Why Choose the Lovato LP4P2B8100L IO-Link Control Station?
The Lovato LP4P2B8100L is a compact grey control station for 40 mm profile rails, equipped with an IO-Link interface and two flush illuminated pushbuttons with RGB LEDs. As part of the Lovato LP4 control station range, it is designed for modern industrial machinery where operator commands, configurable visual signalling and digital communication need to be combined in a compact assembly.
Each of the two flush pushbuttons provides a 1NO contact function, giving an overall contact configuration of 1NO + 1NO. The RGB illumination allows the indication colour to be selected through combinations of red, green and blue, providing flexible machine-status and operator-feedback signalling without requiring separate single-colour indicator devices.
The LP4P2B8100L operates from a 19.2–28.8 V DC supply and communicates using IO-Link 1.1.2 at COM2. A 4-pin A-coded M12 connector simplifies field connection, while the compact housing mounts directly onto 40 mm profile rails and provides an IP65 degree of protection for industrial environments.

Intelligent Operator Control with IO-Link
The Lovato LP4P2B8100L combines conventional operator pushbutton functions with IO-Link communication, allowing command and signalling information to be integrated into a digital machine-control architecture. Its process-data interface provides 1 byte of input data and 2 bytes of output data, while device identification, diagnostics, parameterisation and data-storage functions support efficient commissioning and maintenance.
The two RGB illuminated pushbuttons provide flexible visual feedback directly at the operator station. Combined with compact 40 mm profile-rail mounting and an industry-standard M12 connection, this makes the LP4P2B8100L particularly suitable for decentralised operator interfaces installed directly on automated machinery and production equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery operator controls.
- Conveyor and material-handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- IO-Link enabled machine automation systems.
- Decentralised start, stop and process-control stations.
- Machine-status and operator-feedback signalling.
