3 Functions and features
The IO-Link data splitter E434xx allows decoupling of sensor information via
an IO-Link master without having to change the existing plant configuration or
controller�
The decoupled sensor information (e�g� switching output signals or analogue
values) can, for example, be recorded and evaluated in a cloud application.
Connection to or disconnection from the IO-Link master is possible at any time
without influencing the active machine functionality�
On delivery the data splitter is immediately ready for operation
(plug & play) for many applications (→ 8)�
On delivery only read access is possible (→ 4.2)�
The device can be configured for write access (→ 8)�
Sensors with pulse or frequency output on OUT1 (pin 4) are not supported.
►Check if the signal generated by the sensor is also provided via IO-Link�
►Check if the IO-Link transmission speed is fast enough for the
application (for example in case of very rapid switching frequencies)
→ Technical data sheet.
3.1 Application area
The device is suitable for use in industrial applications�
The connected sensor / actuator (→ Fig. 4.1) must have IO-Link
functionality�
For system integration the Y cable EVC843 is required (→ Accessories).

4 Function
4.1 System integration
The prerequisite is a conventional sensor / actuator system without IO-Link that
consists of a sensor / actuator and a respective counterpart:
SIO

SIO = standard input-output mode; conventional switching mode

The data splitter is installed using a Y cable between the sensor / actuator and the
controller:

2: Controller / installation 5: IO-Link master
3: Y cable (EVC843)
In the configuration of fig. 4.2 the data splitter (4) switches the IO-Link device
(1) initially operated in the SIO mode to the IO-Link mode, connecting the newly
established IO-Link communication to the IO-Link master (5).

7
UK
At the same time the data splitter (4) provides again all initial SIO signals of the
sensor (1) to the controller / installation (2) so that the actual control task remains
unchanged�
The SIO signals are generated even without connected IO-Link master (5) or
active communication with the master so that the initial control task is carried out
at any time�
It is now possible to read process and diagnostic data or to configure the sensor
via the IO-Link master irrespective of the control task�
4.2 Write protection against unauthorised access
When the device is delivered the IO-Link master ((5) in fig. 4.2) only allows read
access to the connected IO-Link device (1). Write access is not possible until the
write protection has been removed�
To remove write protection:
►Connect and configure the device according to fig� 8�1 (→ 8)�
4.3 IO-Link
This device has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link
capable module (IO-Link master) for operation.
The IO-Link interface allows direct access to process and diagnostic data (→ 4.1)�
Furthermore, communication with a USB IO-Link master is possible via a
point-to-point connection (→ 8)�
The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the data splitter and the connected
IO-Link device, detailed information about process data structure, diagnostic
information, parameter addresses and the necessary information about the
required hardware and software can be found at www�ifm�com�
5 Installation

Pin 2 and pin 5 of the IO-Link device (connection (3) (→ 6)) are connected
through to the installation side (4) in the Y cable EVC843. So for IO-Link
devices with a signal on pin 2 (e�g� second switching output or analogue
output) this signal is passed on unchanged to the installation.
Connections (1) and (2) of the data splitter are electrically isolated (A).

8 Parameter setting
To set the device parameters an IODD (IO Device Description) is needed.
More information: (→ 4.3)
For many applications the data splitter is ready for operation on delivery
(plug & play).
For connected IO-Link devices that support the automatic output
configuration (e�g� devices to the IO-Link smart sensor profile, switching
type) the data splitter does not need to be configured.
For operation on an IO-Link device that does not support the automatic
output configuration (→ 9.1) or if for example write protection is to be
removed the device must first be configured� To do so, the device has to be
connected according to fig� 8�1�

During parameter setting no IO-Link device must be connected to the
Y cable (1).
► Connect the data splitter (2) to an IO-Link master (3) via the Y cable (1).
► Connect the IO-Link master (3) to a PC (4).
►For parameter setting use an IO-Link capable software (→ Accessories).
►If necessary, download the IODD of the data splitter and integrate it in the
parameter setting tool used�

9.2 Delay times
Because of the data splitter the response time for the switching output OUT1
slightly increases by the IO-Link process cycle time�
Example:
A sensor has a response time of e�g� approx� 100 ms� By switching to the IO-Link
mode this time is increased by the IO-Link process cycle time of e�g� 2�3 ms
(depends on the device, → Technical data of the connected IO-Link components).
So the total response time is approx� 102�3 ms�
