Are you using IO-Link to enable OEE analytics yet still have remote pockets where critical equipment should be continuously monitored during operations? We can help.

The Banner S15C Modbus to IO-Link converters can be used at the end of a Modbus communication line, very near the IO-Link Master. Now, the 20-meter IO-Link communication line constraint is not a factor. The S15C converters make it easy to deploy both existing and new sensors to access the data that is vital to OEE initiatives. Additional converter benefits include remote configuration and more efficient sensor replacements when needed.

The 8 new models of the S15C Series of In-Line Converters were designed to easily re-deploy your existing Modbus and analog sensors as IO-Link devices. There are six Modbus to IO-Link converters that can be used with Banner’s line of Modbus sensors including Vibration/Temperature, Temperature/Humidity, Ultrasonic, Measuring Light Curtain, and GPS.  There is also a configurable generic converter that permits most any Modbus device to be deployed as an IO-Link device. The two analog sensor models will convert 4 to 20mA or 0 to 10 V dc signals to their digital values and recast them as IO-Link data.
