Lumberg Automation expanded LioN-Power I/O range

Belden has added connectors, cordsets and modules to Lumberg Automation’s LioN-Power system. The updated range gives teams field-level solutions that enhance performance, while saving space and allowing them to take advantage of new technologies for IIoT. There are six additions to the LioN-Power range.

The LioN-Power μDCU (micro distributed control unit) is designed to make one-device automation possible by combining the capabilities of a field I/O with a programmable logic controller (PLC), with multiprotocol support for Profinet, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT.

LioN-Power Multiprotocol I/O Modules add EtherCAT support to the line’s existing support for Profinet and EtherNet/IP. They also feature a universal 16 digital I/O module option that give users the freedom to adjust the modules to any I/O configuration to meet the various needs of their systems.

LioN-Power IO-Link Masters are fieldbus-independent, multiprotocol modules that ensure consistent, intelligent communication between programmable logic controllers and smart devices that is necessary for IIoT.

LioN-Power Hybrid I/O Modules combine power and data transfer with multiprotocol support in combination with M12 Hybrid technology. Their space-saving interface reduces the number of cables needed, in order to simplify installation, and makes replacing modules easier.

LioN-Power M12 Hybrid Connectors provide one interface that simultaneously transfers power and Fast Ethernet data. They have undergone rigorous testing, making them the first M12 hybrid connectors to receive UL 2238 certification.

Lumberg Automation has also added a screw design option to its line of LioN-Power M8 5-pole B-coded Cordsets. This option adds stronger mechanical resistance and high-pressured water protection up to IP69K.
