Banner Engineering K50 Pro Indicators w/ IO-Link and PICK-IQ

The K50 Pro Series of devices from Banner Engineering has expanded to include additional communication capabilities with IO-Link and PICK-IQ ® and optical and mechanical actuation. Each of these 50mm multicolor RGB devices are now available with either IO-Link communication for advanced animation customization or PICK-IQ for faster response speeds over a Modbus network. As a family, the K50 Pro Series increases production efficiency. These devices simplify ordering and design through reliable performance in harsh environments, along with having a variety of color and animation options that enable more intuitive indication.

Key Benefits

Updated Models - The K50 Pro Series multicolor indicator combines existing IO-Link features with PICK-IQ technology. It allows users to configure color, flashing, dimming, and advanced animations like rotation, strobing, 2-color display, 2-color rotation, 2-color flashing, and chase.

The K50 Pro Series capacitive touch button combines existing IO-Link features with PICK-IQ technology. It can be actuated with bare hands or gloves and has adjustable sensitivity levels. Additionally, it has excellent immunity to false triggering by water spray, oils and other foreign materials.

New Models - The K50 Pro Series optical model has an illuminated dome to make it easy to see job light status. Users can customize or select standard function configurations. The K50 Pro optical features either IO-Link or PICK-IQ models. Pro Editor software is not currently available.

The K50 Pro Series push-button gives users tactile confirmation that the button has been pushed, compared to relying exclusively on the visual confirmation from the indicator. It is rugged, miniaturized, and an easy-to-install solution to aid in error-proofing and lean manufacturing. The K50 Pro push-button device features IO-Link and PICK-IQ models. Pro Editor software is not currently available.

New Features

IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master and a light. There are many advantages of an IO-Link system, including standardized and reduced wiring, increased data availability, remote configuration and monitoring, simple device replacement, and advanced diagnostics. Together, these capabilities result in overall reduced costs, increased process efficiency, and improved machine availability.

PICK-IQ brings faster response speed and simplified programming to Modbus RTU communication. It gives full access to color, flashing, rotating, and dimming settings as well as advanced animations such as dynamic sequence mode and LED control. Output settings, including on and off delays, output function, and output state are also available with PICK-IQ. Using PICK-IQ adds a simple change to the devices that allow the Modbus master controller to run standard Modbus protocol, but achieve the performance required by a medium to large sized pick-to-light system.

Applications

• Processing and packaging machinery
• Automatic labelers

Banner Engineering WLS27 Programmable LED Strip Light

Banner is expanding its offering of the WLS27 Series Strip Light to include programmable models with RGBW LEDs for use in indication, illumination and inspection applications. These new models are programmable with either Banner’s Pro Editor software or IO-Link communication. With quality white light, sealed, chemical resistant housing, and a wide variety of colors and animation possibilities, the WLS27 Pro Series LED Strip Light can be used in numerous applications across many industries.

Easy Configuration with Either IO-Link or the Pro Editor Software 
The new WLS27 Pro comes in either IO-Link or discretely-controlled Pro Editor compatible models. Banner’s Pro Editor software allows users to program device status, colors and animations for control via three discrete inputs. Benefits of Pro Editor include:

• Color and animation options allow for more intuitive indication in the visual factory
• Gain control of your supply chain and delivery through model standardization
• Display advanced functions like distance, time and count without a controller

The IO-Link models allow for dynamic control—reacting to inputs from other devices—and have additional modes beyond what is available with the discrete models. IO-Link enables users to change device parameters from the control system as needed, such as during product changeover, which reduces downtime and allows machines to accommodate greater product diversity. Benefits of IO-Link include:

• Individual control of LEDs for fully customized operation
• Use available ports to provide illumination and dimming without added hardware
• Dynamic illumination and indication based on changing statuses

Calibrated Color and Advanced Animations for Challenging Applications
The bright, high-quality light output of the WLS27 Pro makes it an ideal solution for illumination. Its RGBW LEDs give clean, flicker-free white light versus competitive models that create a mixed white from only RGB LEDs. The WLS27 Pro features a total of nineteen different shades - thirteen colors plus six whites. This work light can be programmed to bright white light for safety or efficiency during normal operation, and then change color to indicate other machine statuses, such as red for a stop condition. Additionally, advanced statuses allow the WLS27 Pro to indicate alarm states, show temperature, display position information, count for process verification, and display takt time. 

Reliable Performance in Harsh Environments 
The rugged IP69K design provides reliable indication in a wide variety of conditions, including harsh washdown, machining and outdoor environments. The sealed lights are constructed with sturdy aluminum frames in a shatterproof copolyester housing, making them resistant to wet environments, impact, and breakage.

Illumination + Indication with EZ-STATUS® 
The WLS27 Pro offers illumination and multiple indication capabilities in a single device with EZ-STATUS® to simplify installation and improve ergonomics. EZ-STATUS® promotes faster response to status changes and reduces the risk of costly mistakes and accidents. Use its bright white light for illumination or colors for broad status information or maintain white illumination in the center of the light and convey status through colored ends.
