BIS V-6106 Ethernet/IP™
Processor Unit

IO-Link is defined as a standardized point-to-point connection between sensors/actuators and
an I/O module. An IO-Link sensor/actuator can send additional communication data
(e.g. diagnostics signals) in addition to the binary process signals over the IO-Link interface.
Compatibility with standard I/O:
– IO-Link sensors/actuators can be connected to existing I/O modules.
– Sensors/actuators that are not IO-Link-capable can be connected to an IO-Link module.
– Standard sensor/actuator cables can be used
Key technical data:
– Serial point-to-point connection
– Communication as an add-on to the standard I/O
– Standard I/O connection technology, unshielded, 20 m cable length
– Communication using 24 V pulse modulation, standard UART protocol
The device can be connected to a computer's USB port using the "Service/IO-Link" jack and
then behaves like a USB stick. This allows access to the internal memory, where the manual, the
GSD file and a communications driver for service functions are saved. In addition, the BIS V has
to be connected to a voltage source. The communication driver can be installed as needed, but
is not required for the USB port and BIS V to function.
