Communication module IO-Link Master

Communication module IO-Link Master
An 8 port IO-link master module CM 8xIO-link is available for the S7-1500 automation system
/ ET 200MP distributed I/O system.
IO-Link is a point-to-point connection between a master and a device. Both conventional and
intelligent sensors/actuators can be used as devices at the IO-Link via unshielded standard
cables using proven 3-wire technology.
You can use the 8-port IO-link master as follows:
• Central, directly behind a S7-1500 CPU (a total of 30 I/O modules, plug-in type)
• Distributed with ET 200MP to PROFINET and PROFIBUS
With the IO-link, you can easily change the parameters for the production and processing of
different product variants and batches up to sensor/actuator level during CPU runtime. A
considerably more detailed diagnostics up to sensor or actuator or a remote diagnostics is
possible.
