August 15, 2007 - Minneapolis, Minn. — TURCK Inc. is expanding its line of DeviceNet™ I/O stations with the addition of FDN20 high density I/O stations for IP 20 applications. These stations are capable of supporting up to 32 inputs or 16 dedicated inputs and 16 input/outputs on a DeviceNet network. FDN20 devices separate the I/O into three isolated groups that may be powered by an external source or by the DeviceNet bus.
The outputs are short circuit protected up to 0.5 Amps on the 16 dedicated input and 16 input/output station. FDN20 devices use glass-filled nylon housing with an integrated DIN-rail mount, and they provide an IP 20 protection rating. These features, coupled with the devices’ small size, make FDN20 stations flexible for upgrading existing panels in the automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical and material handling industries. TURCK is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity and network products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
