Banner Engineering: K50 Programmable Indicators and Touch Buttons

Banner Engineering: K50 Programmable Indicators and Touch Buttons

June 23, 2025

The K50 for Bright, Reliable Indication and Touch or Touchless Control

Banner’s cost-efficient K50 Programmable Indicators, Touch Buttons, and Touchless Buttons are now available with IO-Link and Modbus—alongside existing discrete models—bringing intuitive feedback that guides action, confirms progress, and improves response time to an expanded range of applications.

IO-Link makes device replacement straightforward and provides access to valuable process data, while Modbus—using Banner’s PICK-IQ protocol—enables faster, more efficient communication for pick-to-light systems and operator guidance in assembly and fulfillment applications. Its standardized form factor with 5-pin M12 connection and M30 threaded base, along with the combination of multiple device functions in a single configurable part, simplifies procurement and inventory consolidation.

With custom configuration of colors, animations, and other parameters using Banner’s free Pro Editor software or directly via IO-Link or Modbus, each K50 Programmable device can be adapted to translate the logic of machines and processes into intuitive human interaction.
