Introduction EP6224-3002
EtherCAT Box, 4-channel communication interface, IO-Link, master, Class B, M12
The EP6224-3002 IO-Link module enables the connection of up to four IO-Link devices. These can be actuators, sensors or a combination of both. An additional supply voltage is available on the Class B ports for IO-Link devices with higher power requirements. Point-to-point connection between the box and the device. The EtherCAT Box is parameterized via the EtherCAT Master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, wherein parameterization information can be exchanged bidirectionally via the IO-Link connection. The parameterization of the IO-Link devices with service data can take place from TwinCAT via ADS or, very conveniently, via the integrated IO-Link configuration tool.
In the default setting, the EP6224-3002 operates as a 4-channel input module, 24 VDC, which if necessary communicates with connected IO-Link devices, parameterizes them and, if required, changes their operation mode. Each IO-Link port can also optionally be used just as an input or output. The slim design also enables use where space is cramped.
Special features:
- IO-Link V1.1
- convenient sensor parameterization in TwinCAT
- additional supply P24
- very slim design
