Precautions for using IO-Link

Power Capacity of Connected Devices

The power capacity of IO-Link devices is 0.2 A or less in current consumption due to their specifications.
Therefore, the IO-Link Master also cannot connect to devices that exceed 0.2 A per point.

Since the IO-Link Master can be connected to devices other than IO-Link devices, be sure to check the current consumption of the connected devices.
Particular attention should be paid when connecting to motors and actuators. When connecting to a device that exceeds 0.2 A, it is necessary to take countermeasures such as supplying power from another power source separately. (Port Class B can be connected to high-capacity devices.)

Also note that when connecting multiple devices to the IO-Link master.
Each point can be connected to 0.2 A devices, but there is a specification of up to 2.5 A for 16 devices.
*If 16 0.2 A devices were connected, the result would be 0.2 A x 16 devices = 3.2 A, which exceeds 2.5 A.
