The evolution in communication technology in the industry opened the doors to new solutions for industrial automation. IO-Link is one of these solutions, an open communication standard for sensors and actuators, defined by the PROFIBUS User Organization (PI).
IO-Link can be used for point-to-point connection of sensors and actuators to the control system; Fast and reliable data transmission guaranteed.
IO-Link technology
The Pizzato BN series control unit stands out as a versatile and state-of-the-art device. By connecting to the IO-Link master, the BN control device unit can exchange essential data about the surrounding environment, providing detailed information about the different operational phases.
The data sent includes the status of the buttons and different types of devices, the status of the LEDs, the supply voltage, the time of use of the device and the temperature.
A key feature of the BN-series IO-Link control device unit is its ability to detect any out-of-range values in the monitored data. The system can detect any anomalies or potential risks so that operators can quickly take the necessary measures.
Plus, with IO-Link technology, all device data can be displayed in real time, meaning immediate tracking and accurate performance.
plug & play
One of the main advantages of the BN series IO-Link Control Device Unit compared to traditional wired solutions is that it is really easy to install.
Plug & Play technology makes the device easy to integrate into the system without the need for complex, time-consuming and expensive wiring. This makes it much easier and faster to replace the device if it becomes damaged or malfunctions, without having to dismantle entire parts of the plant.
RGB LED and customizable colors
Another distinctive feature of the BN series IO-Link control unit is that, unlike the classic BN control unit, it has RGB illuminated buttons.
This additional feature allows the user to customize the device with a wide range of colors including: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, and White.
Other innovative lighting features include the ability to adjust brightness and activate multi-frequency flashing via the IO-Link system. This allows you to adapt the control device unit to various environmental conditions, with state-of-the-art visual indication of system states.
The BN series control unit with IO-Link technology represents a major evolution in industrial automation; allows new configurations, customizations and controls, which can be implemented quickly and easily.
