ep6224-0092

Product Overview

The EP6224-0092 IO-Link module enables up to four IO-Link devices to be connected. These can be actuators, sensors, or a combination of both. In addition, the EP6224-0092 offers four further digital inputs on the free pins of the M12 ports. The connection between the box and the device is thus point-to-point. The EP6224-0092 also supports TwinSAFE SC (TwinSAFE Single Channel). The IO-Link data can thus be used for safety-related tasks via EtherCAT. The EtherCAT Box is parameterized via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, wherein parameterization information can be exchanged bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection. The parameterization of the IO-Link devices with service data can be performed from TwinCAT via ADS or, even simpler, via the integrated IO-Link configuration tool. In the standard setting, the four IO-Link channels of the EP6224-0092 operate as a 4-channel input module, 24 V DC, which communicates with the connected IO-Link devices if necessary, parameterizes them and, if required, changes their operation mode. Each IO-Link port can also be used as a pure input or output. Its slimline design means that it can be used in tight spaces.
