Connecting the pneumatic circuit- tried and tested pneumatics upgraded with smart IO-Link technology
Benefits of connecting pneumatics to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
As connectivity becomes increasingly common in everyday life, growing numbers of manufacturers are upgrading their machinery to become part of the IIoT. IO-Link is the ideal solution for cost-effective, more efficient and reliable production, enabling seamless communication and a powerful infrastructure to manage data through the manufacturing process. Intelligent devices can be used to their full potential with IO-Link, paving the way for Industry 4.0 in Industrial Automation. Norgren offers a complete, connected IO-Link system solution, which includes a wide range of IO-Link enabled devices, as well as an IO-Link master and I/O modules (hubs).
Improved efficiency
IO-Link technology seamlessly automates and monitors the function of your pneumatic system, pinpointing inefficiencies to be quickly resolved.
Optimized productivity
Real-time monitoring of your pneumatic circuit provides you with data and diagnostics to help make improved operational decisions.
Reduced downtime
Data from sensors can facilitate predictive and planned maintenance, notifying you of repairs or maintenance before it puts a stop to production.

VR Series Valve Manifolds
Flexibility and modularity have reached new levels with the Norgren VR valve manifold range. A simple plug-in, sub-base style design allows for valves to be easily exchanged for easy installation and maintenance. Expanding the size and functionality of your valve manifold to match the changing demands of your application is a simple “plug and play” experience - available with the latest communication protocol options: PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, IO-Link Slave, Multipole.
Connected
Parameter Adjustment via front screen Buttons or Accessed Via IO-Link.
Easy to configure
Our Valve Manifold configurator has been designed to make product selection as easy and straightforward as possible.
Long life
Over 30 million cycles.
IO-Link masters & modules
Analogue devices can also be connected to a digital network to provide information. Input/output (I/O) blocks can translate input and output from an analogue device into data. These can be connected to an IO-Link master, which, in turn, acts as a gateway, so that enabled devices – such as sensors, valves, and I/O blocks translating for an analogue device – can connect to an Ethernet system. Machine data, process parameters and diagnostic data is accessible for immediate action or long-term analysis via an industrial information system (PLC, HMI, etc.)
Connected
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP.
Expandable
I/O Modules (Hubs) can be easily added – acting as an IO-Link device.
Diagnostics
Pinpoint faults in the whole network quickly and precisely.
M/50 solid state switch
A magnetically operated solid state switch with standardized IO-Link capability, fully compatible with all Norgren actuator ranges for an intelligent automation structure. Standardized IO-Link technology allows actuators and sensors to become intelligently integrated into any process chain. The M/50/IOP switch delivers end-to-end communication and monitoring of temperature and operating mode, as well as a cycle counter.
One switch fits all
Compatible with all Norgren actuators.
Visual installation aid
From flashing to permanent LED.
Smart functionality
Detection counter and temperature measurement.
34D and 54D pressure sensors
Offering benefits in accuracy, life span and functionality, our ranges enable users to react quickly and effectively to changing requirements through in-built intelligence. Pressure set points are programmable either manually or remotely via IO-Link, with high levels of visibility via LED lights and digital displays. Electronic pressure sensors are particularly useful in applications where the classic mechanical pressure switch is not suitable.
Connected
IO-Link capability allows remote set-up and access to application performance data for improved system monitoring.
Easy to use
Large, two color programmable display to easily identify switching status.
Accurate
High accuracy of up to ± 0.5% of span.
