Murrelektronik IO-Link Technology

Murrelektronik offer the right product for your IO-Link Projects.

IO-Link makes installations easy

IO-Link makes the integration of smart devices into installation concepts easy. Murrelektronik's new dream team of IO-Link masters, hubs, and analog converters now goes one step further. They make accessing and evaluating data particularly easy by creating transparency from the device level to the cloud. You’ll find Murrelektronik's team is hard to beat in terms of flexibility, usability, and performance.

Murrelektronik's system is universal. It is ideal for those just getting started with digitalization while being a future-proof IIoT concept. It is just what you need when you need it.

Murrelektronik IO-Link TechnologyIO-Link is the ideal system for integrating all types of signals quickly and easily. Analog, digital I/O or IO-Link? From different manufacturers? It doesn't matter – just connect and get started!  

Creating connections, preferably decentralized and without a control cabinet, has always been Murrelektronik's passion. Therefore, they provide everything you need to network the controller with the device level using IO-Link and, if desired, to digitalize it via a direct connection to the cloud, for both new machines and retrofits.

Universal System

From masters, hubs, converters and devices to connection technology, everything works together and is optimized for the respective application:

  • Pre-configured devices ensure the quickest and easiest start possible, without importing an IODD or using a configuration tool.
  • The autoconfig mode automatically detects whether an input or output has been connected so the process data can be read or written immediately.
  • The IODD on board functionality (PROFINET) simplifies the controller configuration. Configurations are displayed in plain text in the control program making reading a manual a thing of the past.

Switch to IO-Link for shorter commissioning times, lower costs, higher productivity and simplified service/maintenance options.


MATCHMAKER – We get along with anyone and everyone

Standardized processes help when managing the increasing complexity in the manufacturing world and when having to react quickly to changing customer needs. They also do something else… They are the basis for digital transformation. Rethinking development, planning, installation, and manufacturing processes on digital platforms would be inconceivable without standardization.

Murrelektronik's new Pro-Master modules are the ultimate tool when it comes to standardizing machine concepts. They are the "matchmakers" that connect everything to everything, everywhere, and in every language.

One Module for Everything

  • Eight multifunctional ports allow you to connect all signal types while supplying connected devices with up to 4A per port.
  • Three fieldbus protocols and worldwide approvals ensure that the system can be set up the same way - no matter where it ends up being installed.
  • The integrated SMI (Standardized Master Interface) allows data to be accessed via IIoT protocols such as OPC UA, JSON REST API and MQTT. For standardized configuration - independent of the fieldbus and the system!

Grow your economic success via standardization! There is no future without digitalization and no digitalization without standardization.


ON CLOUD NO 9 – The direct path to the cloud

Modern automation concepts and technology are unthinkable without digitalization. More efficient and agile processes, greater machine availability, new business models and Murrelektronik MVK Pro Compact IO-Link Master Modulepermanent data access (for identification, diagnosis and configuration) requires transparent communication from the lowest device level up to the latest generation of mobile and cloud-based applications. Count on Murrelektronik to make end-to-end signal communication in interconnected workflows as easy as possible.

MVK Pro and Impact67 Pro are real workhorses when it comes to the machine and plant digitalization and the management of more and more data in less and less time.

Perfect for IIoT

  • The master modules have integrated sensors that continuously provide channel status data. This feature is extremely valuable for both condition monitoring and predictive maintenance applications.
  • The SMI (Standardized Master Interface) provides numerous data access options. Configurations can be set via the web server, tools, OPC UA server, JSON REST API and MQTT. Data visualization straight out-of-the-box is possible via the web server and JSON REST API

Future proof your system! Create a variety of digitization concepts while achieving economic success with IO-Link and Murrelektronik Pro-Master modules.


Murrelektronik IO-Link Portfolio

IO-Link Master Modules - Compact IO-Link master modules with eight multifunctional master ports are the most intelligent way to connect IO-Link devices. IP67 rated fieldbus modules that can replace complexly wired and expensive terminal boxes are an important component in decentralized instal­lations. Combine these modules with our selection of IO-Link hubs and analog converters to increase your flexibility while minimizing hardware costs.

In addition to pure process data (I/Os), the new Pro modules also provide secondary extended diagnostic data (voltage, current and temperature values) for both the respective ports as well as the entire module. This allows anomalies to be detected and the actual process to be optimized via data analysis. With OPC UA, this can be done without a controller using a standard protocol.

Murrelektronik MVP8 IO-Link HubIO-Link Hubs - With Murrelektronik’s IO-Link hubs, you can easily connect multiple digital sensors and actuators to a single IO-Link master port using a standard cordset. These new, multifunctional DIO models with up to 16 channels give you maximum flexibility. When used in combination with Murrelektronik’s IO-Link masters, MVK Pro and IMPACT67 Pro, MVP8 and MVP12 help to minimize machine/system downtimes. Individual channel diagnostics are automatically transmitted to the control system - no configuration required. If an error occurs, only the affected channel of the hub is switched off.

Murrelektronik IO-Link Devices - From power supplies to signal lights and analog converters, we offer numerous devices with a built-in IO-Link interface.

Power Supplies - Emparro67 power supplies are designed for field applications.  They significantly lower energy costs and allow for smaller control cabinets.

Signal Lights - The bright LEDs in Murrelektronik's lighting elements are energy efficient and maintenance-free.

IO-Link Analog Converters - With IO-Link converters, you can easily connect analog sensors with actuators to IO-Link masters.


Murrelektronik Connection Technology

Murrelektronik Connection Technology Cables and CordsetsMurrelektronik is your one stop provider of machine installation components.  Murrelektronik offers more than 75,000 different cordsets for signals, data, and power - the largest variety on the market.  IO-Link connections use one of three different connector types:

Signals - 4 or 5-pole A-coded M12 cordsets connect devices to IO-Link masters.

Data - D-coded M12 cables provide Ethernet communication between the IO-Link masters and the higher-level control system.

Power - L-coded M12 cables supply IO-Link masters with up to 16A per pin.  They have the highest power density in one of the smallest spaces.
