    Machine Mount I/O

    March 26, 2010
    Distributing machine mounted input/output devices continues to be a hot trend. Using Ethernet as the network of choice is growing.

    Balluff's new line of EtherNet/IP machine mount I/O blocks provides seamless communication to sensors and actuators. The line includes twelve versions of machine-mount I/O blocks and an IP 67 unmanaged switch.

    IP addressing can be accomplished using BOOTP/ DHCP, through an IP67 IP Address Plug (IPAP), via a pushbutton display (100 series only), or web pages. Backlit for easy reading, the addressable Display shows all the octets of the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address while push buttons allow for easy adjustment of any octet of the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Detachable for rapid module replacement, the IP Address Plug (IPAP) stores the module’s addressing information in a convenient quick-disconnect unit.

    The blocks are certified by ODVA to ensure interoperability and operate at up to 100 Mbit/s. The ethernet cordset attachment point uses a metal threaded M12 D-coded port.
