The ED6224 EtherCAT Terminal enables connection of up to four IO-Link devices. These can be sensors, actuators, or combined devices. A point-to-point connection is used between the terminal and the device. The terminal is parameterized via the EtherCAT master. IO-Link serves as an intelligent link between the fieldbus levels and the sensors or actuators, allowing process and parameterization data to be exchanged bidirectionally.
The parameterization of the IO-Link devices with service data can be carried out from TwinCAT via ADS or very conveniently via the integrated IO-Link commissioning tool.
In the standard setting, the ED6224 functions as a 4-channel input terminal (24 V DC) which communicates if necessary with connected IO-Link devices, parameterizes them, and, if applicable, changes their operation mode. Due to the integration in the HD housing with 16 connection points, each IO-Link device can be operated in 3-wire connection mode.
Additional connection points for 24 V DC and 0 V DC can be implemented using the potential distribution terminals of the ED918x series.
The ED-series EtherCAT Terminals have push-in connection technology which makes wiring easy and tool-free.
