Industrial Ethernet I/O Modules for Motorized Drive Rollers

Jan. 29, 2019
HarshIO Industrial Ethernet I/O Modules from Molex allow programmable logic controllers to connect to motorized drive rollers via Ethernet.

This is done without requiring a proprietary system specific to one motorized drive roller (MDR) manufacturer, pending the application and MDR type in use. The units are designed for system builders, integrators and end users designing conveying lines for factory automation, material handling and baggage handling applications. The modules feature a metallic plate for functional grounding; four- and five-pole power connector versions; Ultra-Lock M12 connectors; an IP67 seal; eight digital channels; four motor drive roller channels; diagnostic LEDs; three rotary switches; a two-port Ethernet switch; an Ethernet metallic plate to allow both ODVA and PI grounding strategies; and Ethernet fieldbus connectivity. They simplify systems by controlling up to four MDRs on one module. The product also auto-detects both Itoh Denki PM500XE/XP and Interroll EC310 MDRs and offers active MDR protection through smart energy dissipation.
