3.1 Mounting
To mount on the DIN rail:
1. Place the device on to the DIN rail from above (1), so that the upper housing keyway
hooks on to the top edge of the DIN rail.
2. Hold the device by the housing cover and carefully push the device toward the
mounting surface (2).
3. After the foot is snapped on to the DIN rail, verify that it is attached securely.
Figure 3-1 DIN rail mounting
To remove:
1. Use a suitable screwdriver to release the locking mechanism (1) on the snap-on foot of
the device.
2. Hold on to the device by the housing cover and carefully tilt it upward (2).
3. Remove the device from the DIN rail (3).

3.2 Data interfaces
3.2.1 Connecting the Ethernet cable
The IOL MA8 PN DI8 has an Ethernet interface on the front in RJ45 format, to which only
twisted-pair cables with an impedance of 100 Ωcan be connected. The data transmission
rate is either 10 or 100 Mbps. The IOL MA8 PN DI8 supports the auto negotiation function
for automatic selection of the transmission speed, as well as an automatic crossover feature
for the automatic selection of line or crossover cabling.
Push the Ethernet cable with the crimped RJ45 connector into the IOL MA8 PN DI8 until it
engages with a click.
The IOL MA8 PN DI8 Ethernet interface is classified as a switch. The maximum number of
daisy-chained IOL MA8 PN DI8 units, and the maximum distance between units, is based
on the Ethernet standards and is determined by the environment and conformity of the
network to these standards. There may be some performance degradation on the devices
at the end of the chain, so it is recommended to overload and test for performance in the
environment. The application may also limit the total number of ports that may be installed.
Some basic guidelines are listed below.
– Ethernet 10Base-T rules
– The maximum number of repeater segments is four.
– Use Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair 10Base-T cables. The maximum length of each
cable is 100 m.
– Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX rules
– The maximum number of repeater segments is two (for a Class II hub). A Class II
hub can be connected directly to one other Class II Fast Ethernet hub. A Class I hub
cannot be connected directly to another Fast Ethernet hub.
– CAT5 or greater twisted-pair cable must be used. The maximum length of each
twisted-pair cable is 100 m.
– The total length of twisted-pair cabling (across directly connected hubs) must not
exceed 205 m.
– IEEE 802.3 specification: A network using repeaters between communicating stations
(PCs) is subject to the 5-4-3 rule of repeater placement on the network:
– Five segments connected on the network.
– Four repeaters.
– Three segments of the fiber segments can have stations connected. The other two
segments must be inter-repeater link segments with no stations connected.

3.3 Connecting the power supply
The device can be connected to a single power source or two power sources for
redundancy. The IOL MA8 PN DI8 is powered using a +24 V DC SELV power supply. The
power supply is connected by way of push-in terminal blocks (24 V and 0 V).
Figure 3-3 Single power supply connection
Figure 3-4 Redundant power supply connection
CAUTION:
Incorrect connection may result in damage to equipment and/or serious personal injury.
Only qualified personnel may connect the power, start up, and operate this device.
According to the safety instructions in this text, qualified personnel are persons who are
authorized to start up, to ground, and to mark devices, systems, and equipment according
to the standards of safety technology. In addition, these persons must be familiar with all
warning instructions and maintenance measures in this text.
Disregarding this warning may result in damage to equipment and/or serious personal
injury.

4.1 Default settings
The default network settings of the IOL MA8 PN DI8 are:
IP address: 192.168.254.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
4.2 Web-based management
The user-friendly, web-based graphical user interface (GUI) allows management of the IOL
MA8 PN DI8 from anywhere in the network using a standard browser. Comprehensive
configuration and diagnostic functions, including a wide range of information about the
device itself, current parameters, and operating state, are clearly displayed.
Terminology for the GUI is shown below.

4.2.1 Login
To log in:
1. Set the IP address of the connected PC to the subnetwork of the IOL MA8 PN DI8. For
example:
IP = 192.168.254.10
Subnetwork = 255.255.255.0
2. Open a browser and enter the IP address of the IOL MA8 PN DI8 in the “Address” field
(default = 192.168.254.254).
Figure 4-2 “Login” screen
The web server responds immediately.
3. By default, a user name and password are not required. If user accounts have been
configured (see “Accounts” on page 55), enter the appropriate values in the
corresponding fields to log in.
4. Complete the IOL MA8 PN DI8 configuration as necessary for the application.
– Set the IP address (see “LAN settings” on page 47).
– Load the appropriate IODD files (see “IODD files” on page 60).
– Configure the IO-Link ports (see “IO-Link configuration” on page 31).
If the web server does not load, first check the IP parameters of the PC. If everything is set
correctly, check to see if there are any proxy settings loaded in the browser. The proxy
setting must be set to “Load automatically” or “Deactivated” to properly establish
communication.
Powering multiple devices with factory default IP addresses causes a network conflict, and
incorrect parameters may be set in the IOL MA8 PN DI8 modules. When programming
modules for the first time, it is important to apply power to only one at a time, and change
the IP address of each module to a unique IP address. Once all devices have a unique IP
address, they can be powered on together while on the same network.
