4-Port IO-Link Master

Increasingly complex products, manufacturing flexibility and high demands on quality assurance require intelligent, configurable and programmable sensors. To fulfill these demands, IO-Link streamlines the varying interfaces required to connect to a control system and tooling. A 3-wire connection can communicate process data (as single bits, bytes and data blocks for input and output data). It also communicates acyclic data (for identification, configuration, parameterization and diagnostics) with up to 230.4 kBaud to both sensors and actuators. The functions and performance data are defined via device description files for the IO-Link devices and can be easily customized via WAGO-I/O-CHECK or the WAGO IO-Link Configurator. If a device must be replaced, the configuration and parameterization can be automatically restored without maintenance personnel. This makes project design, installation and operation considerably simpler! The module meets the IO-Link test specification V1.1.3 from January 2021. Four different IO-Link devices, or even digital standard sensors/actuators, can connect to the WAGO 750-1657 IO-Link Master simultaneously. At just 12 mm (0.47 inch) wide, the module has three connections for each of the four channels.
