Digital transformation, Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and Industry 4.0. These are just a few of the recurring themes that dominate when discussing advancing technology for industrial automation.
As a manufacturer or machine builder, the question is how to translate these themes into effective solutions that could benefit your current automation processes. According to Korina Parker, marketing manager at Murrelektronik UK, the company is focused on providing workable solutions for these advances in automation technology that are easy to integrate and have long-lasting advantages
A DECENTRALIZED SOLUTION “We believe that the future will be completely cabinet-free, and so decentralized solutions are a core aspect of our technology. Going cabinet free is often perceived as a radical overhaul of a complete system, but this is not the case. Murrelektronik’s range of decentralized solutions have been designed to offer maximum flexibility and ease of integration,” commented Korina Parker. Murrelektronik offers solutions – including fieldbus modules, switches, power supplies, IO-Link, cables and connectors – that all work together to make automation easier and simpler. When needed, application engineers are available to assist with planning, design, test and integration into your existing systems. Saving installation and design time will, in turn, save money and resources.
IO-LINK MADE EASY IO-Link is an industrial communication protocol that connects sensors and actuators to high-level controllers. As a gateway to smart manufacturing, IO-Link allows for all types of data (service/process/event) to be transferred at high speed to and from
controllers and devices. This means more efficient and agile processes, greater machine availability and permanent data access for identification, diagnosis and configuration. “The IO-Link Pro system is a universal
installation system, perfect as a starting point for digitalization and, at the same time, delivering a future-proof IIoT concept. Advantages include easy integration of smart devices, transparency from the device level to the cloud, and easy access to data for analysis,” explained Parker. “IO-Link masters, hubs and analog converters

can either be integrated into your existing system or be the core of a new system or machine. Another great advantage is that our Application Engineers are specially trained in IO-Link technology, helping you to plan and install IO-Link and make end-to-end signal communication as easy as possible,” she continued.
