3. Product Overview
The IO-Link master establishes the connection between the IO-Link device and the
automation system. As an integral part of the I/O system, the IO-Link master station is
either installed in the control cabinet, or directly installed on site as a remote I/O, and
its encapsulation level is IP65/67.
❖Designed for industrial environments, it is a system applied to automated lines.
❖Compact structure, suitable for usage scenarios with limited installation conditions.
❖IP67 high protection level, anti-interference design, suitable for demanding application
environments.
As a special reminder, IP rating is not part of UL certification.

To prevent product malfunction, malfunction, or negative impact on
performance and equipment, please observe the following items.
5.1.1 Installation Site
Please avoid installing near devices with high heat dissipation
(heaters, transformers, large-capacity resistors, etc.)
Please avoid installing it near equipment with serious
electromagnetic
interference (large motors, transformers, transceivers,
frequency converters, switching power supplies, etc.).
This product uses PN communication.
Radio waves (noise) generated .
by transceivers, motors, inverters, switching power supplies, etc.
may affect the communication between the product and other
modules.
When these devices are around,
