3.4 Application as an IO-Link device
3.4.1 General information
The device has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link-
capable module (IO-Link master)�
The IO-Link interface allows direct access to the process and diagnostic data and
enables setting of the parameters of the unit during operation�
It is possible to set parameters via a point-to-point connection� You will find further
information about IO-Link and all necessary information about the required IO-Link
hardware and software at:

Application example with IO-Link master
1: Analogue sensor (e�g� pressure sensor)
2: Threshold display
3: Fully bidirectional IO-Link communication
- Remote display: reading and displaying
the measured current
- Remote parameter setting: reading and
changing the parameter setting�
4: Looping through an analogue input
signal
5: IO-Link master
6: Fieldbus (e.g. Probus, Pronet etc.)
7: PLC
