In today’s automation environments, cabling complexity is growing rapidly – increasing the risk of errors and lack of clarity. CONEC IO system junction boxes offer a structured solution for managing input and output signals, reducing installation time and improving cabinet organization.
CONEC IO boxes adapt seamlessly to a wide range of applications. Depending on your needs, choose between active boxes with integrated electronics for direct communication via fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet, or passive boxes for fast and simple signal distribution.
CONEC Active Junction Boxes – Field Order, Process Efficiency
Our active boxes connect sensors and actuators directly to modern control systems – fast, flexible, and decentralized. They support standard protocols like PROFINET, EtherCAT, and IO-Link, and integrate easily into existing automation setups. Available as master or slave variants:
- Master boxes provide direct access to IO-Link devices.
- Slave boxes collect signals and reliably forward them to the controller.
PROFINET – Easy Integration, Efficient Automation
CONEC boxes with PROFINET protocol allow simple integration of standard sensors via binary signals.
For more complex applications, powerful master boxes with IO-Link interfaces offer enhanced diagnostics, transparency, and efficiency – right in the field.
EtherCAT – Real-Time Performance
Our EtherCAT boxes enable real-time communication with minimal cycle times – ideal for demanding automation tasks. Decentralized IO management ensures reliable data transmission and optimal process synchronization.
IO-Link – Smart Connectivity
CONEC IO-Link slave boxes connect easily to IO-Link masters, enabling simple and reliable sensor/actuator integration – without complex wiring. Bidirectional communication delivers switching signals plus valuable diagnostics, status, and configuration data – boosting transparency, simplifying maintenance, and increasing system uptime.
CONEC – Passive Junction boxes
Ideal for signal and power distribution in industrial environments, our passive boxes offer service-friendly, space-saving, and clearly structured wiring. With robust design, high IP67 protection, and clear labeling, they ensure safe signal routing and long-term reliability – even in harsh conditions.
CONEC – Enclosure technology
We also design and manufacture custom-specific distribution box housings with integrated M8/M12/7/8″ or hybrid interfaces. Other industrial interfaces are available on request.
The electronics, in the form of a circuit board, are installed by the customer. The housings are customized to meet individual specifications – including color, design, and branding.
As a complement, CONEC also offers the matching connectivity solutions for your active and passive distribution boxes – from various distribution systems to custom-assembled cables and protective caps. Reliable, rugged, and precisely tailored to your application.
