Impact67 - Now in EtherCat
There is an ongoing trend to remove confusing clusters of input and output connectors from control cabinets. Murrelektronik provides the right solution for applications that need to meet basic machine installation requirements without having any special demands. Impact67 is the module for very economic decentralization. These fieldbus modules provide cost effective basic functionality with pluggable connections, diagnostic options, and IP67 tested seals.
The modules feature port-related monitoring functions. Peripheral faults, such as short-ciruits or overloads, are clearly displayed by a red LED at the port and the affected port will be shut off. This enables quick troubleshooting, thus reducing machine down-time.
This makes Impact67 the perfect choice for an electrical engineer whose objective is minimizing costs while maintaining digital inputs and outputs under ordinary environmental conditions. Many applications are possible: in the plant engineering field (logistics, waste treatment, palletizing), in the non-cutting metal industry (sheet metal working, robotics, wood processing), and in the transfer and materials-handling industry.
From now on these modules are also available for EtherCat, CanOpen, DeviceNet, and EtherNet/IP as well as the existing Profibus range. Even more fieldbus users can benefit from the advantages provided by its cost-effective, basic functionality.
