ep6228-3032

Product Overview

The EP6228-3032 IO-Link module enables the connection of up to eight IO-Link devices according to specification V1.1 Class B. These can be IO-Link Box modules, actuators, sensors or a combination of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the module and the device. The EtherCAT Box is parameterized via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and connected sensors, enabling the bidirectional exchange of parameterization data via the IO-Link connection. The IO-Link device can be parameterized with service data from TwinCAT via ADS and also very conveniently using the integrated IO-Link configuration tool. In the standard setting, the eight IO-Link channels of the EP6228-3032 operate as an 8-channel input module, 24 V DC, which communicates with connected IO-Link devices as required, parameterizes them and, if necessary, changes their operating mode. Each IO-Link port can optionally be used as a pure input or output. The 7/8" power supply connectors offer an increased total current of the EtherCAT Box so that all IO-Link ports can be operated with maximum current.
