The Applications

1. Precise Valve Control in Water Treatment Plants

In modern water treatment systems, accurate valve positioning is crucial for regulating flow and pressure. The AXL E IOL AO1 U M12 S converts IO-Link data into a smooth 0–10 V signal, enabling digital controllers to operate traditional analog valves. With 12-bit resolution and diagnostic feedback, it delivers stable control even under fluctuating load conditions. The IP65/IP67-rated body and M12 connectors withstand moisture and vibration, allowing installation close to field devices to minimize signal interference and cabling distance.

2. Automated Cylinder Control in High-Speed Packaging Lines

Packaging machinery often relies on pneumatic actuators that respond to analog voltage control. By integrating this IO-Link to analog converter, digital control units can fine-tune actuator positions without the need for extra analog I/O modules. Its quick diagnostic response reduces downtime by detecting wiring errors or short circuits early. The compact size and threaded M12 connection allow easy mounting directly near moving equipment, improving control accuracy and mechanical responsiveness in rapid production cycles.

3. Motor Speed Regulation in Conveyor Automation

Conveyor systems frequently use DC motor drives that interpret analog voltage as speed commands. This converter acts as a bridge between modern IO-Link masters and legacy motor controllers, providing a stable 0–10 V output for precise speed adjustment. Its 12-bit conversion ensures consistent motion control, while short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection prevent equipment damage. The device’s compact form factor simplifies retrofitting, reducing cabling needs and ensuring smooth integration into existing industrial automation setups.

4. Temperature and Airflow Control in Industrial HVAC Systems

In factory HVAC installations, analog voltage signals are commonly used to control dampers, fans, and temperature regulators. The AXL E IOL AO1 U M12 S enables new digital IO-Link systems to communicate with these analog components effortlessly. Built-in diagnostics monitor actuator performance and signal quality, ensuring stable operation over time. Its robust design allows mounting close to control points, reducing noise and improving signal accuracy—ideal for maintaining consistent climate conditions in sensitive production areas.
