Balluff’s line of IO-Link analog plugs provides a means to easily integrate analog I/O at an overall cost savings. Placing the IP67 Analog Plug between a standard analog field device and the IO-Link Master/Proxy, the plug converts the analog signal to a 14-bit IO-Link signal, eliminating the need for an expensive multi-channel, stand-alone IP67 or IP20 analog module.  Further cost savings are possible by reducing the length of shielded cable. Input and output versions are available in 4-20 mA and 0-10 volts. For more info, call Kelly Panko at Balluff Inc, Florence, KY. (800) 543-8390.
