Emergency stops Smart IO-Link sensors Double safety valves Key and selector switches Foot switches IO-Link analog converters DC motors Solenoid interlocks Door switch IO-Link inductive sensors Valves Safety command devices Only One Module per Mechatronic Component With our fieldbus module MVK Fusion, we’re advancing the standardization of modular processes for the users. This makes it possible to realize new and groundbreaking concepts for the auto- mation industry. Installations will be- come easier and quicker. Hopefully, only one module per compo- nent will be needed. IO-Link temperature sensors Enabling switches Michael Greiner, Senior Product Manager IO-Link grippers Laser scanners Digital sensors Light curtains Control solenoid for guard locking A Wide Range of Uses and Comprehensive Diagnostics Rugged, fully-molded metal housing made for a wide range of uses – like extreme welding applications. The safety address is set directly on the module via rotary switch – MVK Fusion can also be resto- red to its default setting via the address 000. MVK Fusion saves error information with a time stamp on an integrated web server, even in the event of power failure, helping you identify errors and reduce downtimes. Unique to the market, the module can be used in at very high altitudes: up to 3,000 meters (10,000 feet). The module functions at high outdoor tempera- tures (up to 60° C) in combination with high cur- rents (up to 16 A). We offer an optional heat sink is for these extreme conditions, which extends the life of the module. Every single channel is monitored for problems like overloads, sensor shorts or short circuits – the comprehensive diagnostics detect errors quickly, so they can be analyzed and fixed. THAT’S COOL! When it’s hot outside (tempera- tures up to 60° C) or if the module is under high current (up to 16 A), it’s possible to mount the MVK Fusion module onto a heat sink so that the module will continue running under extreme conditions.
