3 Documentation
This documentation relates to the hardware and firmware status at the time of
editing this manual. The features of the devices are continuously developed further
and improved.
The documentation applies to firmware version v2.2.x.x or higher.
4 Functions and features
The device has been designed for use within an EtherCAT network and designed
for use without a control cabinet in plant construction. It enables the operation of
up to eight IO-Link sensors/actuators and is also used to acquire digital signals.
5 Product description
5.1 DI (digital input)
The digital inputs receive the digital control signals from the process level. These
signals are transferred to the higher-level automation device via the network/bus.
The signal status is indicated via LEDs. The sensors are connected via M12 screw
connectors. The sensors are supplied from the sensor voltage US.

IO-Link Master EtherCat

5.2 IOL (IO-Link port)
These devices have IO-Link ports for communication-capable sensors so that the
automation device can make dynamic changes to the sensor parameters directly.
The IO-Link ports can be operated in the following operating modes:
– DI (behaves like a digital input supplied via US)
– DO (behaves like a digital output supplied via US)
– IO-Link (IOL sensor supplied via US/ IOL actuator supplied via USand UA)
5.3 Connections
The bus, I/O devices and supply are connected via M12 screw connections. Each
device is connected directly to the network/bus system.
5.4 Protection rating
The devices have IP65/67 protection rating. To ensure IP65 / IP67 protection,
cover unused sockets with protective caps.

8 Electrical connection
For the devices, a distinction is made between two voltages:
– USto supply the communications power and the sensors (always required),
– UAfor supplying the actuators, only required for devices with fixed outputs or
for additional devices.
All supply voltages are connected via M12 connectors.

Damage to the electronics
►Connect both supply voltages completely (to +24 V and GND).
Do not connect several supply voltages via one GND, as this will exceed the current rating of the
contacts.
8.1 Supply voltages USand UA
The voltages USand UAare fed in at connection X31.
Power supply USis required to supply the communications power of the device
electronics and to supply the sensors. It must be connected to every device. If this
supply voltage is disconnected, the device will not work.
►Install the power supply for the device electronics independently of the power
supply for the actuators.
►Protect the power supplies independently.
> This means that the bus can continue running even if some I/O devices are
switched off.
8.2 Power supply US
►Connect power supply Usfor the logic and sensors to socket X31.
►To supply additional devices, connect the cable for the outgoing supply voltage
to socket X32.
Damage to the electronics
The current rating of the M12 connectors is 12 A per contact.
Make sure that this value is not exceeded. Please note that the connection for the outgoing supply
voltage is not monitored for overload. If the permissible current rating is exceeded, this may result in
damage to the connectors.
8.3 Power supply UA
The voltage supply UAis only required for the supply of the IO-Link actuators. IO-
Link port in the operating mode DO is supplied via US.
Damage to the electronics
Power supplies USand UAshould only be supplied with SELV.

9 Installation
When preparing for cable installation, the local conditions and the corresponding
mounting regulations are very important. Cables can be installed, for example, in
cable ducts or on cable bridges.
Data corruption and loss
A minimum distance between the cabling and possible sources of interference (e.g., machines,
welding equipment, power lines) is defined in the applicable regulations and standards. During
system planning and installation, these regulations and standards must be taken into account and
observed.
Protect the bus cables from sources of electric/magnetic interference and mechanical strain.
Observe the following guidelines regarding “electromagnetic compatibility” (EMC) to keep mechanical
risks and interference to a minimum.
9.1 Mechanical strain
►Choose the correct cable type for the respective application (e.g., indoor or
outdoor installation, drag chains).
►Observe the minimum bending radius.
►Make sure that cables do not enter the shear area of moving machine parts.
►Do not install bus cables at right angles to driving routes and machine
movements.
►Use cable ducts and cable bridges.
►Observe the specifications of the cables used.
9.2 Sources of interference
Signal cables and power supply lines should not be installed in parallel.
►If necessary, metal isolating segments should be placed between the power
supply lines and signal cables.
►Only use connectors with metal housing and connect as much of the shielding
as possible to the housing.
►For outdoor cables between buildings, make sure that grounding is carried out
in accordance with “Installing network/bus cables between buildings”.
►During installation, all connector locking mechanisms (screws, union nuts)
must be firmly tightened in order to ensure the best possible contact between
shielding and ground. Before initial startup, the ground or shielding connection
of cables must be checked for low-resistance continuity.
9.3 Cable routing in control cabinets
►Install network/bus cables in separate cable ducts or separate cable bundles.
►Where possible, do not install network/bus cables parallel to power supply
lines.

►Install network/bus cables at least 10 cm away from power lines.
9.4 Cable routing in buildings
►Where possible, use metal cable hangers.
►Do not install network/bus cables together with or parallel to power supply
lines.
►Separate network/bus cables on cable bridges or in cable ducts from power
supply lines using isolating segments.
►Install network/bus cables as far away as possible from sources of interference,
such as motors and welding equipment.
►For long cable connections, install an additional equipotential bonding line
between the terminal points.
9.5 Cable routing outside buildings
►Install network/bus cables in metal pipes that are grounded on both sides or in
concrete cable ducts with continuous reinforcement.
►For long cable connections, install an additional equipotential bonding line
between the terminal points.
9.6 Installing network/bus cables between buildings
9.6.1 Causes of surge voltages
Surge voltages occur as a result of switching operations, electrostatic discharge,
and lightning discharge. Surge voltages can be inductively, capacitively or
galvanically coupled into electrical cables for mains supply, measured value
transmission, and data transmission. In this way, surge voltages reach the power
supply units and the interfaces of systems and devices.
9.6.2 Equipotential bonding line
Install an additional equipotential bonding line between the grounding points of
buildings, preferably in the form of
– a metal-reinforced concrete channel,
– an additional grounding cable or
– a metal pipe.

9.6.3 Surge protective devices
ifm recommends wiring all the wires of the cable to surge protective devices in order to protect the
devices against surge voltages.
Observe all national and international regulations when installing surge protective devices.

9.7 Surge protection measures
ifm recommends wiring relay coils or motor coils to an RC element in order to protect the devices
against interference. Depending on the application, the delay time of the relay can be increased by
approximately 1 ms.
Relay coil with RC element
For the dimensioning of the RC element, the following values are recommended:
R = 100...200
Ω /
C = 220...470 nF

9.8 Grounding concept
The devices operate in the low-level signal voltage range. In the case of low-level
signal devices, interference is discharged via functional earth (FE). Functional
earth (FE) is only used to discharge interference. It does not provide shock
protection for people.
Functional grounding
The devices are designed to be screwed onto a flat mounting surface.
►Ground the devices by means of the mounting screws of the fixing clips.
9.9 Installation instructions
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) according to EN 61340-5-1 and
IEC 61340-5-1.
Damage to the electronics
►The device may only be installed and removed by qualified electricians in accordance with the
ESD regulations.
►Implement the FE connection using mounting screws, in order to ensure immunity to interference.
►To ensure IP65/IP67 protection, cover unused connections with protective caps.
►Only supply the sensors with the voltage USwhich is provided at the terminal points.
►Avoid polarity reversal of supply voltages USand UA.
Data corruption or loss
►Implement the FE connection using mounting screws, in order to ensure immunity to interference.
9.10 Mounting distances
No specific distances are required between devices or between a device and a
cabinet door or cover. Mounting distances are determined solely by the plugs used
and the bending radii of the cables.
