Pepperl & Fuchs New CB10 I/O Hubs with IO-Link:
Maximum Flexibility In The Smallest Space
New CB10 I/O Hubs allow direct integration into the smallest installation spaces. They can easily be directly connected to an IO-Link master, making your push buttons IO-Link-capable. It reduces costs, saves space and could improve your manufacturing environment... why wouldn't you want to find out more?
What Is It All About?
Pepperl & Fuchs are focussed on making your life easier (well, your work life anyway), and this innovation is no exception. Push button boxes are often used where operators need to control machinery or processes, and combining this simple but effective hardware solution with I/O Link capabilities makes it even easier.
Connecting a standard push button box to an IO-Link master can increase costs, and also gives your engineers another job of wiring them. So far, it's proven difficult to use IO-Link as an interface - until now!
The CB10 series I/O hubs are the ideal solution for direct integration into the smallest of spaces. With their very compact housing (just 39.5 x 36 x 10.1 mm), the modules can be connected directly to an IO-Link master therefore making push button boxes IO-Link-capable.
Versatile and Robust Modules
With the ability to connect 8 standard devices with freely configurable digital inputs/outputs makes the CB10 suitable for a wide range of applications, from stack lights to push button boxes, as well as the integration of 3-wire sensors.
Another bonus, is the modules are also made using innovative hotmelt technology, in which melted adhesive materials create strong and robust bonds, providing hardwearing and shock-resistant housings for the highest quality and durability.
Fast and Easy Installation and Commissioning
Ok, we've got another benefit for you! Not only are the CB10 I/O hubs space saving, robust, practical and innovative but they are also super user-friendly in both assembly and commissioning.
This modular solution is super easy to integrate with IO-Link networks. OEMs can even preassemble push button panels in their own plants and connect them directly on-site! Pepperl & Fuchs have also made installation a breeze, with different wire colours and pre-crimped leads. Plus, with handy LED lights to alert you if anything goes wrong - there's no guesswork needed.
The Highlights:
You've probably realised by now just how many benefits are packed into this little gem; It is significantly more economical to connect several push buttons to one port and this port isn't going to let you down with its robust construction and space-saving design. It's also universally applicable, with variants for your needs: mechanical push buttons, 3-wire sensors, and signal lamps.
