The following IO-Link functions:
• IO-Link master (IO-Link revision 1.0 and 1.1)
• 8 IO-Link ports for connection of IO-Link devices
• Provision of process data of the connected IO-Link devices for LR
SMARTOBSERVER monitoring software (→ www.norgren.com)
The device has 8 supplies for IO-Link devices (sensors, actuators).
The X1...X4 ports are class B ports. The ports X5...X8 are Ports Class A.
The pin 2 (UA) of the X1...X4 ports supports different operating modes
(disconnected from power, supply voltage UA, digital output).
The current intensity of the supply voltages US and UA of the X1...X4 ports can be adjusted.
The current intensity of the supply voltage US of the ports X5...X8 can be set.
Every supply provides short circuit monitoring.
The device ensures ire protection for connected IO-Link devices by providing an energy-
limited circuit at the ports (according to IEC61010-1 and Class 2 to UL1310).
The device has 4 additional digital inputs (type 2 according to EN 61131-2).
The digital inputs are on pin 2 of the ports X5...X8.
All inputs refer to the potential of the device supply (pin 3).
The device has 4 digital outputs that can be activated as an option (switching output DC-13 according to IEC 60947-5-1, 20 W).
The digital outputs are connected to pin 2 of the X1...X4 ports.
The digital outputs are supplied with the UA voltage. They refer to the potential of UA (pin 5).
The device has a voltage output (XD2) to supply an additional device. This makes it possible to
supply several Norgren NC range devices with one voltage source (daisy chain).

A qualiied 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 IP rating of the overall system depends on the protection ratings of the individual
devices, the applied connection elements and the corresponding protective caps.
Provide cables with a strain relief depending on the mounting conditions to avoid ex-
cessive strain on the installation points and the M12 connections.
Ensure correct it and proper assembly of the M12 connecting parts. If these instruc-
tions are not complied with, the speciied protection rating cannot be guaranteed.
For UL applications:
To connect the IO-Link master and the IO-Link devices, only use UL-certiied cables of the CYJV or PVVA cat-
egory with a minimum temperature of 80 °C (75 °C in case of maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C).
Wiring: → Technical data (→ S. 53)
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).

§ Tightening torque: 0.6. 0.8 Nm
§ Recommended maximum cable length: 25 m
► To connect the device, use L-coded M12 connectors with at least
protection rating IP 65 / IP 66 / IP 67 (→Accessories (→S. 51)).
In case of cables that are longer than 25 m, take the voltage drop and the necessary minimum
supply voltage of 20 V into consideration!
CAUTION
Exceeding the maximum input current of 12 A
Fire hazard
Select IU and IA of the power supplies US and UA taking into account the derating
characteristics of the NC-MP-4A4B-12DLA (→Derating behavior (→S. 54))!
