Operation as independent IO-Link master with connected IO-Link devices. As an option, several
IO-Link masters can be coupled via the EtherNet/IP interfaces. If necessary, the IO-Link masters can
be coupled with the IT infrastructure via industrial Ethernet in order to enable monitoring of the process
data of the connected IO-Link devices.
