IO-Link master for the automation and IT world
The IO-Link master modules for the control cabinet serve as a gateway
between intelligent IO-Link sensors and the field bus. Besides, important
information of the intelligent sensors can simultaneously be sent into
the IT world.
With a separate IoT Ethernet socket the IT network can be set up completely
separated from the automation network. Sensor information is transferred
into the IT world via the established TCP/IP JSON interface.

Advantages and customer benefits
• Separation between automation and
IT network
Machine uptime is of highest priority. The automation
network must by no means be interrupted by external
factors. Therefore the unit features a separate IoT
Ethernet socket separating IT and automation network.
This means that important sensor information can be
safely sent to the IT and ERP systems.
• Sensor configuration with LR DEVICE
The intuitive software finds all IO-Link masters in the
network and creates an overview of the whole plant.
In addition, all connected sensors are displayed with
the respective parameters. This makes it possible to
set the parameters of all sensors in the system from
one central point.
• Easy sensor connection
The sensors and actuators are connected via standard
M12 connection cables without screening. The
connection cables are fixed via removable COMBICON
connectors on the IO-Link master. Up to 8 IO-Link
sensors can be connected and be supplied with up to
3.6 A. The cable can be up to 20 m long.
• Reliable digital data
The sensor data is transferred digitally.
Unlike analogue signals, contact resistance and EMC
interference cannot corrupt the signals.
