The TBIP CIP safety hybrid block I/O module combines safety I/O and general purpose I/O in a single on-machine, remote I/O device. Both IP67 hybrid modules can be adapted to an installation’s signal requirements through the use of configurable input/output points and by leveraging IO-Link’s flexibility. On the safety side, the hybrid modules offer two safety inputs for connecting safety sensors, such as light curtains or emergency stop buttons. Two additional safety channels can be used as either inputs or outputs. The general purpose (non-safety-related) side includes four configurable discrete inputs/outputs capable of switching up to 2 amps when used as outputs.
