The BL67 concept:
Open, modular, extremely flexible
The modular I/O system called BL67 is
designed to implement tailor-made IP67
solutions which, until today, required
installation in a separate mounting
cabinet. Flexibility at all levels of automation
is the prime consideration.
The BL67 gateway makes the modules
independent of the type of fieldbus
used. It controls the entire data
communication between the fieldbus and
the I/O modules. The gateway further
ensures the system power supply.
The electronic modules are capable of
hot-swapping, i.e., they can be replaced
during operation. They can be removed
and plugged during load-free operation
without having to disconnect the field
wiring. The 24 VDC field supply is either
provided via the gateway or the power
feeding modules.
The base modules offer a choice of diffe-
rent connection technologies (M8, M12,
M16, M23 and 7/8‘‘) and can be mounted
directly on the machine or via DIN rail.
Bus independence, accurate system
planning, robustness and compactness
are the advantages of this system.
In short: openness and flexibility in the
harsh IP67 environment are the BL67’s
strengths.
