SIRIUS 4SI electronic module
Ideally suited to connecting SIRIUS Innovations products to IO-Link is the IO-Link master for
SIRIUS controls: the SIRIUS 4SI electronic module for SIMATIC ET 200S.
The SIRIUS 4SI electronic module facilitates the efficient and space-saving integration of IO-
Link-capable SIRIUS switching devices into the TIA world. It connects up to 16 SIRIUS load
feeders to the higher-level control environment.
