5.1  Installation
For dimensions, see Fig. 4-1 on page8.
 ► Fasten the module with 2M6 screws and a maximum 
tightening torque of 3Nm using the mounting holes 
(see Fig. 4-2 on page8).
5.2  Electrical connection
Requirements for complying with the protection 
classes:
For IP67, all plugs and caps must be properly connected 
and the tightening torque of 0.6Nm must be observed 
(see data sheets of connectors and caps).
5.2.1  Power supply
NOTICE
Unwanted voltage dips
Non-separated electric circuits of the power supplies for 
sensor and actuator can lead to unwanted voltage dips 
of the sensor supply when switching actuators.
 ► Fuse the power supplies for sensors and actuators 
separately.
 ► Make sure that the power supply of the device is 
sufficiently dimensioned to cover start-up and peak 
currents and design the fuse protection concept 
accordingly.
–  Establish power supply of sensor/bus and 
actuator via a separate power source if possible.
–  The IO-Link master BNI _ G3-508-0C5-Z015 
cannot be supplied from the same power 
source as galvanically isolated devices such as 
BNI PNT-538-_ 05-Z063 (see Tab. 5-1).
–  The total current for the sensor and actuator 
supply must not exceed 9A each.
–  For UL: Observe cable requirements and power 
supply requirements (see chapter8.7.2 on 
page16)!
