6.1 Notes 51957
A qualified electrician must connect the unit.
►The national and international for regulations setting up electrical equipment must be
complied with.
The unit is only suitable for operation using SELV/PELV voltages.
►Please note the information concerning IO-Link wiring!
This unit contains components that may be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
►Please observe the required precautions against electrostatic discharge!
The M12 connection parts in the device comply with the ingress resistance requirements of
the standard EN 61076-2-101. To adhere to the protection rating, only cables certified to this
standard must be used. The system creators undertake to ensure ingress resistance for
cables which they cut to length themselves.
►Carry out the fitting according to the indications of the cable manufacturer. A maximum of
0.8 Nm is permitted.
►During installation, place the M12 connector vertically so that the coupling nut will not
damage the thread.
►Depending on the mounting conditions, cables must be provided with a strain relief to
avoid unacceptable loads on the mounting points and M12 connections.
►Make sure that the M12 connection parts are correctly seated and mounted correctly. The
specified protection rating can not be guaranteed if this is not observed.
For UL applications:
►To connect the IO-Link master and the IO-Link devices, only use UL-certified cables of the
CYJV or PVVA category with a minimum temperature of 80 °C (75 °C in case of maximum
ambient temperature of 40 °C).
Wiring: →Technical data (→p. 88)
By means of basic insulation according to EN61010-1, the circuits are separated from each other and
from device surfaces that could be touched (secondary circuit with 30 V DC maximum, supplied from
mains circuit up to 300 V overvoltage category II).
By means of basic insulation according to EN61010-1, the communication interfaces are separated
from each other and from device surfaces that could be touched (secondary circuit with 30 V DC
maximum, supplied from mains circuit up to 300 V overvoltage category II). They are designed for
network environment 0 according to IEC TR62102.

6.4.2 Connecting IO-Link devices for Class B operation 51960
Notes on wiring:
•For Class B operation, the IO-Link device must be supplied with an additional auxiliary voltage UA
using a Y connection cable.
WARNING
Non-compliance with the electrical separation of the circuits
>Risk of fire!
►Ensure that the external supply UA is galvanically separated from the circuit of the
IO-Link Master by assuring basic insulation (according to IEC 61010-1, secondary circuit
with 30 V DC maximum, supplied from mains circuit up to 300 V of overvoltage category
II).
►Ensure that the IO-Link devices and the connection technology support the galvanic
separation.
In case of operation as port class B, the additional digital input of the IO-Link port (pin 2) is not
available!
►Connect the connectors of the IO-Link devices via a Y
connection cable with the M12 sockets of the IO-Link ports
X01...X04.
►Connect the Y cable to 24 V DC (20...30 V SELV/PELV)
►To connect the devices, use M12 connectors with protection
rating IP 65 / IP 66 / IP 67 or higher (→Accessories (→p. 86))!

with maximum 30 V DC supplied by mains circuit up to 300 V of
overvoltage category II).
▪Maximum cable length: 25 m
►To connect the device, use M12 connectors with protection rating IP
65 / IP 66 / IP 67 or higher (→Accessories (→p. 86)).
When using cable length greater than 25 m keep in mind the voltage drop as well as the
required minimum voltage supply of 20 V!
