Turck, Inc. expands its line of DeviceNet I/O stations with the addition of FDN20 high density I/O stations for IP 20 applications that are capable of supporting up to 32 inputs or 16 dedicated inputs and 16 input/outputs on a DeviceNet network. These devices separate the I/O into three isolated groups that can be powered by an external source or by the DeviceNet bus. The outputs are short circuit protected up to 0.5A on the 16 dedicated input and 16 input/output station. They use a glass-filled nylon housing with an integrated DIN-rail mount, and they provide an IP 20 protection rating. These features, coupled with its small size, make the stations flexible for upgrading existing panels in the automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical and material handling industries.
