Animations for Intuitive Indication
The Pro Series programmable multicolor LED devices from Banner Engineering offer limitless possibilities for advanced indication of dynamic machine states, operator interaction, and process statuses. Use Banner’s Pro Editor Software, IO-Link, or PICK-IQ® for real-time communication across your factory.
What is Pro?
The Pro Series programmable multicolor LED devices from Banner Engineering offer limitless possibilities for advanced indication of dynamic machine states, operator interaction, and process statuses. The Pro Series is ideal if you are looking for advanced capabilities or flexibility above a traditional factory light. Whether you have discrete or protocol devices,
the Pro Series use Banner’s Pro Editor Software, IO-Link, or PICK-IQ® for real-time communication across your factory.
Software for Programmable Devices
Banner’s Pro Editor software allows users to program device status, colors, animations, and much more for control via discrete inputs, bringing intuitive indication and interaction to the visual factory. Programmable RGB devices make supply chains more efficient by allowing you to standardize on one model that can be customized as needed. The application-based interface makes it easy to configure a device for a wide range of applications such as displaying machine warm-up time, indicating unique steps in an assembly process, showing distance and position information, and communicating multiple machine states.
Reduced Costs and Increased Efficiency
IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master and a light, providing many advantages such as standardized and reduced wiring, increased data availability, remote configuration and monitoring, simple device replacement, and advanced diagnostics. IO-Link models allow for dynamic control—reacting to inputs from other devices—and have additional modes that the discrete units do not. IO-Link enables users to change device parameters from the control system as needed, such as during product changeover, which reduces downtime and allows machines to accommodate greater product diversity. The models also offer unique LED color management to provide advanced users with total control. These devices connect cleanly to IO-Link architecture and help reduce costs, increase process efficiency, and improve machine availability.
Faster Response Speed and Simplified Programming
PICK-IQ® is a purpose-built serial bus protocol that maintains high speeds even in networks with high device count, bringing faster responses and simplified programming to Modbus RTU communication. Devices with PICK-IQ allow full access to color, flashing, rotating, and dimming settings as well as advanced animations such as advanced process statuses and LED control. Using PICK-IQ adds a simple change to the devices that allow the Modbus master controller to run standard Modbus protocol, but achieve the performance required by medium to large sized installations.
Offer a Wide Variety of Bright, Highly Visible Models
Programmable multicolor LED indicators provide bold, bright status indication and offer up to fourteen standard color choices from just three inputs. Pro Editor compatible models can be programmed with a variety of additional color and animation options using Banner’s intuitive software. Models with IO-Link or PICK-IQ communication offer dynamic control and millions of custom color options.
- Configure color, flashing, intensity, rotation, and audible
- Up to 14 colors, four different sizes for machine or panel mount
- Pro Editor models offer simple wiring enabling easy setup and reduced installation time
- Harness the power of all models of Pro with PICK-IQ™ using device-to-device connections
- PICK-IQ devices provide the ideal solution for production lines and fulfillment stations that require dynamic indication
- Models with IO-Link communication enable almost limitless capacity for custom indication
- Standardize on fewer models that can be customized in-field, saving costs and inventory requirements
