Inductive IO-Link Sensors with Analog Output:
Turck, a leader in sensor technology, has recently announced an expansion of its sensor range. The company is introducing inductive measuring sensors with IO-Link and an analog output, designed for both flush and non-flush mounting. This new range includes the BI11-CK40 and NI11-CK40 models, which offer significant advancements in linearity and accuracy, thanks to their integrated microprocessor.
One key feature of these sensors is their improved temperature compensation, which operates over a wide range from -25 to +75 °C. Unlike other sensors in this category, the BI11-CK40 and NI11-CK40 models are equipped with a standard adjustable 0 to 10 V voltage output. Additionally, they feature an extra switching output that can be customized via IO-Link, providing precise measurement data and comprehensive diagnostic functions for predictive maintenance.
This development represents a significant step forward in sensor technology, offering enhanced performance and versatility for industrial applications.

According to an article from Rockwell Automation, their industrial computers are designed to meet the specific needs of industrial environments, addressing physical limitations and requirements. The range includes non-display computers with options in form factors, RAM, storage, performance, operating temperatures, and optical drives.
According to an article from Profinews, Servotronix has introduced the CDHD2S PN, a new servo drive featuring high performance and a PROFINET interface. The servo drive incorporates an adaptive non-linear control algorithm designed to enhance servo performance in high-precision motion applications. The current loop design enables a frequency response of 3-5 kHz. Additionally, the drive includes a position compare output, facilitating rapid synchronization of actual position with the machine process. Moreover, the drive can directly control the operation of triggering devices like cameras, barcode readers, or printing heads.
In a recent article from Rockwell Automation, the Allen-Bradley® OptixPanel™ Compact has been highlighted for its cutting-edge features, driven by an NXP® i.MX 8M Mini Quad ARM Cortex A53 1.6 GHz processor. This processor empowers the panel to deliver high-performance Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications, offering visualization and control capabilities. It ensures full industrial interoperability for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) scenarios and seamlessly interfaces with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems through native support for the OPC UA and MQTT protocols, enabling communication with cloud infrastructures.
According to an article from Kollmorgen, the AKD2G servo drive update enables synchronized motion between multiple drives using various control architectures, making it ideal for applications requiring precise coordination across multiple motion axes. The AKD2G drive offers industry-leading power density in a compact package, making it easy to mount, with options for one- and two-axis variants. Engineers can utilize single-cable Smart Feedback Device (SFD) or HIPERFACE® DSL connections, or choose from a wide range of other feedback devices. Optional SafeMotion®™ Monitor (SMM) firmware with a safety level of SIL3/PLe is available to meet functional safety needs and enable a broader range of applications.
According to an article from Balluff, the IDENT sensors, introduced in 2023, offer advanced code reading capabilities, including 1D and 2D barcode scanning and direct part marked code recognition. These sensors also feature built-in condition monitoring functions and support IO-Link integration, eliminating the need for additional Ethernet drops and IP addresses.
