MVK FUSION …is an opportunity to standardize modular processes, opening the door to a one-module strategy IO-Link button systems IO-Link inductive couplers IO-Link 03 The PROFINET/PROFIsafe module unites three basic functions of installation technology: 01 Standard digital sensors and actuators 02 Safety digital sensors and actuators 03 IO-Link Safety valves 02 Safety 01 Standard IO 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! What makes the MVK Fusion field- bus module unique is its variety. It combines three basic functions: standard digital sensors and actuators, safety digital sensors and actuators and IO-Link. • The two standard digital ports can be config- ured as inputs or outputs – they are customiz- able for each application. • The four safety ports ensure that almost all digital safety requirements are integrated into the installation. • The two IO-Link ports offer a wide range of functions: they integrate smart devices into the fieldbus system and they also enable the sys- tem to be expanded cost-effectively via IO-Link hubs. MVK Fusion simplifies installation by minimizing the number of modules required. Safety door systems IO-Link hubs IO-Link distance sensors IO-Link pressure sensors This combination is new and innovative. It enables unique and groundbreaking automation concepts to be realized. Installation becomes simpler and faster. One Module with Extreme Range IO-Link valve islands Flexibility within Safety Applications MVK Fusion integrates all safety aspects into one module: • Safety sensors signals are transmitted over the three safe input ports, each of which have two channels. Emergency stop buttons, light cur- tains, two-handed units, safety doors, etc. can be qualified up to Performance Level e. • The safety output port has two safe outputs that can be configured according to the ap- plication (PP, PM or PPM switching). You can integrate a wide variety of actuator types like double valves and valve islands that still qualify up to Performance Level e. • A special Class B IO-Link port ensures that IO- Link devices like valve islands and hubs can be easily and safely switched-off complying with safety standards up to Performance Level d. MVK Fusion lets you achieve high safety standards, protecting both man and machine. Electromechanical safety switches IO-Link transponder systems Two-handed devices Safety Configuration within a Mouse Click MVK Fusion makes configuring safety sensors and actuators ex- tremely easy: select the safety function in the safety control system engineering tool, and within a few mouse clicks configuration is done. The users – usually the software developer or the electrical engineer – do not require any special know ledge to configure the module. The MVK Fusion module eliminates the extra verification work step (CRC calculation) and doesn’t require additional manufacturer-specific software. This speeds up the process because it prevents entry of incorrect data. High Performance MVK Fusion is excellent for high power applications when reliability cannot be compromised. The module is one hundred percent compatible with PROFINET solutions. MVK Fusion is suitable for Conformance Class C (IRT), Shared Device and Netload Class III applications.
