Lutze IO-Link gateway provides advanced energy management and monitoring status information like flowing current or operating voltage, as well as remote control and parameterization of all connected LOCC-Box-Net modules. By incorporating a gateway into dc applications, each LOCC-Box-Net module can be configured and controlled individually or collectively as an entire set. The LOCC-Box ECB is commonly used in control cabinets for overload and short-circuit protection. The IO-Link gateway adds a module to the LOCC-Box portfolio that shares the same compact housing width of 8.1 mm as the LOCC-Box-Net modules themselves. The networkable LOCC-Box modules and the IO-Link gateway create an interconnected system via jumper combs. The jumper combs connect communication and 0V signals from one LOCC-Box module to another. In addition to the I/O Link interface, the gateway features a USB port, through which all relevant status information, such as trip diagnostics and current and voltage measurements, can be read using the free LOCC-Pads software. The communication capabilities of the IO-Link gateway offer connectivity that is designed to be robust, reliable and easy to integrate into any fieldbus applications. The gateway communication capabilities make LOCC-Box-Net viable for remote locations and hard-to-access applications. Further network capabilities are enhanced by LOCC-Pads software offering customized parameter settings, analyses and remote diagnostics.
