Turck Banner extends its modular remote I/O system, BL20, with new analog electronic modules. The new two-channel input/output cards are Hart-compatible and allow users to establish a digital fieldbus communication based on pre-existing 4…20mA connections. Thanks to the new modules, users can easily link their analog field devices to the PLC and integrate them into a consistent asset management based on the FDT/DTM technology.

Expanding its remote I/O system with new analog I/O modules meets the definitive demand for efficient I/O solutions for non-explosive environments within the field of process automation. The new Hart modules allow the interference-free transmission of additional data from the field level via modulated digital signals – whether being used for the remote maintenance of valve gears, for logging temperature data or for the bidirectional communication between a PLC and actuators.
