Typical Application
Figure 10 shows a typical control-side setup with IEG series gripping modules that are accessed via PLC and
a decentralized IO-Link field bus coupler. If you need assistance in selecting the IO-Link components, please
contact our technical support.
Damage to the IO-Link master possible. Make sure that the IO-Link master can permanently provide
the required operating current of the gripping module.
