BlueLine Machine Interfaces
Important components of a measuring system are the interfaces. Our BlueLine interfaces I/O Master and I/O Expander are easily installed in the control cabinet and connected to the machine controller.
All control signals as well as all warning, intervention and alarm signals for reject separation are transmitted by the control system via a single hybrid bus cable. Our interfaces are modular and can be plugged together on a top-hat rail.
I/O Master Type 8980C
The I/O Master type 8980C is a basic module within the BlueLine system with digital inputs and outputs. Its main task is to transmit control signals between the injection molding machine and the BlueLine system.
All outputs of the I/O Master are short-circuit and overvoltage-proof and also protected against reverse polarity. Thanks to the two-color LEDs, the status of the inputs and outputs can be checked at a glance at any time.

I/O Expander Type 8981A
The I/O Expander type 8981A is an expansion module within the BlueLine system with digital inputs and outputs. Its main task is to transmit control signals between the injection molding machine and the BlueLine system.
All outputs are short-circuit and overvoltage-proof and also protected against reverse polarity. Thanks to the two-color LEDs, the status of the inputs and outputs can be checked at a glance at any time.

Bus Interface Type 8982A
The BlueLine Bus Interface type 8982A is used to connect an I/O module series consisting of an I/O Master and one or more I/O Expanders. The modules are then connected to each other using a separately available hybrid bus cable.
I/O Master and I/O Expander modules are coupled directly, i. e. without cables, on a top hat rail bus. The bus interface is used to connect offset or more distant modules to the hybrid bus cable.

External interfaces types 8980C-E & 8981A-E
External interfaces are available for mounting the BlueLine I/O Master and I/O Expander outside the control cabinet. A single I/O Master or I/O Expander is supplied in external housing with a plug connection. Thanks to the compact design, up to 16 switching signals can be processed.
External interfaces types 8984A & 8985A
The external interface types 8984A and 8985A are control cabinets with visible doors which have been equipped with BlueLine interfaces.
Type 8984A has a BlueLine I/O Master and can be optionally expanded with one to four BlueLine I/O Expanders. Up to a maximum of 64 switching signals (e.g. valve gate nozzles) can therefore be processed.
Type 8985A also has a BlueLine I/O Master but can be optionally expanded with one to six BlueLine I/O expanders. Up to a maximum of 96 switching signals (e.g. valve gate nozzles) can therefore be processed.
