Inductive coupler systems are in demand when a particularly large amount of power needs to be transmitted. With the BIC M30, Balluff has now developed a new inductive coupler for contactless power transmission, fast data transmission and condition monitoring all in one.
Inductive coupling systems are always used when a particularly large amount of power needs to be transmitted. This is for example in robotics when controlling gripper arms the case. "Inductive couplers are indispensable in many different applications today," says Balluff Product Manager Dr László Herczeg.
The new BIC M30 inductive couplers can transmit up to 1.5 amps of continuous output current. The energy is transmitted without contact. The IO-Link interface of the inductive couplers enables a smooth, transparent and very easy connection. fast exchange of data between IO-Link device and IO-Link network module.
"The second IO-Link channel, which can be used for process and diagnostic data and therefore for status monitoring, is unique." Dr László Herczeg, Balluff Product manager.
With their compact stainless steel housing in IP67 and UL certification, the inductive couplers can be used flexibly - for example in the packaging or automotive industry or on special machines. "The Contactless energy transfer and transparent bi-directional COM2/COM3 IO-Link data transmission is particularly suitable for production lines where flexibility is required," says Herczeg.
Through their extended operating temperature range The inductive couplers can even cope with harsh environmental conditions thanks to their temperature range of -5 to +70 degrees Celsius and their robust stainless steel housing.
