• 8 digital inputs via M12 screw-type connectors
• IO-Link communication (Specification V1.1, Class B)
• Supports COM 3 (230.4 kbaud) data transfer rates
• Individual short-circuit protection per channel (0.5 A max output)
• High protection rating (IP65/66/67) for harsh environments
• Electrical isolation between L+ and P24

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Due to its IP65/66/67 rating, this module can be mounted directly on machinery or in open field locations. Ensure the mounting surface is vibration-resistant according to EN 60068-2-6.
• Connectivity: Use M12 A-coded cables for IO-Link communication and M12 screw-type connectors for the 8 digital inputs.
• Power Supply: The module requires 24 V DC. Ensure current consumption (100 mA from L+ and 20 mA + load for auxiliary power) is within the specifications of your power distribution system.
• Environment: While protected against dust and water (IP67), avoid mounting in areas where chemicals not compatible with the housing material might be present.
