E-BOX IO-LINK: The decentralised operating unit for simple control tasks with IO-Link interface
With two innovative product families, RAFI is also taking advantage of the benefits offered by the IO-Link interface in terms of particularly simple network integration and device configuration: With the E-BOX IO-LINK, for example, the HMI specialist is providing a new version of its field-compatible pushbutton boxes for decentralised operation of simple control tasks, which can be integrated into any fieldbus via its IO-Link interface. Thanks to the M12 connection, the operating unit, which combines two illuminated pushbuttons from the RAFIX 22 FS+ range of control devices in an extremely slim IP65 housing, can be easily installed and commissioned even by untrained personnel. The IO-Link device identification prevents incorrect installation, as incorrectly installed devices are reported to the control system. The illuminated pushbuttons of the E-BOX, which have a concise tactile feedback thanks to the integrated MICON 5 short-travel pushbutton, can be customised remotely with a variety of functions via IO-Link. These include a night mode with different brightness levels and free colour selection of the pushbutton illumination in five standard or three individually adjustable RGB colours from a colour space with 16 million different colours. In addition, the push-buttons can be configured with four different flashing modes for different applications. The multiple parameterisation options for push-button colours, brightness and flashing modes reduce the effort required for stock-keeping, as the E-BOX IO-LINK can be easily configured for different requirements via the control system. RAFI supplies printed or unprinted FLEXLAB labelling sheets for individual labelling of the pushbuttons. With their compact dimensions of 123.2 mm x 40 mm x 35.6 mm, the control units are ideal for mounting on 40 mm wide profile rails of production equipment or safety fences. For mounting in profile rail grooves and on flat mounting surfaces, a mounting clip included in the scope of delivery is used, onto which the E-BOX is simply snapped.

TILTED DIAMOND+ IO-LINK: A wide range of signal effects in an upmarket design with IO-Link interface
At the same time as the new E-BOX, RAFI is launching an IO-LINK version of its LED signal lamps from the TILTED DIAMOND+ series, which allows very simple and quick setup thanks to M12 connection and IO-Link parameterisation. In addition to freely configurable night settings and luminaire colours of its RGB LED, the TILTED DIAMOND+ IO-LINK has eight different flashing modes with which specific alarms or machine states can be signalled, for example, by flashing, blinking or pulsating light. The signal luminaires with IP66 protection are characterised by their special brightness, resistance to vibrations, freedom from maintenance and their unusual dome-shaped aperture design. Thanks to the diamond-shaped lenses arranged all around, the bezels achieve excellent illumination, clear signal colours and best visibility over long distances. In addition to mounting feet, the accessories also include mounting tubes in various lengths and shapes.
