Enhancements to Lumberg Automation
LioN-Power Family Streamlines Path to Fieldbus-Independent and
One-Device Automation
Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions
for mission critical applications, has expanded the Lumberg
Automation LioN-Power product family to help industrial
manufacturers address exploding Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT) connectivity needs through simplified device automation. The
updates and additions bring added flexibility through universal
digital I/O modules, as well as holistic solutions through new
IO-Link system devices.
“Manufacturers need economical, straightforward ways to connect
legacy systems and build out new networks. And they need the
flexibility to manage a wide range of complex in-field automation
and control tasks,” said Paul Just, product manager of I/O systems
at Belden. “The updates to the LioN-Power family offer maximum
versatility and cost-effectiveness. In addition to leveraging
standardized protocols, the products feature user-friendly
integration and configuration tools that eliminate the need for
specialized programming skills.”
Enhancements to the LioN-Power product portfolio include:
- The upgraded LioN-Power
Multi-protocol I/O Modules take fieldbus-independent automation
capabilities to the next level. The addition of 16 universal
digital input/output (16DIO) channels, paired with cross-protocol
functionality spanning PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT, make
them the most versatile I/O modules on the market. Unique “Flex-Bit
Technology” also makes connecting legacy machines with different
bitmaps incredibly simple.
- Lumberg Automation’s IO-Link System has
expanded with the new LioN-Power IO-Link Hub with 16 digital
inputs. Now, IO-Link devices, masters and hubs can be easily
connected to efficiency process up to 132 I/O signals per system.
With this solution, it makes financial and economic sense to
upgrade from passive to active systems, or for distributed
environments to collect many digital signals. Integration and
configuration of IO-Link devices is also made effortless through
the TMG IO-Link Device Tool.
- The LioN-Power DCU1, the first
multi-protocol distributed control unit with M12 power L-coding
technology, now offers a 16DIO version. With UL 61010-1 approval,
the LioN-Power 16DIO DCU can couple new and existing machines to an
Ethernet network across PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT
protocols – quickly transforming fieldbus machines into IP-ready
devices. By delivering customized performance of automation
functions within a single device, the DCU1 improves overall
automation security and simplifies machine transparency.
All LioN-Power System components are designed to operate in the
harsh and confined environments typical of robotics; machine and
material handling; automotive and food/beverage manufacturing;
transportation; and other industrial sectors.
