Innovative Technologies
Your Solution for Cloud-Based Applications
ICE2/ICE3 Series IO-Link Masters
ICE2 (EtherNet/IP) and ICE3 (PROFINET) series IO-Link masters from Pepperl+Fuchs provide the most versatile industrial IO-Link master solutions supporting the industry’s leading protocols, including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and MODBUS TCP. The modules come with a full web-based configuration approach with no need for any additional software or a higher-level PLC. Together with an integrated OPC-UA interface, the IO-Link masters are the ideal solution for cloud-based and hybrid systems.
OPC UA, short for Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture, enables the platform-independent, interoperable, and cross-vendor collaboration of machines in production and makes communication between machines and systems possible—both in closed networks and via internet. OPC UA can be used in parallel with standard industrial machine control systems, enabling the transfer of value-added data to the cloud.
Find out more about this and other applications of the open data exchange standard in our blog.
Serial Gateways (DeviceMaster®)
DeviceMaster® serial to Ethernet gateways enable superior device networking capabilities to connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices like barcode scanners, weight scales, and RFID readers to Ethernet or industrial Ethernet networks running Ethernet/IP, MODBUS TCP, or PROFINET. The DeviceMaster gateways feature enhanced security, including SSL & SSH management and SSL serial data stream encryption. Products are available with different connector options and support DIN rail, panel, and rack mounting.
RocketLinx® Managed and Unmanaged Ethernet Switches
The RocketLinx® series of managed and unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches are designed to meet both performance and environmental demands. They are made for applications that require extended operating temperatures, rugged housings, high-performance communication, and reliable data transfer. Users can choose from a comprehensive selection of Power-over-Ethernet and Gigabit switches that meet the full range of customer needs.
