Device Description
The module is a PROFINET or Modbus/TCP Fieldbus module with 8 Class A
IO-Link master ports according to IO-Link standard V1.1. The Fieldbus
module serves as an interface between the PROFINET controller or Modbus
TCP controller Fieldbus system and IO-Link devices as well as discrete I/O in
the field level. The integrated web server and IODD interpreter enabling
complete configuration of the Fieldbus module and attached IO-Link
devices without the need for special software tools. Information regarding
the status of the module is also displayed and network parameters such as
the IP address and subnet mask can be configured. The module is capable of
storing all configurations enabling stand-alone usage without a higher-
level PLC. MutliLink simultaneously provides data access via different
communication protocols like PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, MQTT, and OPC UA
to multiple controllers. An L-coded M12 connector plug used for supplying
power enables a current rating of up to 2 x 16 A. The inputs and outputs are
equipped with A-coded M12 connector plugs. Connection to the Fieldbus is
achieved using a D-coded M12 connector plug. Status information for each
channel is displayed via LEDs as a diagnostic function
