With the MSS-IO, SCHURTER is entering the field of bidirectional communication via switches in industrial automation. The MSS-IO is based on the successful electronic switch SCHURTER MSS, which has been expanded by an IO-Link module.
The MSS-IO switch from SCHURTER is based on wear-free resistance measurement and completely avoids mechanical components. Instead of capacitive technology, a precise change in electrical resistance is used to detect the switch: sensitive enough to detect the smallest pressure changes, robust enough for industrial series processes. State-of-the-art, precise and easy to integrate.
Easy to clean
Thanks to the closed surface, the switch is insensitive to water, dirt and cleaning agents. This is a clear advantage in hygienically sensitive environments such as food processing or laboratory automation. The absence of moving parts minimizes maintenance effort and extends the service life enormously.
IO-Link Interface
The IO-Link interface enables two-way communication, parameterization during operation and real-time diagnostics. The connection is established via standard M12 connectors. Predictive maintenance and easy integration into existing Industry 4.0 environments are guaranteed.
Areas of application
Typical application areas are automation technology, robotics and hygiene-critical applications. The MSS IO-Link switch is particularly suitable for scenarios with high demands on precision, process reliability and digital communication.
