IO Link Controllers and Modules
Create a system of sensors and actuators that you can remotely update, view measurements from, and receive error messages in real time. IO Link systems minimize downtime by locating issues such as cut cables or dirty sensors quickly. They send only digital signals to your PLC, regardless of whether your sensors and actuators send digital or analog signals. Because these systems send digital signals, they’re more reliable and less prone to data error and signal loss than analog signals. It also means you don't have to use expensive shielded cables since they resist EMI.
When retrofitting an existing system, you'll need to make sure your PLC can incorporate IO Link. Check with your PLC manufacturer—most have hardware that allows you to upgrade your PLC to run IO Link.
Controllers communicate between your sensors and actuators and your PLC. They are required. Setting memory automatically stores your settings and restores them once your device is back online. This eliminates needing to program a device again when you replace or fix it. Surface mount controllers let you mount controllers on equipment such as tanks and conveyors. By mounting them on your equipment, you save space in your control cabinet. They use M12 connectors.
Expansion modules increase the number of inputs and outputs in your IO Link system, so you can add more sensors and actuators to your network. Connect multiple devices to each expansion module using M12 connectors, without needing to wire your devices inside a control cabinet. They transmit signals from multiple devices with a single cord. Expansion modules are optional, but when used, they must connect to a controller. Mount them on your equipment to save space in your control cabinet.
Converters translate analog signals to digital signals, making sensors and actuators IO-Link compatible. They are required to connect analog components to controllers and modules.
Protective caps prevent dust and debris from harming M12 connections when they're not in use. They also help maintain IP ratings by covering unused ports. Stainless steel protective caps have a neoprene gasket, which helps maintain IP69K ratings.
IP rated components block out dust and withstand some water, so they do not require an enclosure. Ports that are unused must be capped to maintain their rating. IP65 rated components can be rinsed. IP66 rated components withstand washdowns. IP67 rated components can be temporarily submerged in water. IP69K rated components hold up to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns.
Note: Sockets may have extra holes on their face that are not used.

Non-resettable meters prevent tampering and accidental loss of data.
Meters that are rated NEMA 4X are protected from dust and washdowns and can be used outdoors.
Electrically Actuated Hour Meters with Output Relay
Display running time on a machine so you can schedule preventative maintenance. These counters have two displays. One display shows the total running time and cannot be reset; the other shows the time elapsed since the last maintenance and can be wired for remote reset. The output relay turns on an indicator light and sends a signal to another device when the counter reaches a set point. The signal can start/stop a process or trigger an alarm.

Preventative Maintenance and Inspection Indicators
Mount these indicators to your equipment, and their bright LED will catch your attention when it’s time for maintenance or inspection. They’re commonly used to keep track of maintenance on production lines and HVAC systems, or paired with inspection tags on fire extinguishers and eye wash stations.
When first set, these indicators flash a dark green and then a light green color every two minutes. As a scheduled inspection approaches, they flash a yellow light every 10 seconds. And when an inspection is past due, they blink red every two seconds. Reset indicators to start the countdown again. They meet IP65, so they seal out dust and low-pressure washdowns.

Tachometers/Hour Meters for Gas Powered Engines
Continuously measure the speed and running time of your engine to monitor its performance and detect mechanical issues early. These meters can be programmed based on engine run time to light up for maintenance reminders, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections. Wrap the signal wire four to five times around your spark plug to secure it in place. They’re battery powered, so they will start showing readings as soon as you turn on the engine. It adjusts to nine different engine types for accurate readings. They’re rated IP67, so they won’t get damaged from dust and water.
