Archives ASi/IO-Link Masters: IP67, M12

Port class A: In this type, Pin 2 is assigned with an additional digital input.

Port class B: This type provides additional supply voltage and is suitable for the connection of devices that have an increased power demand. In this case, pins 2 and 5 are used to provide additional (galvanically isolated) supply voltage.

Configurability: The C/Q connections may be used for IO-Link configuration or as digital input/output signal.

IO-Link and additional inputs/outputs are supplied by ASi or by AUX (auxiliary 24 V power). If supplied by ASi, inputs can neither be connected to earth nor to external potential.

Connection via M12: For IO-Link ports class B the supply of actuators is provided by an additional (galvanically isolated) power supply by AUX (auxiliary 24 V power) via Pin 2 (P24) and Pin 5 (N24).

Connection via clamps: If connected IO-Link Devices with IO-Link ports class B need a higher current consumption, additionally they can be supplied directly via the power supply.

Single wiring: 1 input or output per connection.

Y wiring: 2 inputs or outputs per connection.

Mixed wiring: 1 input and 1 output per connection.

Exact pin assignment see data sheet.
 

COM1 = 4.8 kBaud

COM2 = 38.4 kBaud

COM3 = 230.4 kBaud (optional according to Specification V1.0)

An IO-Link device supports only one of the defined data transmission rates.

According to Specification V1.1, the IO-Link master supports all data transmission rates and adapts itself automatically to the data transmission rate supported by the device.

The connection to ASi and AUX (24 V auxiliary power) is made for modules in the active distributor or blue IP67 housing via the yellow or black ASi profile cable with piercing technology or via an M12 plug. Modules for the control cabinet are connected via terminals and PCB modules via wiring pins, connection wires or terminals.

Line protection: If the module is supplied via a M12 connection with A or B coding, it may only be used with a current load of max. 4 A per pin in acc. with IEC 61076-2-101 and IEC 61076-2-109. A fused tap is recommended. There is no such limitation for modules supplied via piercing contacts.

Bihl+Wiedemann offers modules with AB address, single address or ASi-5 address. In some cases, ASi modules can occupy several (different) addresses. Mixed operation of modules with different addressing in the same ASi circuit is permitted.
For ASi modules with two ASi-3 nodes, the second ASi-3 node is turned off as long as the first ASi-3 node is addressed to address "0".
Upon request, ASi modules are available with specific ASi node profiles.
