ej6224

The EJ6224 EtherCAT plug-in module is an IO-Link master and enables the connection of up to four IO-Link devices. IO-Link devices can be actuators, sensors or a combination of both. A point-to-point connection is used between the module and the device.   The EJ6224 is parameterized via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link is designed as an intelligent link between the fieldbus level and the sensor, with parameterization information being exchanged bi-directionally via the IO-Link connection. The IO-Link device is parameterized with service data from TwinCAT via ADS or very conveniently using the integrated IO-Link commissioning tool. Among other things the tool enables automatic scanning of IO-Link devices, comfortable editing of sensor parameters and an integrated online search for sensor description files.
