Hybrid I/O Module for CIP Safety

June 4, 2018
The hybrid safety concept from Turck combines both safety I/O and general purpose I/O in a single, rugged, on-machine, remote I/O device.

The CIP Safety (TBIP) module for CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP expands the company’s hybrid safety offering, which already includes the TBPN safety block I/O module that connects via PROFIsafe or PROFINET and combines standard and safety I/Os in one device to reduce system costs. It was the first block I/O module to combine both standard and safety inputs/outputs in a single device. Both IP67 hybrid modules can be adapted to the actual signal requirements of an installation through the use of configurable input/output points and by leveraging the flexibility of IO-Link. On the safety side, the hybrid modules offer two safety inputs for connecting safety sensors, such as light curtains or emergency stop buttons. Two additional safety channels can be used as either inputs or outputs. The general purpose (non-safety related) side includes four configurable discrete inputs/outputs capable of switching up to two amps when used as outputs. Two IO-Link master ports are also available, which offer an additional 32 points of configurable discrete I/O when used with Turck IO-Link hubs.
