Belden, a leading global supplier of network infrastructure and digitization solutions, announced the expansion of the Lumberg Automation LioN family with its new LioN-Safety I/O Modules. Designed to support functional safety efforts in industrial operations, the modules streamline the transmission of safety and non-safety-related data over existing networks.
The new LioN-Safety I/O Modules support the PROFIsafe and CIP Safety protocols, with the latter expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2024, and give manufacturers a compact, ruggedized product uniquely designed to support the real-time data transmission required in highly automated operations. The solution enables the exchange of safety-relevant data and diagnostic information through existing network connections by integrating into PLC engineering tools with PROFIsafe or CIP Safety via standardized device description files that transmit safety data and diagnostics.
The new modules can be used to connect safety inputs/outputs, non-safety I/Os, and IO-Link signals as well as for cloud communications. The PROFINET/PROFIsafe I/O modules can be used in applications with conformance class C and Netload class III or CIP Safety, and benefit from TÜV Rheinland-certification up to SIL 3, Cat 4, and Performance Level e (PLe).
