IP67 Profibus panel module saves cost and installation time
Balluff is introducing a new Profibus Panel module that offers user cost savings and easy installation. Mounted with just four screws, this IP67 protected module uses a Profibus interface allowing users the advantages of Profibus - such as no need for costly I/O or analogue cards. From the Profibus module, standard three-core cable connects to IO-Link input hubs, and valve terminal connectors offer users significant savings in installation costs.
When used in conjunction with Balluff Sensor Hubs and valve terminal connectors up to 96 digital and analogue I/O can be connected to the control panel via just four standard three-core cables, making it the Profibus panel module highly suitable for small to medium-sized machines and equipment.
Thanks to a separate actuator power source, devices such as hydraulic valves or pneumatic valves can be powered separately.
Equipment with Balluff panel modules can be tested before shipping and generally placed in service on site without the need for electricians or additional wiring effort.
