Power Supply This device can only be operated with a current source of limited power, that is, the power supply must have overvoltage and overcurrent protection functions. In order to prevent the power failure of this equipment, affecting the safety of other equipment; or the failure of external equipment, affecting the safety of this equipment.
Product Overview
The IO-Link master establishes the connection between the IO-Link device and the automation system. As an integral part of the I/O system, the IO-Link master station is either installed in the control cabinet, or directly installed on-site as a remote I/O, and its encapsulation level is IP65/67.
- Designed for industrial environments, it is a system applied to automated lines.
- Compact structure, suitable for usage scenarios with limited installation conditions.
- IP67 high protection level, and an anti-interference design, suitable for demanding application environments.
As a special reminder, IP rating is not part of UL certification.
