Balluff Magnetostrictive linear position measuring system with IO-Link
All measured values and status data are sent digitally and via a simple, three-wire cable via IOLink master to the control level. The contact-free transducers with intelligent communication interface are used preferably where comprehensive IO-Link designs are to simplify the configuration, accelerate the installation and reduce costs during wiring. Thanks to IO-Link, the end results are streamlined productive manufacturing solutions, that enable automatic configuration during running operation and provide transparent diagnostics down to the process level.
PF magnetostrictive position measuring transducers from Balluff are characterized by their flat construction and a robust, shock-, vibration- and soiling-insensitive design in enclosure rating IP 67. Thanks to multi-magnet technology, the contactfree transducers reliably detect the measurement position and ensure absolute and precise results. Measurement lengths from 50 to 4,570 mm can be realized; the position measuring systems tolerate a vertical and horizontal offset of the magnet to the sensor profile of up to 15 mm.
With its point-to-point connection under networks of any type, IO-Link establishes a high-performance communication channel in both directions. Against the background of increasing demand for IO-Link designs, Balluff's Magnetostrictive Linear Position Measuring Systems with IO-Link Balluff has, with the Micropulse PF IOLink, equipped another device from its product line with the intelligent interface. The contact-free position measurement technology communicates with a speed of 230kB, achieves a process data cycle of 1 ms and offers a resolution of 1μm. As a result, even fast movements can be reliably detected. Via M12 connectors with a standard sensor cable, the transducers are connected quickly and easily to the IO-Link master and integrated in the controller.
Due to the integrated information flow, all data can be stored centrally and consistently. With IO-Link, configuration in running operation, monitoring and diagnostics all the way down to the place of occurrence are possible.
