Product Overview
The 856T-B24LC module allows the control and configuration of a standard
856T stack light via the IO-link protocol. This configuration helps your save
time and money in wiring, commissioning, and startup of the entire stack
light while providing access to valuable real-time diagnostics and prognostic
information.
Operation Modes The 856T-B24LC module is compatible with the current light and sound
modules that are offered in the standard 856T product line. The 856T-B24LC
module is capable to control up to seven modules in the stack light
arrangement. The maximum number of light and sound modules in a stack
light configuration depends on the number of circuits that are used
individually by the specific light or sound module (up to seven per 856T-B24LC
module). A summary of all 856T light and sound modules that can be controlled
with the 856T-B24LC module is shown in Table 12 on page 55
.

IO-Link Features • Built-in counters to allow you to know the number of times a specific
module has been turned ON.
• Operation hours since inception and since powerup that can help you
correlate machine availability.
• Vibration indication to alert you about unusual mechanical behavior
when the IO-Link module detects vibration above certain threshold
values.
• Class A and Class B voltage monitoring
• Short-circuit detection to help protect the circuitry of the device and the
master from a light or sound module short circuit.
• Open load condition useful to indicate when light or sound modules in
the stack light have not been properly installed.
• Premier integration design that enables configuration via the
Rockwell Automation® IO-Link master Add-on Profile.
• Automatic Device Configuration that helps you replace the device
quicker, if necessary.
