Switch into Industry 4.0 – Configurable. Bright. Capacitive Switches.

The IO-Link Touch is a freely configurable, bright and capacitive IP69K sealed switch suitable for use in machinery and industrial automation

With the advance of digitisation, machine manufacturers can develop completely new machines and equipment. However, to reap the benefits of digitisation, machine manufacturers must overcome demanding challenges, for instance in terms of system complexity or the enormous investment of time and money required to digitally transform their analogue machines. With the Series 84 IO-Link Touch, digital machine systems can be equipped and operated with HMIs easily and rapidly.

Application-specific HMI variants. With its three HMI variants – standard, plastic stainless steel 316L and an EHEDG food factory certified hygiene version – the IO-Link Touch range offers actuators with illuminated symbols that are ideal for a wide range of industries.

Simply digitally networked. Thanks to the globally recognised IO-Link communication interface and programmable connection options, the switches can be networked with an advanced machine system via an integrated M12 5-pin screw connection with a mounting depth of just 25.8 mm, making your equipment Industry 4.0-compatible.

Freely configurable HMIs. The many potential uses for the HMIs are based on a freely selectable configuration which can be precisely aligned to the respective application – from RGB illumination, to symbols, to the switching function. For example, the illumination can switch on with a deliberate delay when actuated. Or HMI operational readiness can be signalled by green illumination which changes to red a few seconds later. The configuration remains stored on the HMI even with no power supplied.
