An expansion module attaches directly to the Profibus or Profinet
network, either as a new node or by substituting it for an existing
node. Then, using standard low cost 3-conductor M12 cordsets, attach
up to four intelligent IO-Link sensors up to 20 meters away from the
Balluff IO-Link expansion module. Hardware includes network expansion
modules, sensor hubs, standard M12 non-shielded 3-conductor cordsets,
standard sensors, and intelligent IO-Link sensors. Sensors are
available in a range of different sensing technologies, including
distance feedback, RFID, and pressure monitors.
