Bürkert I/O modules (In/Out) Type ME64 for extending the Industrial Ethernet
gateway Type ME63 are designed to capture the switching signals of various
sensors. The further processing of these input signals, e.g. by Ethernet protocol
to a higher field level, is configured via the gateway. The 16DI module
(16 digital inputs) can be used for the feedback from switches (limit switches,
position switches, etc.). The captured signals are connected and transmitted
to the gateway via a CANopen-based bus. Together with valve island components,
such as Type 8653 AirLINE Field (pneumatic control of process valves)
or process valve controls such as Type 8691, ME64 can be used to capture
and evaluate feedback locally within waterproof environments. Via the central
configuration management of the gateway, Type ME64, as the client, can
be simply replaced with a new module, if required. Electronic modules Type
ME63 and Type ME64 are part of the Bürkert EDIP (Efficient Device Integration
Platform) concept. They facilitate the integration of field level devices
(e.g. valves or sensors) in the higher control level. The modules complement
Bürkert EDIP systems.
