Product selection CabinetLine

The CabinetLine (AL19) IO-Link masters were specially developed for installation in control cabinets. They offer all essential IO-Link functions for the secure connection of sensors and actuators to the controller – space-saving, reliable, and efficient.

The compact solution for the control cabinet

With their slim DIN rail housing, they can be easily integrated into existing control and switching cabinets. The electrical connection is established via classic cage clamp connections (push-in technology) – ideal for industrial environments where field-ready IP67 devices are not required.

Thanks to support for common Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or Modbus TCP, the CabinetLine masters can be easily integrated into existing automation systems. In addition, they provide reliable IO-Link communication for internal system configuration – especially where protection against moisture and dirt is already provided by the control cabinet housing – as well as seamless IoT connectivity.

CabinetLine features

Cage clamps

The CabinetLine IO-Link masters use cage clamps for wiring: simply plug in the wire – that's it. No tools required, no retightening – this saves time and ensures permanently vibration-proof contacts in the control cabinet.

  • Tool-free wiring – simply plug in the wire – that's it.
  • Vibration-proof connection – perfect contact quality even during machine movement.
  • Maintenance-free – no retightening required like with screw terminals.

DIN rail mounting

All devices can be easily snapped onto 35 mm DIN rails (TH35). This is the proven industry standard for fast, tool-free control cabinet installation – stable, flexible, and clearly arranged.

  • Fast installation – easily mounted without drilling or screwing.
  • Space-saving design – ideal for compact control cabinet solutions.
  • Flexible and standardised – fits into any control cabinet with a DIN rail.
