Also cataloged as the BNI000E, this device is described in product records as an Active Splitter with Profibus compatibility and auxiliary IO-Link channels, and it is noted as discontinued by the manufacturer. The module occupies a position in Balluff’s BNI family as a network interface splitter that supports IO-Link connectivity while distributing Profibus signals, providing a way to extend sensing and control capability within legacy automation architectures without requiring a new master network device. Key characteristics verified in distributor listings include 16 inputs and 4 IO-Link interfaces paired with a zinc housing, underscoring its rugged industrial design for factory environments. As a legacy Balluff part, the BNI PBS-502-000-Z001 remains of interest primarily to teams maintaining older systems or seeking compatible components from Balluff’s historical lineup, particularly where Profibus wiring and IO-Link expansion are already in place.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BALLUFF","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676432498990,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_1232b968-da78-41c3-9b37-cd55d9946692.jpg?v=1769551483","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bni-pbs-502-000-z001-active-splitter-module","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
