Balluff BNI0098 PROFIsafe over IO Link Safety Hub Overview
BNI0098, designation BNI IOF-329-P02-Z038, is a Balluff safety hub using PROFIsafe over IO-Link. It connects specified protective inputs and outputs through a compatible supported architecture; ordinary IO-Link transport alone does not make any attached device safety-rated.

Consider BNI0098 when the complete controller/master/hub configuration supports the required protective devices. Verify the exact firmware, wiring and safety parameters, then calculate and validate the whole response chain rather than using the hub's timing figure as machine stopping time.
