About this guide
This guide describes the Balluff IO-Link sensor hub module. Connection to the host
interface master is made through the IO-Link protocol.
Functionally this compact, cost-effective module is comparable with a passive splitter box: It
takes conventional sensor signals and passes them over the IO-Link interface.
