New IP67 I/O Modules Extend Lumberg Automation Brand into North America

Belden Inc. has extended its Lumberg Automation product line in the Americas region to include three new I/O modules featuring industrial protection class IP67. They provide secure connection between actuators/sensors and control units even under the harshest environmental conditions. Providing additional support for real-time (RT) and isochronous real-time (IRT) communication, the modules offer 16 digital channels configured as inputs, outputs or a combination of both.

All versions come with an encapsulated metal housing, vibration-resistant M12 connection technology and short-circuit proof outputs. Galvanic separation between the I/O channels and the LAN connection ensures reliable data transmission. The behavior of output channels in the event of a fault can be defined via a fail-safe function (PROFINET). What's more, the easy diagnostics concept allows faults to be located swiftly. An integrated dual-port switch (10/100 Mbit/s) allows both line and ring topologies.

Hiyam Wakeem, product manager for Lumberg Automation adds insight to the LioN-R for PROFINET: “Key differentiator features relative to the competition are the fail safe function, high temperature range and full galvanic isolation. LioN-R can be integrated with the Lumberg LioN-Link product offering.”

She goes on to add, “LioN-R modules for the EtherNet/IP application are ruggedized and provide maximum security for EtherNet/IP data communication, guaranteeing highly productive machines and systems.”
