Does Balluff have modules for welding environments?

Anti-welding modules, welding, and welding spatter

We have welding spatter resistant I/O modules with 8 IO-LINK ports and an expandable IO-LINK I/O hub.
These network modules and I/O hubs specially designed with high noise immunity and built with high-end fiberglass reinforced composites.1

New standard for I/O in welding environments:
New family of networking modules optimized for extremely noisy electrical environments, such as welding. This family of network modules are constructed with fiberglass reinforced composite (polypropylene sulfide) that inherently resists weld spatter while effectively combats grounding loops and electromagnetic interferences (EMI).

These Weldblocks promote machine mount distributed modular architecture with IO-Link. The network node with IO-Link master on the Weldblock communicates over EtherNet/IP with the PLC or the controller of the machine, while the IO-Link ports can be connected to a variety of IO-Link enabled smart devices or I/O hubs.

The Weldblock family includes expandable IO-Link I/O hubs to offer up to 240 configurable I/O per network node. Weldblocks from Balluff are equipped with a built-in enhanced web server and port diagnostics to ensure quick troubleshooting.
