Connectivity
The Balluff portfolio covers four main areas:
- Sensors: inductive, capacitive, photoelectric, ultrasonic, magnetic field and Micropulse linear position sensors for detection and measurement tasks
- RFID systems: LF, HF and UHF identification for traceability, tool identification and asset tracking
- Industrial networking: IO-Link masters, hubs, connectors and cordsets that bring field data into your control system
- System solutions: integrated packages for condition monitoring, format changeover and track-and-trace
Balluff is a leading name in IO-Link, the open standard for smart sensor communication. Its connected devices provide diagnostics, remote parameterisation and real-time process data, which supports predictive maintenance, faster changeovers and less unplanned downtime.
Balluff products are a strong fit for Ireland’s key industries: pharmaceutical and biopharma, medical device manufacturing, food and beverage processing, and data centres. Hygienic designs, stainless steel housings, high ingress protection and full traceability help manufacturers meet demanding regulatory and operational requirements.
As your Balluff partner in Ireland, Demesne combines Balluff’s engineering with local service. Our team can help you select the right product, specify complete systems, and get fast access to the parts you need. We have branches in Dublin, Cork and Dungannon.
Frequently asked questions about Balluff Sensors, RFID, IO Link and automation solutions
Where can I buy Balluff products in Ireland?
Demesne supplies Balluff products in Ireland, with branches in Dublin, Cork and Dungannon. Our team can help with product selection, quotes and technical support across the full Balluff range.
What products does Balluff make?
Balluff makes industrial sensors, RFID identification systems, IO-Link and industrial networking products, and integrated automation solutions. The sensor range includes inductive, capacitive, photoelectric, ultrasonic, magnetic field and linear position sensors.
How do I set up a Balluff photoelectric sensor?
Many Balluff photoelectric sensors use teach-in. You position the target object and press the teach button, and the sensor sets its switching point automatically. IO-Link versions can also be configured remotely from the control system. The exact steps vary by model, so check the product manual or contact our technical team.
Is IO-Link a fieldbus?
No. IO-Link is a point-to-point connection between one device and one port on an IO-Link master. The master then passes the data to your fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet network, such as PROFINET or EtherNet/IP.
Where do I find IODD files for Balluff products?
An IODD (IO-Link Device Description) is the file that describes a device’s parameters to your system. Balluff provides IODD files in the downloads section of each product on its website. You can also find them in the official IODD Finder library at ioddfinder.io-link.com.
Which RFID frequency do I need: LF, HF or UHF?
It depends on read range, data volume and the environment. LF has the shortest range and copes well with metal and moisture, so it is often used for tool identification. HF handles larger amounts of data at short to medium range, which makes it well suited to tracking parts on conveyors and workpiece carriers. UHF has the longest range and can read many tags at once, which suits logistics and asset tracking. Balluff covers all three, and our team can help you choose.

Tekox Terminal Strips Safety Blocks and Porcelain Blocks
Great electrical installations don't fail because of the major components. They fail because of the small ones that didn't get enough attention.
It's easy to focus on the big-ticket items during specification — and let the terminal blocks become an afterthought. But inferior connection components have a habit of making themselves known over time. Loose connections, degraded insulation, premature failure. The kind of faults that are frustrating to trace and expensive to fix.
Tekox engineer their terminal strips, safety blocks, insulated strips, and porcelain blocks to the standards your installations deserve. Available now from Demesne Electrical — get in touch and we'll show you the range.
