3 Functions and features

The IO-Link data splitter E434xx allows decoupling of sensor information via
an IO-Link master without having to change the existing plant configuration or
controller�
The decoupled sensor information (e�g� switching output signals or analogue
values) can, for example, be recorded and evaluated in a cloud application.
Connection to or disconnection from the IO-Link master is possible at any time
without influencing the active machine functionality�
On delivery the data splitter is immediately ready for operation
(plug & play) for many applications (→ 8)�
On delivery only read access is possible (→ 4.2)�
The device can be configured for write access (→ 8)�
Sensors with pulse or frequency output on OUT1 (pin 4) are not supported.
► Check if the signal generated by the sensor is also provided via IO-Link�
► Check if the IO-Link transmission speed is fast enough for the
application (for example in case of very rapid switching frequencies)
→ Technical data sheet.
3.1 Application area
The device is suitable for use in industrial applications�
The connected sensor / actuator (→ Fig. 4.1) must have IO-Link
functionality�
For system integration the Y cable EVC843 is required (→ Accessories).
