The machine-mountable, IP67-rated Allen-Bradley ArmorBlock IO-Link master enables users to access more detailed sensor diagnostics. The module builds on the IO-Link portfolio with event and process time-stamping capabilities for on-machine applications. The product supports up to eight IO-Link devices and is based on the IO-Link specification V1.1. It can store up to 40 time stamps of sensor events on each channel. Input time stamps of all sensor data also can be sent to the controller upon a change of state. While the IO-Link master is ruggedized for use in harsh applications, an in-cabinet solution is available for use in decentralized control boxes.
