Ultralock connector

Ultralock ™ Connectors

Molex Brad Ultra-Lock Connectors incorporate a mechanical locking design and a unique radial-seal that deliver unsurpassed performance. The patented push-to-lock technology provides a simple and secure operator-independent connection. This positive locking design provides built-in reliability that eliminates connector related intermittent signals in the harshest environments. Fewer intermittent signals mean less downtime and better productivity. The unique radial o-ring seal design, similar to what is found in hydraulic connectors, provides a more robust protection against water ingress even in high-pressure wash-down environments. Molex Ultra-Lock products include Ultra-Lock cordsets and splitters, panel mount receptacles that accept both Ultra-Lock as well as traditional M12 threaded cordsets, and a range of Ultra-Lock molded, pre-wired passive distribution boxes that simplify wiring of I/O devices. The rugged, IP69K Stainless Steel MPIS® Distribution Box featuring Ultra-Lock connections, withstands corrosive, high-pressure washdowns in Food and Beverage and other sanitised plant-floor applications.

Datalogic IO-Link Master CBX-8IOL

IO-Link Master

CBX-8IOL is a versatile active master exchange for IO-Link. As a gateway with built-in OPC-UA technology, it combines the advantages of both IO-Link and Ethernet-IP, Profinet and Modbus in one and the same product series with two variants for suitable bus systems. With CBX-8IOL, no PLC is integrated into the system, which reduces hardware and software costs. IO-Link data can be sent by an IO-Link product directly to any SCADA or HMI software system. The unique and integrated WEB server technology enables users to connect to IO-Link products with only one Ethernet-based device and use all commercial browsers, set up and read sensor parameters efficiently.
