System description:
The BIC system consists of two components. It transmits electrical power from the
stationary components (base) to the mobile components (remote) via the air gap. The
Transmission distance of Base and Remote is then 0 to 5 mm. In addition the BIC system
transmits the data from the IO-Link port from the IO-Link master to the BIC system Remote
component. In this way, the IO-Link functionality of the IO-Link port on the master is made
available without contact on the remote. Pin 2 in the system is transparent.
The BIC system can only be operated using Balluff IO-Link masters.
Reliable operation on IO-Link masters from other manufacturers cannot be guaranteed.
When using a Profibus IO-Link master module from Balluff GmbH only modules having the
following hardware version are compatible.
