General Information

Introduction

The module is an IO-Link master that can be used to connect sensors and actuators (IO-Link devices) to the TM5 system in accordance with the IO-Link standard.

The TM5SE4IOL module requires the following bus couplers:
  • Operation with PacDrive controllers: TM5NS31 bus coupler via Sercos

  • Operation with M262 Logic/Motion controllers: TM5NS31 bus coupler via Sercos and/or TM5NEIP1 bus coupler via Ethernet/IP

Feature overview TM5SE4IOL:

  • Four IO-Link devices.

  • Four digital channels, which can be configured as input or output.

  • 24 Vdc and 0 V for sensor/actuator supply.

The four channels provided by the TM5SE4IOL module can be used as IO-Link channels or, in Standard Input Output (SIO) mode, as standard digital inputs or outputs, depending on the capabilities and configuration of the connected IO-Link devices.

The suitability of an IO-Link device for a given application depends, among other things, on the fieldbus cycle time, the bus task time, the bitrate of the IO-Link device, etc.

The IO-Link master module TM5SE4IOL must be operated with a bus base and a terminal block. Refer to Ordering Information for details.

Third-Party Sensors and Actuators

Third-party sensors and actuators can be connected to the IO-Link master module TM5SE4IOL. You must fully read and understand the documentation of the third-party sensors and actuators to be familiar with the I/O mapping of the sensors and actuators connected to the IO-Link master module TM5SE4IOL. The code you create to control third-party sensors and actuators via the IO-Link module is not verified by EcoStruxure Machine Expert.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Thoroughly read and understand the documentation of the third-party sensors and actuators.
  • Understand the I/O mapping of the sensors and actuators connected to the IO-Link master module TM5SE4IOL.
  • Individually and thoroughly test each implementation of the IO-Link master module TM5SE4IOL for proper operation before placing into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
