in accordance with legal and normative requirements to be provided to the operator and
user of the system. This documentation must contain all necessary information and safety
instructions for the operator, the user and, if applicable, for any service personnel
authorised by the architect of the system.
•Read this document before setting up the product and keep it during the entire service life.
•The product must be suitable for the corresponding applications and
environmental conditions without any restrictions.
•Only use the product for its intended purpose ( Intended use).
•If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal injury and/or
damage to property may occur.
•The manufacturer assumes no liability or warranty for any consequences caused by tampering
with the product or incorrect use by the operator.
•Installation, electrical connection, set-up, operation and maintenance of the product must be

2.1 Cyber security
NOTE
If the unit is operated in an unprotected network environment

Unauthorised manipulation of the device function is possible.
Restrict access to authorised users (e.g. password-protected access).
Assign a new password for the Bluetooth access.

3 Intended use
The EIO344 communicates via IO-Link with a sensor. Using Bluetooth and an APP, the
connected sensor can be read and written.
All available functions can be accessed via moneo|blue. The APP is available for Android
and IOS in the App Store.
The EIO344 also features a data storage function. This allows a defective sensor to be
replaced quickly.
In addition, the adapter loops through the switching or analogue output on pin 2 of the
sensor; the output can still be used as a control signal.
The switching output at pin 4 of the sensor is replicated automatically or manually by the
EIO344.
Several adapters can be connected to each other via the EIO404 base station.
See chapter 4.3.

6: Example sensor
The unit is not suited for environments with particular requirements on mechanical stability
(e.g. shock/vibration).
The unit is intended for indoor use only.
► Observe the operating conditions (Technical data at www.ifm.com).

4Connection possibilities
The EIO344 offers several connection options which include, among others, various
functions.
4.1 IO-Link connection and outputs
This unit has two IO-Link communication interfaces.
M12 connector:
•Power supply
•Output pin 2 (looped through from sensor) and digital output pin 4
•Pin 4 for parameter setting with an IO-Link software for the device side (reset, Ou1, events, history)
M12 socket
•Input for interaction with an IO-Link device.
IO-Link is an internationally standardised IO technology (IEC 61131-9) for communicating with
sensors and actuators.
General information about IO-Link can be found at io-link.ifm.
IO Device Description (IODD) with all parameters and process data of the unit can be
found at documentation.ifm.com.
4.2 Bluetooth
Using a mobile device the following functions are supported:
•Parameter setting of the M12 socket to the IO-Link device
•Parameter setting of the IO-Link device
•Input for parameter setting with an IO-Link software for the device side
M12 socket:
•Input for interaction with an IO-Link device
4.3 Bluetooth Mesh
After setting up the Bluetooth Mesh, the EIO344 independently establishes the connection
to a base station (EIO404). The connection can be made directly to the base station or via
several EIO344 Bluetooth Mesh adapters.
Cyclical process data is transmitted to the base station at a time interval of 2-4s. With
moneo on a PC or notebook, this process data can be read at the base station and the plant
can be monitored.
See operating instructions EIO404 www.ifm.com.

5.1 Mounting the connector
To achieve the protection rating indicated in the data sheet, the following has to be observed:
► Use IO-Link cable with IP class.
► Connect the connector with the unit. The arrow indicates the position of the coding.
► Tighten the coupling nut.
•Minimum tightening torque: 0.6 Nm (tightening by hand)
•Maximum tightening torque: 1.5 Nm (using a torque wrench).
5.2 Removing the connector
► Loosen the coupling nut and simultaneously press the connector against the unit.
5.3 UL application area
For use in the USA and Canada:
► For connecting the unit and the IO-Link sensor, use UL-certified cables of category CYJV
2/7/8 having suitable ratings.
5.4 Cable length
•Maximum cable length on the input and output side (IO-Link): 20 m.
•Maximum cable length on the output side (analogue signal): no recommendation, depending on
the receiver.
► Provide all input and output side cables with a strain relief approx. 200 mm behind
the connectors.
