ifm electronic has developed a new IP 69K field module with four or eight IO-Link ports and full V1.1 functionality, especially for the food industry. The decentralized IO-Link masters serve as a gateway between intelligent IO-Link sensors and the field bus. Master and device can be easily configured with the LR Device software. The integrated "LR AGENT EMBEDDED" sends the process values directly to the ERP system on request, without detours via the PLC. Connecting the sensor is also simple using standard M12 connection cables.
Robust field bus modules for demanding applications
The intuitive LR DEVICE software finds all IO-Link masters in the network and creates an overview of the whole plant. In addition, all connected sensors are displayed with the respective parameters. This makes it possible to set the parameters of all sensors in the system from one central point. A special housing material which offers a high ingress protection according to IP 69K has been developed especially for direct application in wet areas of the food industry. The halogen- and silicon-free materials and production processes are identical to those of the ifm connection cables of the tried-and-tested ecolink EVF product series. This technology guarantees reliable and permanently ingress-resistant M12 connections. In addition to high-quality materials specially tailored to these applications, intensive monitoring during and after production ensures the highest quality standards. With the new IO-Link master the user is already well prepared for Industry 4.0 in hygienic areas.
