# Does Balluff have an IO-link module with an M8 interface?

## Balluff's IO-Link product types

Shielded cables and interface cards all run up your field installation costs.

Help is here with IO-Link sensor/actuator hubs with M8 connectivity. These modules save you around 30 % in hardware costs compared to traditional fieldbus devices.

 

![IO-LINK方案1](https://kb.innovatingautomation.asia/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Simplified%20Chinese/Image/%E7%BD%91%E7%BB%9C%E6%A8%A1%E5%9D%97/IO-LINK%E6%96%B9%E6%A1%881.png?width=410&name=IO-LINK%E6%96%B9%E6%A1%881.png)

 

If you consider the additional savings from bus and power supply cables, the cost savings are as high as 40%. This is because one economical M12 standard sensor cable is all you need for connecting to the IO-Link master.

Another advantage of all IO-Link hubs: you need only one bus address to variably collect sensor signals from up to 20 meters away.
