Balluff is pleased to announce the introduction of the Profinet All-in-One read/write system. The rugged, space-saving housing is designed to eliminate messy cable runs. This system can operate with a direct connection to the PLC or multiple heads can be daisy chained with only one Ethernet connection running back to the PLC.
Designed to withstand the rigors of a harsh manufacturing environment, the all-in-one system boasts an IP67 rated metal housing and highly visible LEDs. Standard M12 connectors and cables are used for power and Ethernet connections. It is capable of reading and writing large amounts of tag data very quickly, including tags which are mounted directly on metal.
The combined system concept provides a highly scalable solution for increasing visibility on the plant floor. This simplified architecture eliminates unnecessary equipment expenses leading to a quicker return on investment.
