Key benefits at a glance:
– PROFINET IO, Modbus/TCP, and OPC UA support
– Web-based configuration of the module and IO-Link devices
– Integrated IODD memory for more than 100 IODDs
– Downloadable module configuration
– M12 L-coded power supply connector
Functional scope:
The module is a PROFINET IO fieldbus module with 8 Type A IO-Link master ports according to the IO-Link standard V1.1.
The fieldbus module serves as an interface between the controller of a PROFINET IO fieldbus system and IO-Link devices at the field level.
The integrated web server and IODD interpreter enable complete configuration of the fieldbus module and the connected IO-Link devices without the need for special software tools. Information about the module’s status is also displayed, and network parameters
such as the IP address and subnet mask can be configured. The module is capable of saving all configurations,
enabling standalone use without a higher-level PLC. MultiLink provides simultaneous data access for multiple controllers via various
communication protocols such as PROFINET IO, Modbus/TCP, and OPC UA. An L-coded M12 device connector for the
power supply enables a current carrying capacity of up to 2 x 16 A.
The inputs and outputs are equipped with A-coded M12 device connectors. Connection to the fieldbus is via a D-coded M12 device connector.
Status information for each channel is displayed via LEDs as a diagnostic function.
