Glossary

In addition to connecting IO-Link devices (Class A and/or Class B) to the ASi modules with integrated IO-Link masters, it is possible to process additional digital and/or analog I/O signals, depending on the design and configuration.

C/Q (configurable IO-Link ports): The C/Q connections (pin 4) of the IO-Link masters Class A and Class B can optionally be configured for IO-Link communication, as digital inputs or as digital outputs.

I/O (self-configuring digital inputs/outputs): The I/O connections (pin 2) of the IO-Link masters Class A are self-configuring connections that can optionally be used as additional digital inputs and/or digital outputs.

I (digital inputs): The I connections (pin 2) of the IO-Link masters Class A can be used as additional digital inputs.

AI (analog inputs): The I Sig+/24V connections of the IO-Link master Class A can be used as additional analog inputs (e.g. 4 ... 20 mA).
