In collaboration with Bihl+Wiedemann, "TBPN" was created - a safety block I/O module that combines standard and safe inputs/outputs in one device. The hybrid Profinet/Profisafe module in IP67 can be flexibly adapted to the signal requirements of any machine. On the safety side of the Profinet/Profisafe module, there are two safe inputs for connecting different safety sensors such as light curtains or emergency stop buttons. Users can choose to use two further safe channels as inputs or outputs. The four universal inputs/outputs for connecting non-safety-related signals can each switch up to 2 A. Two of the I/Os can also be configured as IO-Link masters. In combination with Turck's I/O hubs, the user can connect up to 32 additional I/Os to the module in this way.
Both the standard channels and an IO-Link channel of the TBPN can be switched off internally in a safety-oriented manner, which simplifies the switching and wiring of auxiliary drives and valve terminals. The safety module was developed for an extended temperature range of -40 to +70 °C.
