Electrostatic discharge
The device contains components that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
► When handling the device, observe the necessary safety precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD).
► Only operate the device when mounted on a grounded DIN rail.

⚠ WARNING
► Do not open the devices.
► Do not insert any objects into the devices.
► Prevent metal foreign bodies from penetrating.

6 Electrical connection

The device must be connected by a qualified electrician. The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be adhered to.
► Disconnect the system from power and connect the unit.
The unit is only suitable for operation using SELV/PELV voltages.
For UL applications:
► To connect the IO-Link master, only use cables ranging from AWG 26 to 12 and with a temperature range of -25…75 °C.
The circuits are insulated from each other and from device surfaces that could be touched by means of basic insulation (according to IEC 61010-1, secondary circuit with max. operating voltage, supplied from mains circuit up to 300 V of overvoltage category II). The RJ45 interfaces are designed for network environment 0 according to IEC TR62102. Technical data.
►Do not use the device beyond the limits of the technical data.

6.1 IO-Link connection

The connected IO-Link devices must be supplied exclusively via the AL19x0 masters.
Any additional supply UA for class B operation must be electrically isolated from the circuit US of the AL19xx while assuring basic isolation (according to IEC 61010-1, secondary circuit with max. 30 V DC, supplied from mains circuit up to 300 V of overvoltage category II).

6.2 Wiring

Connect the IO-Link master to 24 V DC (20…30 V SELV/PELV) via port X31.
