Description

Designed for decentralized field acquisition of binary signals, the EPI1809-0021 IO-Link module facilitates the integration of up to 16 digital inputs directly within demanding industrial environments. This compact IO-Link box acts as an efficient bridge between physical sensors and higher-level control networks, utilizing an M12 A-coded connection for communication and power.

The module is built with an extremely robust IP67-rated housing, making it highly resistant to wet, dusty, and high-vibration environments. It operates using the IO-Link V1.1 specification at high-speed COM3 transmission rates, offering adjustable input filtering and short-circuit proof sensor power distribution to ensure accurate data capture and robust operational safety.

Features

  • Supports up to 16 digital inputs with standard M8 screw-type connection interfaces.
  • High-speed data transfer rates up to 230.4 kbaud (COM3) based on the IO-Link V1.1 Class A standard.
  • Integrated Type 3 input characteristics conforming to EN 61131-2 specifications.
  • Robust IP65, IP66, and IP67 ingress protection ratings for cabinet-free installation.
  • Adjustable input filter parameters from 0 to 20 ms to optimize signal integrity.
  • Short-circuit protected sensor power supply sourced directly from the L+ voltage.

Applications

  • Automated assembly lines and material handling machinery.
  • Automotive manufacturing and robotic work cells.
  • Packaging, food processing, and bottling applications requiring washdown protection.
  • Distributed sensing networks in heavy industrial machinery.
