Manufacturers can further streamline operation processes and reduce deployment time with the release of an enhanced firmware and Add-on Profile (AOP) update in the Allen-Bradley® ArmorBlock 5000® IO-Link master blocks. The newly added features, coupled with the On-Machine™ capability, provide a significant boost in functionality and performance for applications within demanding industrial environments.
Highlights of the new capabilities in ArmorBlock 5000 IO-Link master blocks include:
Generic IO-Link profileallows compatibility with a wider range of IO-Link devices, enabling expanded machine capabilities for existing automation systems.
Process Data only modefurther simplifies the IO-Link integration experience by transmitting data specified by the IO-Link device.
Automatic download of IODD filesvia the IO-Link device registration tool helps to simplify the workflow, speeding up configuration and optimizing overall efficiency.
EDS file import/exportfunctionality enables more efficient project deployment where users can leverage the same EDS file across different machines.
Change typefunctionality allows the replacement of an IO-Link master block with a different power variant without device and software reconfiguration.
With these latest enhancements, manufacturers can benefit from increased flexibility, efficiency, and productivity in their automation processes. The improved ArmorBlock 5000 IO-Link master blocks will heighten the Premier Integration experience, which makes automating and maintaining the system easier than before.
