A new generation for flexible automation
The IO-Link masters of the AutomationLine (AL16 series) represent a new generation of decentralised automation solutions for industrial applications.
They combine high performance with flexible integration and cost efficiency.
With 8 freely configurable IO-Link ports (class A/B), up to 16 digital inputs and outputs, and multiprotocol support, they enable scalable automation solutions while reducing engineering effort.
Flexible I/O configuration
8 IO-Link ports (class A/B) with individually configurable inputs and outputs – up to 16 DI and 16 DO can be flexibly configured.
High current rating
Control of actuators with up to 2 A per connection – ideal for high‑power field devices.
Multiprotocol-capable
Integrated fieldbus interface for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP – ideal for standardised machine concepts.
Cost‑efficient housing design
Optimised manufacturing technology provides a cost‑effective solution without compromising on functionality.
Robust IP67 design
Glass‑fibre reinforced housing, fully potted printed circuit board and operating temperature range of -40…70 °C – designed for demanding industrial environments.

AutomationLine features
Flexible ports
AutomationLine offers 8 identical class A/B ports, simplifying the connection concept.
Thanks to the common ground concept (GND US = UA), pins 2 and 4 can be flexibly configured and used for all types of IO-Link devices as well as DI (US) / DO (UA). This allows the port configuration to be individually adapted to the specific application.
- Maximum flexibility in configuration
- Reduced variety of articles
New, robust industrial housing design
AutomationLine features a completely new black housing design for decentralised field use in industrial environments. The cost‑efficient housing made of glass‑fibre reinforced plastic provides high mechanical strength.
The lower part of the housing is formed by direct potting of the printed circuit board. This process ensures permanent sealing and a housing free of cavities. The ports are integrated directly into the housing shell, resulting in a compact, protected design with a clear structure and high robustness.
- Cost efficiency through a new housing
- High shock and vibration resistance for industrial applications
- Robust and durable design for continuous use in the field
- Compact design with integrated IO-Link port structure
