Object DetectionPositioning is only as precise as the sensor itself

Magnetic field sensors/sensors for pneumatic cylindersMagnetic field sensors mainly monitor piston positions on cyl-inders and grippers. Non-contacting and wear-free, since the sensor detects the field of the magnet embedded in the piston through the cylinder wall. You profit from the resulting high reli-ability and long service life.

Another plus: Magnetic field sensors with the unique mounting bracket concept and a captive switching point are for universal application. Magnetic field sensors with integrated holder fea-ture compact design and ease of installation. And for special requirements such as weld and temperature immunity or en-hanced ruggedness you will find additional versions The mini-designs are also available. And our magnetic field sensors in tubular housings guarantee generous switching distances.

Meeting the entire range of your needs means mastery of the many physical sensing principles involved. This is why we in-vest in research, development and production, to provide the right solutions wherever inductive or photoelectric standard sensors don't fit the bill.

Magnetic field sensors Pressure sensor

Balluff is continually expanding the line of IO-Link products With the IO-Link pressure sensor Balluff adds an especially attractive product to the IO-Link line. It guarantees not only high reliability with precise measurement acquisition – in 6 pressure ranges up to 600 bar. It also features all the ben-efits of IO-Link: The fast installation using standard cables, ex-panded diagnostics through system-integrated concepts and parameter setting from the system controller. There especially is where the unique benefit of the IO-Link pressure sensor lies: The status and signal data from the sensors are permanently available in the controller and operating unit. And the sensor parameters can be simply managed from the system's central operating unit.

Inductive transmission systems – RemoteSensors often need to follow the movement of a component. In such cases hardwiring is a drawback, especially for rotating objects, since the motion results in cable wear and break. Us-ing inductive transmission of data and energy for the sensor and transmitter, Balluff Remote systems offer IP 67 protection for extreme ambient conditions while operating without contact and wear-free. They enable greater flexibility in designing sys-tems, since there are no more electromechanical interfaces. The transmitter and sensor are attached to the moving mem-ber. The output sensor with integrated output amplifier can be easily connected to a PLC.

Industrial Networking and ConnectivityIO-Link – Technology creates added value

IO-Link as the trailblazer for more added valueNot technical features, but rather secure handling and cost/benefit advantages are what count in the marketplace. Manu-facturers of automation technology today need to recognize synergistic effects and systems integration solutions, advance them and make them the focus of their market strategy efforts. It pays to keep the entire life cycle of machines and equipment in view and to keep the customer in the forefront. This is why in the area of connectivity, Balluff emphasizes not technical prod-ucts, but rather customer benefit and system solutions. "More added value" is what Balluff therefore recognizes as what cus-tomers will expect from the company in the future.

IO-Link clears the wayIO-Link is not just intelligent technology, above all it is a path-finder for more productive machine and systems concepts. In purely technical terms, IO-Link converts the previous data bottleneck between the I/O and process level into a bi-direc-tional and high-performance communications channel. IO-Link opens up entirely new dimensions for installation, parameter setting and diagnostics. Measuring sensors or those whose process signal contains multiple parallel switching bits quickly meet their limits under typical conditions at the process point. IO-Link adds serial communication to the previous binary switching signal to resolve the bottleneck of process, param-eterization and diagnostic data. Automated, error-free and time-saving downloading of parameters is now possible, with no more tedious manual entry of parameter data.

3-conductorIO-Link cable

– Simplest installation

– Continuous diagnostics

– Controller used for parameter setting

Consistent installation simplificationIntelligent sensors generally send a complex output signal: their output is often multi-channel binary, or analog for measur-ing sensors, and frequently a mix of digital and analog signals. No wonder wiring costs have far exceeded the cost of the device itself. IO-Link thoroughly cleans up the installation and cabling jumble: A simple 3-wire standard cable such as is used with binary sensors is all you need to make the connection for any circumstances. The IO-Link process data channel sends 16 bits of process data at intervals of 2.3 ms, regardless of whether the data represent a measured value or switching bits. Balluff sensor hubs also link the majority of simple switching sensors with up to 16 sensors to an IO-Link channel, or on the 3-wire standard cable to the world of IO-Link.

Anticipatory diagnosticsMany sensors and actuators even today make valuable addi-tional diagnostic information available in addition to the actual process signal. But in practice, this tool often remains unused. No problem with IO-Link: The versatile interface sends diag-nostic information over the service data channel and makes it available at any desired location in the system and even any-where in the world.

Radical changes on the process levelMore powerful communications connections have always in-fluenced the communications tools and stations. Thanks to IO-Link there is a lot going on at the scene of the action: Because IO-Link is a manufacturer-neutral standard, industry has be-come aware of its virtues in simpler installation and consistent parameter setting, this innovative interface is gaining greater acceptance each day. Additional intelligent process devices are always being introduced, with a conscious effort to take into account a broad product range from different manufactur-ers. This is what creates confidence. IO-Link has really just one ambition: More transparent processes, greater equipment availability, and thereby more productive machine and system concepts.
