2. Product Description
2.1 Description of the Communication Module
The EB-IO-LINK communication module serves as an interface for connection to a
higher-level controller and is compatible with circuit breakers of the variants EB-08,
EB-18, and EB-38.
The communication module supports IO-Link standard V1.1 and works with the COM
3 speed of 230.4 kB. The cyclic data exchange is 2.0 ms and contains 6 bytes of
process data.
To ensure error-free operation, the maximum number of 40 circuit breakers must not
be exceeded.

3. Initialization
The EB-IO-LINK module initializes itself by applying the supply voltage to terminal IN
+ or by setting up the IO-Link connection.
Functional operation is only made possible by connecting circuit breaker modules and
applying the supply voltage to IN +.
After the supply voltage has been applied, all connected circuit breakers are
addressed one after the other and then selectively switched on, one after the other.
Using the IO-Link module, a maximum of 40 circuit breaker channels can be
addressed and managed.
To simplify initialization and configuration, the associated IODD can be downloaded
from the following via the following link.
Note:
When applying the supply voltage to IN+, it is imperative that a separate GND line is
connected to one of the circuit breaker channels.
Initialization without a series of circuit breaker modules can lead to faulty behavior.
3.1 Operating statuses
The EB-IO-LINK module has an LED to indicate the respective operating status.

3.2 Communication
The EB-IO-LINK communication module communicates according to the V1.1 IO-
LINK standard and is backwards compatible with the V1.0.1 IO-LINK standard.
For communication with the communication module and the connected network, a
version V1.1 or V1.0 IO-Link Master is required.
The communication module operates in COM 3 mode (230.4 kB) and exchanges 6
bytes of process data with the Master per cycle (2 ms).

4. Process Data and Parameters
The EB-IO-LINK module has 6 bytes of process data which are exchanged with the
Master every 2 ms. The structure and arrangement of these data is discussed in
detail in Chapter 4.1.
The parameters and diagnostic data of each individual circuit breaker channel are
transmitted in addition to the process data, see chapter 4.2 and chapter 4.3.
4.1 Process Data
The process data is exchanged with the IO-Link Master in a cycle of 2ms with
230400 baud. The process data consists of a total of 6 bytes. The coding of the
individual bytes can be found in Tables 2-8.
