4.1 IO-Link 59394
The device offers the following IO-Link functions:
•IO-Link master (IO-Link revision 1.0 and 1.1)
•2 IO-Link Ports Class A to connect IO-Link devices. The IO-Link ports of the AIK050 meet the
requirements of the IO-Link specifications 1.0 to 1.1.2.
The AIK050 offers no function to configure the connected IO-Link devices.
►Configure IO-Link devices in accordance with the process requirements before connecting
them to the AIK050.
>
4.1.1 IO-Link supply 59395
The device has 2 supplies for IO-Link devices.
Every supply provides short circuit monitoring.
>
4.2 Gateway 59396
The device provides the process data of the connected IO-Link devices via mobile radio in the ifm
cloud.

4.3 Mobile radio 59397
>
4.3.1 Supported wireless standards 60006
The device supports the following wireless standards:
•2nd generation GSM (2G)
•LTE CAT M1 (4G)
•Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT)
►Observe used frequencies and maximum permissible error (→Frequencies and Maximum
Permissible Error (→p. 28))!
>
4.3.2 Countries covered 59399
List of countries in which the device can be operated: →www.ifm.com
There are no roaming charges for operation across country borders.
Outside these countries, it is not allowed to operate the AIK050. Operation outside of these
countries is a violation of the Terms and Conditions and may result in deactivation of services.
ifm does not guarantee mobile radio coverage for every location in the listed countries.
>
4.3.3 Data transmission 59400
Data transmission of the connected IO-Link devices takes place at a fixed interval the customer
selects when purchasing the device.
It is possible to change to interval at a later date.
>
4.3.4 SIM card 59401
Transfer of data from the AIK050 to the ifm.cloud takes place via an integrated SIM card (eSIM).
The customer is neither entitled to remove the integrated SIM card from the device, to sell the
chip card itself, to act as a provider of telecommunication services nor to offer mobile radio
services, switching or interconnection services to third parties.
►Use the SIM card only in accordance with the services purchased from ifm!

4.4 Digital outputs 59402
The device has 2 digital switching outputs. The digital outputs are at pin 2 and pin 4 of the power port.
The outputs refer to the potential of the device supply US (pin 3).
The outputs are controlled via the switching function of the AIK050 (→edge switching function
(→p. 11)).
>
59403
The device displays the following indications:
•Status display of the voltage supply
•Status and activity indication of the mobile radio connection to the ifm cloud
•Status and error indication of the IO-Link ports
>
4.5 edge alarm function 59404
The device offers an alarm function. The function allows to define alarms based on rules that are sent
to the ifm cloud and which are independent of the selected mobile radio transmission interval.
The function can be configured via the ifm cloud and loaded to the AIK050 via mobile radio. The
configured alarms are processed directly on the AIK050, irrespective of the connection to the ifm
cloud.
Due to the nature of the Internet, it cannot be fully guaranteed that the AIK050 will send the
set alarm to the ifm cloud under all circumstances and within a specific minimum time.
Normally, the sensor value and alarm transmission takes place within a few seconds.
