IO-Link IP20 masters
CabinetLine masters (AL19xx series)
CabinetLine masters (AL19xx) are designed with removable cage clamp connectors for easy wiring. This series also offers a secondary IoT port so data can be sent directly to a high-level software system without the need for a PLC. This separates machine control and IT networks.
- Use in main control panel with PLC (smaller systems) and/or in remote sub-panels (larger systems)
- Removable cage clamp terminals

FAQs
Q. What is the difference between A ports and B ports on an IO-Link master?
A. On A ports, pin 2 is always used as a digital input and pin 5 is not connected. On B ports, pins 2 and 5 provide an additional isolated supply voltage to connect IO-Link output devices that require increased power. These devices are limited to 300 mA load current per port, so high amp loads cannot be switched on the B ports. Currently, only the PowerLine masters (AL12xx) are offered with B ports.

Q. Why would I have a blinking red LED on one or more of my IO-Link ports?
A. This table is provided in the operating instructions. Refer to the pdf for more details.
