Barksdale, a leading manufacturer of industrial controls, is pleased to announce the first release of the Generation 3000 Series with IO-Link digital communication protocol: the BPS3000, an electronic dual pressure switch with a 4-digit display is now equipped with IO-Link protocol. The BPS3000 is part of Barksdale's Generation 3000 Series of electronic products that includes Pressure, Temperature, and Level sensor technology.

IO-Link is a bi-directional, digital, point-to-point serial communication protocol used to connect digital sensors and actuators to optimize industrial automated processes or operations. IO-Link technology corresponds to the international standard IEC 61131-9 and is globally recognized and used to exchange process data, service data, and events data--unlocking data that can be used to ultimately optimize the operation of the IO-Link device. These smart devices identify and configure themselves automatically, they can predict repairs and maintenance concepts and are easy to install requiring a standard 3-wire cable.
"We launched our BPS3000 in 2014 with much success. Today, we are excited to expand on this product series and offer IO-Link capability on an already established product series that offers pressure ranges up to 9000 psi with high accuracy in a compact size," said Barksdale's VP, General Manager-Industrial, Melissa Blashka. "This versatile product series is perfect for a wide array of industrial applications including hydraulic power units, factory automation, pulp & paper mills, and machine tools."
The BPS3000 also offers transmitter functionality by supplying analog output signals 0 to 10 V DC to 4 to 20 mA respectively. The full-scale output can be adjusted to as low as 25% of FSO during installation enabling more flexibility and reducing the need to stock multiple pressure ranges. Fully digital point-to-point communication is available via IO-Link capability. IO-Link mode allows quick remote parameterization, easy diagnostics, and data storage capabilities, supporting smart factory applications and reducing system downtime.
With a panel height of just under four inches and a diameter well under two inches, the BPS3000 allows installation in compact locations. The IP67 class-rated housing makes this unit suitable for the wettest of environments, and even full submersion. Pressure ranges are available from 0 to 3 psi up to 0 to 9000 psi, with absolute pressure ranges up to 150 psi. Multiple process connections are offered as standard from ¼" NPT to 7/16" SAE just to name a few.
