I/O Systems

Cube20 is a centralized IP20 I/O station with modular function modules and the ability to connect direct to Cube67 modules. The compact modules have a high signal installation of up to 32 channels in one module. This significantly reduces the wiring efforts in the cabinet. Up to 488 I/O points in a width of only 90 centimeters helps to save space in the cabinet.

• IP67 and IP20 transitional modules
• Maintenance-free spring clamp terminals and removable terminal blocks
• Visible LEDs make signal status easy to trouble shoot
• Expandable to 15 modules with one IP address
• Expand from the cabinet up to 10m with Cube67 modules

Murrelektronik's modular Cube20S I/O system expands the field-tested Cube family with another IP20 product line with many features. The compact modules are only 12.9 millimeter wide. Thanks to their modular design they can be easily, quickly and individually connected – the integrated backplane bus connects the modules to power and data.

• Individual, modular design
• Space saving spring clamp terminals
• Safety modules for safe inputs and outputs with the highest possible protection (up to PLe)
• Status LEDs with clear channel assignment
• Response time up to 20 μs
• Highly modular with 2-, 4-, and 8-channel modules
• Up to 64 modules per bus node
• Many module types
• Configuration diagram on the modules

Cube67 is Murrelektronik’s award winning, modular fieldbus system. It can be customized to meet the specific requirements of an installation solution. Cube67 is characterized by its single cable technology, multi function modules, flexible installation methods and robust, potted circuitry. The unique single cable module connection transfers both power and data from a single bus node to connected modules simplifying installation.

• Bus nodes for most of the major protocols
• Up to 32 modules on a single IP address
• Installation lengths of up to 60m
• Star and linear topologies
• Analog, digital and special function modules
• Over 80 different function modules

Machine Option Management (MOM): Machines and systems often differ only in their options. With the Machine Option Management (MOM), hardware and software are confiugured once, based on a stadardized maximum configurration. To simplify setup, the MOM recognizes the option installed and activates the modules required.

IP67 Rated: The unit is dust-tight, tamper-proof and protected against temporary immersion which is defined as spending up to 30 minutes in water that's 1m deep.

Change the bus not the system: Installation concepts based on Cube20 and Cube67 can be easily integrated into higher level fieldbus systems with a single bus node. Machine modules can remain the same across multiple platforms and adapted to different protocols by swapping only the one bus node as needed for a different protocol.

With Impact67, you can implement cost-effective fieldbus solutions with simple, digital signals. The fully potted robust modules are available in a variety of communication protocols. Features include: port mounted LED status indicators, group diagnostics, and IP67 protection.

Murrelektronik's MVK Fusion fieldbus module is an opportunity to standardize modular processes, opening the door to a one-module strategy.

The PROFINET/PROFIsafe module unites three basic functions of installation technology:

• Standard digital sensors and actuators
• Safety digital sensors and actuators
• IO-Link

This combination is new and innovative. It enables unique and groundbreaking automation concepts to be realized. Installation becomes simpler and faster.

MVK Fusion makes complex configurations easier because they can be done entirely by the engineering tool in the safety control system. Software developers and electrical engineers no longer need in-depth knowledge of other manufacturers' tools and manuals.

MVK Fusion makes it possible to have fewer fieldbus modules per unit. Some applications might only require a single module. This opens up new opportunities for many automation applications!

A Wide Range of Uses and Comprehensive Diagnostics

• Rugged metal housing, exceptionally resistant to welding sparks
• Integrated web server that stores errors
• Practical rotary switch to sets safety addresses
• Optional heat sink available for extreme temperatures
• Use at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.)
• Comprehensive diagnostics detect errors quickly

MVK Fusion CIP Safety combines three central functions of installation technology: digital standard sensors and actuators, digital safety-related sensors and actuators and IO-Link. This reduces the number of fieldbus modules required per modular unit, in the best case to just one. Installation is simpler and faster.
