Belden Launches New Lumberg Automation Lion-M PROFINET I/O Modules

The new I/O modules from Lumberg Automation’s LioN-M series enable sensors and actuators to be linked into real-time PROFINET I/O networks

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, has added LioN-M I/O PROFINET modules to its Lumberg Automation product range. The new PROFINET I/O modules support both the real time (RT) and isochronous real time (IRT) standards.

“These modules, which were especially designed for machines and systems with high signal density and stringent real-time requirements, allow easy cabling, individual I/O configuration and precise diagnostics. This means that maintenance and downtime can be reduced, thus increasing the productivity of your machines and systems”

In the 0980 ESL 701 (16DI) module, channels are used as inputs, and in the universal version 0980 ESL 700 (16DIO Universal) they are used as either inputs or outputs in any combination up to a total of 16 points. The 0980 ESL 700 has a rated output current of up to 1.6A, with a maximum total current capacity of 9A. The easy diagnostic concept enables precise fault location for each individual port. Both modules facilitate line topologies and can also be used for existing communications structures such as cable ducts and energy chains without making any changes to their physical layout. The universal module also offers the highest possible degree of flexibility, not only at the planning stage but also when making changes at the commissioning stage or during subsequent upgrades.

Both network ports are equipped with four-pole M12 connectors with D coding. The eight I/O ports, each of which can be assigned to two digital I/O signals, have five-pole M12 connectors with A coding. The network ports are color-coded to prevent any possible confusion. These PROFINET I/O modules support DCP and LLDP. DCP protocol is used to assign the unique PROFINET device name to the module. By this device name the module is clearly identified in the PROFINET network. GSDML files can be downloaded from www.lumberg-automation.com.

The I/O modules have a robust housing made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) and measuring 243 x 60 x 23 mm (length x width x height); including the slots for the power supply, the height is 39.5 mm. Both versions meet the requirements for industrial protection class IP67 and are designed for temperatures ranging from 10° to +60°C. The power supply, which is connected via two five-pole 7/8" connectors, has a rated voltage of 24V and a range of 11V to 30V.

With the new I/O modules from the Lumberg Automation, LioN-M series, Belden is now also offering an innovative connectivity solution for ProfiNet I/O.

“These modules, which were especially designed for machines and systems with high signal density and stringent real-time requirements, allow easy cabling, individual I/O configuration and precise diagnostics. This means that maintenance and downtime can be reduced, thus increasing the productivity of your machines and systems,” said Hiyam Wakeem, product manager.

The Lumberg Automation brand means dependable signal transmission – even in harsh industrial environments. The brand represents experience and expertise in automation technology, developed since pioneering the industries first ratcheted IP 67 round connector for harsh environments.
