Discover BOB - The Balluff Demo Bus
February 17, 2026 / 7:19 AM
BOB (Balluff On Board) is mobile demo bus showcasing Balluff’s automation expertise in a hands‑on, application‑driven way. You will meet it soon at the AMPER 2026 trade fair.
Inside BOB, you will experience the complete product portfolio of Balluff, with a strong focus on industrial networking, IO‑Link and multiprotocol connectivity.
Balluff is your expert partner for modern network architectures. In BOB, we demonstrate how IO‑Link enables transparent communication from sensor to control level - using process, diagnostic and service data to reduce wiring, simplify commissioning and improve machine availability. A key highlight is the multiprotocol BNI network modules, supporting PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT on one hardware platform, providing maximum flexibility for machine builders and system integrators.
You will also explore IO‑Link Wireless, IO‑Link Safety, and reliable PROFINET network solutions, as well as data‑driven applications such as Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance. Live demos include process visualization with SmartLight and RFID systems (LF, HF, UHF) for full process transparency.
Meet Balluff experts, see real‑world applications and bring your own challenge to BOB – let’s find the right solution together.
We invite you to visit Balluff’s mobile showroom (BOB), where we present practical automation solutions in real‑world applications.
You will find the mobile bus on the outdoor area between Halls P, Z and F at the AMPER trade fair in Brno.
