2.2 Axioline E product variants
The Axioline E product group includes devices with the following functions:
- DI Digital input devices acquire digital control signals from the process level. These signals are
transferred to the higher-level automation device via the network. The signal status is indi-
cated on the Axioline E device using LEDs. The sensors are connected via M12 screw con-
nectors. The sensors are supplied from the sensor voltage U
S
.
- DO Digital output devices transfer the digital control signals from the automation device to the
process level at the actuators. For the specified load currents for the outputs of various de-
vices, please refer to the data sheet. The signal status is indicated on the device using
LEDs. The actuators are connected via M12 screw connectors. The outputs are short-
circuit-proof and protected against overload. The actuators are supplied from the actuator
voltage U
A
(Exception DIO).
- DIO Digital I/O devices have digital inputs and digital outputs with the same properties as the
input and output devices. The inputs and outputs are freely configurable.
For the DIO de-
vices, the actuator supply is via U
S
.
- DI DO Digital I/O devices have digital inputs and digital outputs with the same properties as the
input and output devices.
- IOL These devices have IO-Link ports for communication-capable sensors and actuators.
IO-Link is a communication system for the connection of intelligent sensors and actuators
to an automation system.
IO-Link master The Axioline E product portfolio contains an IO-Link master for each of the networks listed
in chapter
2.1. The IO-Link master is versatile and is available as a plastic or metal variant.
The IO-Link master enables the operation of up to eight IO-Link sensors/actuators and is
also used to acquire digital signals. Together with the IO-Link/analog converters, the de-
vices allow flexible processing of the signal volume in the field installation.
Digital input and output
devices via IO-Link
The Axioline E product group is supplemented with IO-Link digital input and output devices.
These IO-Link devices solve the customer's request to capture or output various I/O signals
at a central point via IO-Link.
The Axioline E digital input device is connected to an IO-Link master via an IO-Link A port.
It is used to acquire digital signals via IO-Link.
The Axioline E digital input device is connected to an IO-Link master via an IO-Link B port.
It is used to output digital signals via IO-Link. Via the IO-Link master the use within different
networks is possible.
IO-Link/analog converter The IO-Link/analog converter is an IO-Link device that converts analog signals into the
IO-Link protocol. Depending on the version, it allows you to acquire the signals from analog
sensors via an IO-Link master or to transmit them to analog actuators.
You will find further information on IO-Link masters in the
Chapter
3 „Description of the Axioline E devices“ and in the corresponding data sheets.
