Balluff BIC 1I0-I2A50-Q40KFU-SM4A4A is an inductive coupler in Balluff's BIC family designed for contactless energy and signal transmission across moving parts in industrial automation. The unit accepts a 24 V DC supply up to 500 mA, is housed in an IP67-rated PBTP enclosure, and measures 1-40×40×63 mm. It uses an M12 connector (4-pin, A-coded, male) on the stationary side and provides IO-Link communication at 38.4 kBaud with a 3-byte process data payload. This configuration enables reliable data exchange across rotating interfaces in applications such as sensor/actuator connections on rotary unions or linear slides, where cable wear must be minimized.
