NFD-BRIDGE-IOLSA\W
netFIELD IO-Link Wireless Bridge Class A

netFIELD IO-Link Wireless Bridge – integrates your sensors and actuators
  • Enables wireless technology for IO-Link Devices

  • Compatible with IO-Link standards of comparable performance

  • Firmware update over-the-air

  • Scan mode, simple pairing of IO-Link Devices

  • Wireless range of point-to-point communication up to 10 m

  • Robust IP67 design - No ingress of dust or water

Hilscher’s IO-Link technology platform netFIELD Device connects simple as well as complex sensors and actuators seamlessly in industrial Real-Time Ethernet networks.

The introduction of the innovative IO-Link Wireless communication significantly extends the scope of application of netFIELD Device. This opens machine builders and plant operators new possibilities to collect sensor data and monitor their plants.

The netFIELD Device IO-Link Wireless Class A Bridge is the counterpart of Hilscher’s IO-Link master and is directly connected to the respective sensors. The small coupling device for radio communication only needs a 24 V power connection to enable a fast and reliable wireless communication.

Hilscher’s netFIELD Devices need not be installed in control cabinets because they are IP67-rated and, thus, protected against the ingress of dust and water.

NFD-BRIDGE-IOLSA\W supports the following protocols:
  • IO-Link Master
  • IO-Link Wireless Device
