GX-type IO-Link Master Unit
Directly supply the Unit power supply and the I/O power supply from the power supply port of the IO-
Link Master Unit.
The I/O power supply is branched in the IO-Link Master Unit and supplied to the connected devices
from the ports.

Note Even if the Unit power supply is not supplied, if you supply the I/O power supply, the I/O power supply is
supplied to the connected devices from the ports.

Calculating the Current Consumption of the IO-Link Master Unit
from the I/O Power Supply
The current consumption of the IO-Link Master Unit from the I/O power supply is calculated as shown
below.
(Current consumption of the IO-Link Master Unit from the I/O power supply)
=
(Current consumption of the IO-Link Master Unit itself from the I/O power supply)
+ (Total input current of ports used for inputs)
+ (Total current consumption of external connected devices)
+ (Total load current of ports used for outputs)

Precautions for the Unit Power Supply and the I/O Power Supply
There are two IO-Link Master Unit power supply systems: the Unit power supply and the I/O power
supply.
• Supply the Unit power supply and the I/O power supply from separate sources.
Precautions for Correct Use
You must supply the Unit power supply and the I/O power supply from separate sources.
If you supply power from the same power supply, noise may cause malfunctions.
• There are no restrictions on the sequence of turning ON the power supplies for either NX-type or
GX-type IO-Link Master Units.
