8 IO-Link
8.1 General information
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link-
capable module (IO-Link master) for operation.
The IO-Link interface enables direct access to the sensor values and parameters
and provides the possibility to set the parameters of the unit during operation.
In addition communication is possible via a point-to-point connection with a USB
adapter cable.
