Ethernet IO Modules
with IO-Link Master
With local control and decentralized operations, fieldbus communication and software components are not required in the main control panel—only diagnostic data are transmitted upstream.
The benefit of this can be seen in a conveyor system, where parts are sorted by correct position and size and, if necessary, removed via a compressed air control system. This process requires extremely quick reaction times, which are achieved by directly connecting inputs and outputs into the module.
Quick reaction times are possible because additional time needed for communication is no longer required, and time-sensitive dependencies on other processes are eliminated.
To prevent unplanned downtimes and associated costs in critical applications such as in the chemical or pharmaceutical industry, Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a IO-Link master with S2 redundancy. It establishes a redundant synchronization mechanism, ensuring that a fallback PLC takes over process control in the event of an error. The primary controller is used for cyclic communication, while the secondary controller only runs in the background and takes over communication if required.
Their resistant, diecast zinc housing and the extended temperature range make the ICE1 modules with S2 redundancy ideally suited for demanding applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
The modules maintain maximum process transparency: Diagnostic parameters can be monitored directly from the module through a web interface or communicated back to the PLC. An integrated web server allows to access the device directly through a web browser, making it possible to view important information and change network parameters such as IP addresses and subnet masks.
LEDs are available on the modules, providing continuous status information and enabling channel-specific diagnosis. This increases productivity by allowing faults to be detected and fixed more efficiently.
