Profinet digital I/O modules
8 October 2014
Computer/Embedded Technology
Molex has released a new Ethernet version of its Brad HarshIO compact 30 mm modules. Designed to provide industrial fieldbus connectivity for Profinet, the new modules offer a cost-effective, IP67-rated, small form factor for high-density machine I/O connections.
The modules are available in fixed and user configurable I/O versions where the Profinet controller can configure (via GSD file) each port as an input, output (up to 0,5 A) or universal digital channel. Featuring an IP67-rated housing, they provide protection against dust, liquid and vibration. Machine mounting saves on cabinet space and reduces wiring costs in the field.
An integrated two-port switch with 100 Mbps delivers full duplex data transmission and enables a daisy-chain wiring topology for additional cost savings. The Molex patented Ultra-Lock push-to-lock connection system ensures fast, safe IP67-sealed connection of cordsets for quick commissioning.
The flexible HarshIO 8-port design supports high-density I/O points for attaching sensing devices, actuators or any single digital signal device in a compact space. Featuring built-in protection to help prevent short circuit and current overload, the configurable modules come equipped with diagnostic LEDs for visual feedback on network, power and I/O status.
