Robust field bus modules with safe connection
The decentralised IO-Link masters are used as gateways between intelligent
IO-Link sensors and the fieldbus. They are the perfect choice, even in the
most difficult environments: The materials and production methods are
identical to the ifm jumper cables of the tried-and-tested EVC product
series. The ecolink technology guarantees reliable, permanently ingress-
resistant M12 connections of the connection cables.
Extra power
The IO-Link masters are equipped with two T-coded M12 connections for
voltage supply. With this power cabling, the current path can simply be
daisy-chained.
The B ports of the 8-port IO-Link master allow direct connection of IO-Link
actuators, such as valve islands.
Advantages and customer benefits Products
• Sensor configuration with LR DEVICE Type Description Order
no.
The intuitive software finds all IO-Link masters in the
network and creates an overview of the whole plant.
Besides, all sensors connected are indicated with the IO-Link master PowerLine coolant
respective parameters. This means that parameter
setting of all sensors in the system is possible from Profinet 4-port AL1200
one central point.
Profinet 8-port AL1202
• Easy sensor connection
The sensors and actuators are connected via standard EtherNet/IP 4-port AL1220
M12 connection cables without screening.
Depending on the device type, up to 4 or 8 IO-Link EtherNet/IP 8-port AL1222
sensors can be connected and supplied with up to
IO-Link module Coolant
3.6 A. With the EVC693 accessories, additional
auxiliary power for the connection of IO-Link actuators Input module 4 x 2DI AL2400
can be supplied. The cable can be up to 20 m long. Input module 8 x 2DI AL2401
• Direct connection to the IT Output module 6 x 2DO AL2330
The integrated LR AGENT EMBEDDED is capable
of transmitting the process values directly to ERP Technical data
systems, without detour via the PLC.
