Safety Instructions 2.2. Intended use The CU4plus IO-Link control unit is only intended for use as described in chapter 3.1. Use beyond that described in chapter 3.1. do not comply with the regulations and SPX FLOW shall not be responsible for any damage resulting from this non-observance.
Prerequisite for a guarantee is the correct use of the unit in compliance with the specified conditions of application. Note! This warranty only applies to the Control Unit. No liability will be accepted for consequential damage of any kind arising from failure or malfunction of the device. Control Unit CU4plus IO-Link Instruction Manual GB-3...
General Terms 3.1. Purpose of use fig. 3.2. The control unit CU4plus IO-Link has been developed for the control of process valves in food processing industry as well as related industries. The CU4plus IO-Link control unit operates as interface between process control and process valve and controls the electric and pneumatic signals.

The air supply of the control unit is equipped with an exchangeable air filter. Observance of the required compressed air quality is imperative. Please also see chapter 4.5 Technical Data. The number of the solenoid valves installed in the CU4plus depends on the valve actuators to be controlled. Single seat and butterfly valves and double seat valves without seat lift function require 1 solenoid valve.
The complete control unit has been designed on the building block principle. By exchange of the electronic module, the control type can be changed, e.g. from direct control (Direct Connect) to communication with AS-Interface or IO-Link. Note! Wiring must be changed!

A cable with a core cross-sectional area of 0,35 mm² and a length of up to 20 m can be used to connect the IO-Link master and the CU4plus IO-Link. No special calculation is required in this case. Nevertheless, the supply cables between the power supply unit and the IO-Link master should be checked for voltage drops.

Data Storage between Masters and Devices is specified according the IO-Link standard, whereas the adjacent upper data storage mechanisms depend on the individual fieldbus or system. The CU4plus IO-Link holds all for an device exchange needed parameters for Data Storage. CU4 plus supports all IO-Link target modes such as SCAN, TYPE COMPATIBLE and IDENTICAL mode.
We recommend adjusting the time for "pulse off" to be larger than 30 seconds.
