NX-series IO-Link Master Unit NX-ILM400 CSM NX-ILM400 DS E 1 2 IO-Link makes sensor level information visible and solves the three major issues at manufacturing sites The screwless clamping terminal block reduces wiring work. Downtime can be reduced. Notifies you of faulty parts and such phenomena in the Sensor in real time. The frequency of sudden failure can be decreased. Condition monitoring of sensors and equipment to prevent troubles. The efficiency of changeover can be improved. Corresponding to our shared Value Design for Panel concept for the specifications of products The batch check for individual sensor IDs significantly decreases commissioning time. Features The host controller can cyclically read control signals, status*1, wiring, and power supply status of IO-Link sensors. Because an IO-Link System can cyclically read analog data such as the amount of incident light in addition to ON/OFF information, it can be used for predictive maintenance based on detection of such things as decreases in the amount of light. User-specified data in IO-Link devices can be read and written from the host controller when necessary. Digital signals can be input rapidly from IO-Link sensors*2 during IO-Link communications. IO-Link sensors can be combined with non-IO-Link sensors. Incorrect connections of IO-Link sensors can be checked when IO-Link communications start. Backup and restoration of IO-Link device parameters make replacement of IO-Link sensors easier. IO-Link sensors can be easily replaced with non-IO-Link sensors without changing the data address settings.*3 Sensors can report their errors to the master, which facilitates locating errors from the host. The total number of retries in cyclic communications can be recorded. You can use this value to check for the influences of noise and other problems. (When EtherCAT is used as the host communication interface) Up to four sensors can be connected. *1. Examples for Photoelectric Sensors: Instability detection and sensor errors *2. IO-Link sensors that support digital inputs that use pin 2 of IO-Link Master Unit ports *3. Bit data of IO-Link sensor can be reflected in the address of the digital input data by using digital input collection. This function is supported with the unit version 1.1 or later.
