CAUTION

Do not touch this product or the cable with wet hands. Incorrect wiring 

can cause product failure or malfunction.

When wiring this product, do so properly according to this manual and 

specified instruction manuals. 

Incorrect wiring can cause product failure or malfunction.

Connect only specified cables to this product. 

Use of cables other than those specified can cause malfunction.

Keep wiring separate from high voltage and motor circuits. Using the same 

wiring can cause malfunction or failure.

If this is unavoidable, shield with a conductor such as an earthed conduit.

Install this product as far away as possible from high-voltage equip-

ment, equipment that generates large switching surges and equipment 

that generates noise, such as welding machines or inverter motors.

Use this product with the end plate (sold separately) mounted to the 

DIN rail. Make sure locking mechanisms are locked before use.

Tighten the mounting screws that attach the power terminal block to the 

main unit with a torque value of 0.25 N•m or less.

Do not apply torsional stress to cables. Doing so can cause cables and 

connectors to malfunction.

Secure the communications cable drawn out of this product within 

lengths of 30 cm to ensure no load is applied to the product.

Do not drop this product or subject it to strong impact or vibrations. 

Doing so can cause malfunction.

This product generates heat during operation, so do not maintain physi-

cal contact for long periods of time. 

Doing so can cause low-temperature burns, etc.

Use this product within the rated range.

Do not cut power during communication.

Make sure to turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting 

cables and connectors. Connection or disconnection while running can 

cause malfunction.

Always hold the connector when connecting or disconnecting cables 

and do not apply excessive force to cables.

When removing a connector, do not touch the terminals inside the con-

nector or allow foreign objects to get inside.

When using power cables or commercially available switching regula-

tors, make sure the frame ground (FG) is grounded.

Wait until after transient state (approx. 2 sec.) when power is turned ON 

before use.

Make sure to use an isolation transformer for DC power supply.

If a surge occurs in the power supply used, use a surge absorber for the 

source of generation.

If this product used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the 

protection provided by this product may be impaired.

1. Overview

IO-Link Hub UR-DS4DA is a remote analog output unit that specifies 4 
analog output signals to control various actuators with process output 
data from the IO-Link master.

It can be used to control devices with analog input, such as changing 
the speed of a motor, or adjusting flow rate or fan speed.

6. Connection

When inserting or removing wires from the terminal block, press the 
open/close key (orange part) while inserting/removing.

In the case of ferrules, they can be inserted without pressing the 
open/close key, but when pulling them out, press it in while doing 
so. Pulling out without pressing in the key may damage the terminal 
block.

The recommended crimping tool is CRIMPFOX 6 from PHOENIX 
CONTACT. When using a crimping tool other than the recommended 
one, use a type that crimps from the top and bottom (2 directions).If 
other tools are used to crimp and insert the terminal block, the termi-
nal block may be damaged when pulling it out.

 Wiring to the IO-Link Master

Connect the IO-Link master to either the e-CON socket on this product 
or the IO-Link communication terminals on the power terminal block.
