Connecting the IOLM (Power and Network)
For detailed procedures, refer to the appropriate guide for your model:
•IO-Link Master 4-EIP User Guide
•IO-Link DR-8-EIP User Guide.
The IO-Link Master is referred to simply as the IOLM in this document unless there is specific information
about a specific model.
Use the appropriate discussion for you IOLM model.
•DR-8-EIP (IP20 DIN rail)
•4-EIP (IP67 with rotary switches)
DR-8-EIP (IP20 DIN Rail)
The following procedures discuss connecting the IOLM DR-8-EIP power and network.
Connecting to the Network
The IOLM DR-8-EIP provides two Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) RJ45 connections.
1. Securely connect one end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to either Ethernet port.
2. Connect the other end to the network.
3. Optionally, you can use the other Ethernet port to daisy-chain to another Ethernet device.
Connecting the Power
Use either power terminal (top or bottom) but do not use both to supply power to the DR-8-EIP.

3. Apply the power and verify that the following LEDs are lit indicating that you are ready to attach
your IO-Link or digital I/O devices.
•PWR – a green lit LED indicates the DR-8-EIP is receiving power.
•MS, first the flashing green and red LEDs displays that it is in self-test mode. After the self-
test, depending on whether you set the IP address with the rotary switch one of the following
occurs:
oThe green LED is flashing to indicate that the DR-8-EIP is in standby mode.
oThe green LED is lit to indicate that the DR-8-EIP is operational.
•NS, first it flashes green and red indicating that it is in self-test mode. After the self-test,
depending on whether you set the IP address with the rotary switch one of the following
occurs:
oOff indicates there is no IP address
oSteady red indicates a duplicate IP address on the network
•LINK should be lit (green) to indicate a valid network connection.
•ACT blinks if there is network traffic between the DR-8-EIP and the network.
•Port LEDs should display in this manner if there is no device
attached:
oThe IO-Link port LED should be flashing green indicating that it
is searching for an IO-Link device.
oDI (Digital input) should be off to indicate that there is no device
attached to the port.
If the LEDs indicate that you are ready to attach devices, go the Using PortVision DX to Program the
IP Address subsection.
If the LEDs do not meet the above conditions, you can refer to the IO-Link DR-8-EIP User Guide.

IOLM 4-EIP (IP67)
The following procedures discuss connecting the IOLM 4-EIP power and network.
Setting the Rotary Switch
You can use the rotary switches under the configuration window on the IOLM 4-EIP to set the lower 3-
digits (8 bits) of the static IP address.
If the rotary switches are set to a non-default position, the upper 9-digits (24 bits) of the IP address are
then taken from the static network address and DHCP maybe disabled.
The switches only take effect during startup. The current position displays in the Help | SUPPORT web
page.
Optionally, you can leave the rotary switch set to the default and use the web interface or PortVision DX
to set the network address.
Note: If you set the network address using the rotary switches, the Rotary Switch setting overrides the
network settings in the web interface.
Switch Setting
Node Address
000
(Default setting)
Use the network configuration stored in the flash. The default network values are:
•IP address = 192.168.1.250
•Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
•IP gateway = 0.0.0.0
001-254 This is the last three digits in the IP address. This uses the first three numbers
from the configured static address, which defaults to 192.168.1.xxx.
255-887 Reserved.
888 Reset to factory defaults.
889-997 Use the network configuration values stored in the flash (reserved).
998 Use DHCP addressing.
999 Use the default IP address.
Use the following steps if you want to change the default rotary switch settings.
1. Remove the two Phillips screws securing the switch window.
2. Gently swing open the switch window from the left to the right, allowing it to pivot on the hinge on
the right side.
3. Turn each dial to the appropriate position using a small
flathead screwdriver.
The default setting is 000 as shown.
The arrow points to the switch location. 0 is located at the
3:00 position. Turn the dial clockwise to the appropriate setting.
4. Carefully close the window making sure that it is properly aligned.
5. Reinsert and hand tighten the two screws making sure that the window is securely sealed.
Note: Failure to reassemble the configuration window properly may compromise IP67 integrity.

Mounting the IOLM 4-EIP
Use the following procedure to mount the IOLM 4-EIP. Install the IOLM 4-EIP on a mounting panel or a
machine.
1. Verify that the mounting surface is level (flat) to prevent mechanical stress to the IOLM 4-EIP.
2. Attach the IOLM 4-EIP to the surface with two 6mm screws and washers.
a. Attach the grounding strap to chassis or earth ground.
b. Torque down to 8Nm.
Note: Make sure that you connect the FE terminal at low impedance to function ground to meet EMC
standards.
Connecting to the Network
The IOLM 4-EIP provides two Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) M12 connections (4-pin female /D-coded).
You can use this procedure to connect the IOLM 4-EIP to the network.
1. Securely connect one end of the M12 Ethernet cable
to EIP 1 or EIP 2 Ethernet port.
2. Connect the other end to the network.
3. Optionally, you can use the other Ethernet port to
daisy-chain to another Ethernet device.
4. If you did not connect both Ethernet ports, make sure
that the port is covered with a connector cap, which was shipped with the IOLM
4-EIP to keep dust and liquids from getting in the connector.
Note: Ethernet ports must have an approved cable or protective cover attached to the port to guarantee
IP67 compliance.
Connecting the Power
The IOLM 4-EIP provides dual M12 (A-coded) power
connectors.
Note: Power connectors must have an approved cable or
protective cover attached to the port guarantee to IP67
compliance.
