IO-Link master: Connection of sensors to the PLC and to the IT world

  • Industry 4.0 ready via new IoT core
  • Separation between automation and IT network
  • 4 or 8 IO-Link ports with full V1.1 functionality
  • PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCat, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP JSON or Powerlink
  • Master and device configurable via the LR DEVICE software

The decentralised IO-Link master modules 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.

Robust field bus modules for demanding applications

Thanks to their special housing materials and high ingress resistance (IP 67 or IP 69K), they can be used in coolant applications or directly in wet areas in the food industry. The ecolink technology guarantees reliable, permanently ingress resistant M12 connections of the connection cables.
