Introduction
The EP6228-3034 IO-Link master module enables the connection of up to eight IO-Link devices. These can be IO-Link box modules, actuators, sensors or combinations of both. In addition, the EP6228-3034 offers a power supply for Class B devices on the eight Class B master ports.
The EtherCAT Box is parameterized via the EtherCAT Master. 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 eight C/Q channels of the EP6228-3034 work as IO-Link channels. Each IO-Link channel can also optionally be used just as an input or output channel.
The L-coded M12 power supply connectors offer an increased sum current of the EtherCAT Box, so that all IO-Link ports and the additional power supply can be operated with the maximum current.
