Introduction EP6222-0002
2-channel IO-Link master Class A, 2 x digital input
The EP6222-0002 IO-Link module enables the connection of up to two IO-Link devices. These can be actuators, sensors or a combination of both. In addition, the EP6222-0002 offers two further digital inputs on the free pins of the M12 ports. 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 two IO-Link channels of the EP6222-0002 operate as a 2-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 be used as a pure digital input or digital output. The slim design also enables use where space is cramped.
