Beckhoff Automation ep6224-3002

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. A point-to-point connection is used 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 levels 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 standard setting, the EP6224-3022 functions as a 4-channel input module, 24 V DC, which communicates with connected IO-Link devices, parameterizes them and, if necessary, changes their operation mode. Each IO-Link port can also be used optionally as a pure input or output. The slim design also enables use in confined spaces.   Special properties: IO-Link V1.1 convenient sensor parameterization in TwinCAT additional supply P24 very slim design
