IO-LINK - DESIGN
IO-Link is a worldwide standardised IO technology (IEC 61131-9) for communicating with sensors and actuators.
IO-Link is a point-to-point communication system with 3- or 5-conductor connection technology for sensors
and actuators and unshielded standard sensor lines.
Control head Type 8681 (IO-Link design) is available in 2 variants:
•
Port class A:
with a shared power supply (Power 1) for supply of the system and actuators (solenoid
valves)
or
•
Port class B:
with power supply (Power 1) for the system supply and Power 2 for separate supply of the
actuators (solenoid valves), which allows for a safety shutdown of the solenoid valves only.
The devices conform to the specifications as described in greater detail in chapter “14.3”
.

Network principle of IO-Link
IO-Link control heads can also be connected individually with the Bürkert-Communicator for configuration
and firmware update: via the büS stick to the Micro-USB port on the electronic module (see “Fig. 36”).
Since no voltage is transferred via this interface, the control head must also be supplied with voltage, for
example via the IO-Link port.
Note, however, that device parametrisation is not possible simultaneously via IO-Link and the Bürkert Com
-
municator – see also chapter
The connection with the Bürkert Communicator (Type 8920) is made via the accessory listed in chapter “16”
under “Service-Tool”. At least the büS standard set and büS adapter are required.
