Inductive IO-Link Sensors with Analog Output by Turck

By
Julius Frago
-

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.

IT/OT Convergence Trends and Best Practices:

A recent article from Rockwell Automation highlights the increasing convergence of IT and OT in 2024, driven by the rise of smart manufacturing. This integration involves incorporating sensors and connected systems, such as wireless networks, into industrial environments like those used for water treatment and manufacturing. Known as smart factories, this trend merges automation, communications, and networking, offering innovative opportunities across all industrial sectors.

However, with the proliferation of smart factories comes increased cybersecurity risks. Safeguarding OT operations against these threats requires enhanced collaboration between IT and OT teams, as well as a comprehensive, enterprise-wide approach to IT/OT cybersecurity.

Margo: The new open standard initiative:

In a recent article from Schneider Electric, the Margo initiative was highlighted for its leadership in creating a new open standard for interoperability at the edge of industrial automation. Named after the Latin word for ‘edge’, Margo defines mechanisms for interoperability among edge applications, edge devices, and edge orchestration software. This open standard aims to bring much-needed flexibility, simplicity, and scalability, breaking through barriers to innovation in complex, multi-vendor environments and accelerating digital transformation for organizations of all sizes.

Hosted by the Joint Development Foundation, a part of the Linux Foundation family, the initiative has garnered support from some of the largest automation solution providers globally. Founding members include ABB, B&R, Capgemini, Microsoft, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, AVEVA, and Siemens. The Margo group invites like-minded industry peers to collaborate and contribute to building a meaningful and effective interoperability standard that will help customers achieve their digital transformation goals with greater speed and efficiency.

Securing The Connected Enterprise:

According to a recent article from Rockwell Automation, cyberattacks targeting industrial organizations are relentless and increasingly sophisticated. This situation presents a significant challenge for these organizations in maintaining compliance with evolving regulations, such as the IEC 62443-3-3 certification. Achieving this certification was a collaborative effort, reflecting a comprehensive response to the escalating cyber threats facing industrial sectors. For organizations like ours, the question is not “if” but “when” a cyberattack will occur.

Rockwell Automation, alongside partners like Cisco, Claroty, and Dragos, has been providing OT and IT cybersecurity support to industrial organizations for years. With acquisitions of companies like Avnet, Oylo, and Verve Industrial Protections, Rockwell Automation has deepened its understanding of the unique challenges in protecting OT environments. Pursuing the IEC 62443-3-3 certification was a proactive step to adapt to this growing threat landscape, ensuring the safety of both Rockwell Automation and its customers.
