IO-Link Masters for EtherNet/IP and Profinet Add Flexibility in Controls Architecture
The newest 8-port IO-Link masters from Balluff for EtherNet/IP and Profinet deliver all the benefits of IO-Link master blocks— remote parameterization, simplified wiring, clone configuration — but in displayless housings.

The newest 8-port IO-Link masters from Balluff for EtherNet/IP and Profinet deliver all the benefits of IO-Link master blocks— remote parameterization, simplified wiring, clone configuration — but in displayless housings.

The EtherNet/IP version, BNI00H2, and the Profinet version, BNI00FW, were designed as drop-in replacements for some of Balluff’s best-selling network blocks, the BNI006A and BNI005H respectively, that are seeing long delivery times. Widespread microchip shortages have slowed production of many IO-Link products. The r****** of the display mitigates this problem without impacting functionality.

The IO-Link master blocks from Balluff allow you to increase your machine flexibility with I/O and smart sensors. In addition, you can use standard, unshielded, off-the-shelf cables for device connection. IO-Link gives unprecedented connectivity to every field level device from data to diagnostics and reduces the total cost of ownership of smart field devices.PREDICTIONS SERIES 2022
