The new BL67 system I/O solution combines all the flexibility of cabinet PLC I/O systems with modularity, ruggedness, and connectorization. The BL67 product family complements existing AIM, BL20, and piconet products to meet the needs of applications such as small machine or conveyor systems requiring IP67 protection. The BL67 system is made up of a gateway, base modules, and electronic modules. The I/O modules are not dependent on the fieldbus protocol. The gateway coordinates the entire I/O data exchange and generates detailed diagnostic information for the control platform. Gateways are currently available for DeviceNet and PROFIBUS-DP. The BL67 system also offers group, connector, channel, and module diagnostic information.
