IO-Link IP69K masters
DataLine masters (AL13xx series)
DataLine masters (AL13xx) are designed with an inexpensive M12 female connector to run power to the master. 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.
Our IP69K masters are fitted with 316 stainless steel hardware to withstand the harsh environment. The face of the housing is convex to provide better cleaning angles and mounting offsets to prevent the possibility of trapped particles and bacteria during the cleaning process.
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.
IP67 master shown above. IP69K masters are similar.
Q. Can A ports be converted to B ports?
A. Yes, the conversion cables below are available. These cables can be used on A ports on any IO-Link masters.
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.
