Depending on the variant, the Master device has 4
Class A or 8 Class A ports with an additional hard-
wired digital input on pin 2 of the I/O port. For detailed
information see chapter
on page 18.
Warning:
If devices with electric isolation and devices without electric
isolation are used within the same system, the electric isolation of all
connected devices is annulled.
IO-Link port connections
The IO-Link port connection option provided by LioN-X
devices is the 5-pin M12 connector. Pin 5 is not
assigned for IO-Link Class A ports.
Validation & Backup
The Validation & Backup function checks if the right
device is connected and stores the parameters of the
IO-Link Device. The function thus gives you an easy
option for replacing the IO-Link Device.
This is possible as of IO-Link specification V1.1 and only
if the IO-Link Device
and
the IO-Link Master support the
function.
IO-Link Device parameterization
IO-Link Device parameterization in an EtherCAT
®
network is possible via TwinCAT
