Appendices A-1 Version Information This section describes the relationship between the unit versions of the IO-Link I/O Hubs and the NXR-series IO-Link I/O Master Unit for EtherNet/IP and the versions of the Support Software. If you use any of the combinations of versions/unit versions that are the same or that are later or higher than the corresponding versions given in the following table, you can use all of the functions that are sup- ported by that unit version of the IO-Link I/O Hub.
Appendices A-2 Considerations for Connecting a Two- wire DC Sensor When you use a two-wire DC sensor with your IO-Link I/O Hub, check that the following conditions are met. Failure to meet these conditions may result in operating errors. Relation between ON Voltage of the IO-Link I/O Hubs and Sensor Residual Voltage The IO-Link I/O Hubs cannot detect sensor output ON without the following conditions met: ≤...
