Banner launched 1️⃣ 2️⃣ new connectivity products in 2023! Here are just a few:

Maximize uptime of AC-powered equipment by continuously monitoring current with Banner's new Rogowski Coil Current Sensors. An easy-open flexible loop and compact housing simplifies installation without removing wires or other conductors so the sensors can be quickly added to existing applications, even in tight spaces.

Banner's new R95C 8-port Analog Input to IO-Link Hub simplifies adding analog devices to an IO-Link system. It takes up to eight analog signal inputs (either current or voltage) and consolidates them into one IO-Link data stream.

Banner now offers a line of pre-configured Snap Signal S15C converters with dedicated current transformers. Each model includes a transformer, a cord with quick-release M12 connector, and an S15 converter to transform the signal to Modbus.

Quickly and easily protect valuable equipment from excess current with S15J plug-and-play in-line fuses. The rugged housing allows for use in harsh environments with other series components, and the visual feedback system provides quick status updates at a glance.
