The OEM Micro-Hub IO-Link, type MMH-IO, from Müller Industrie-Elektronik is a compact, industrial-grade interface module that combines eight digital I/O channels in a standardized IO-Link signal
With a power consumption of only approx. 10 mA in the electronics area, an ISO-compliant IO-Link interface COM3 (230.4 kBd/s), and a fast boot process of less than 300 ms, the device is ideal for embedded OEM applications.
Technically, the Micro-Hub offers programmable digital inputs/outputs that communicate via IO-Link to standard PLCs or higher-level controllers. The device thus supports a standardized, fieldbus-independent connection for sensors or actuators – even in OEM scenarios with tight space requirements.
With its minimalist design, the MMH-IO is ideal for seamless integration into customer-specific electronics or sensor modules, even in its own housing. A classic example of Müller Industrie-Elektronik's modular OEM electronics strategy in action.
This product strategy relies on flexible, modular IO-Link modules to enable cost-efficient, digital communication down to the sensor/actuator level in industrial applications in the age of Industry 4.0.
The MMH-IO helps to transmit digital signals without loss and enhances them with diagnostic information such as device ID or status data. Typical for IO-Link advantages such as field-level communication, digital parameterization, and simple device identification.
The OEM Micro-Hub IO-Link, type MMH-IO, is a universal, robust, and compact IO-Link module for OEM integrations. It enables fast connection of digital inputs/outputs, offers high reliability in industrial environments, and is particularly suitable for embedded applications without space for additional interfaces.
