BNI00E1 (Ethernet/IP) and BNI00AZ (Profinet) device integration IO-Link masters feature 4x Type A IO-Link ports and 4x Type B IO-Link ports. They offer M12 T-coded power connections capable of up to 12 A of power and have 9 A of galvanically isolated output power with up to 2 A per port on Type B ports to drive high-amperage devices such as pneumatic or hydraulic valves. Web server capabilities on board the master enable remote configuring, parameterizing and monitoring IO-Link devices with IODD files without the need for additional software.
