integrated IODD storage for over 100 IODDs. Other features include: ■ The PortVision® DX software supports network configuration, device management, and settings cloning/backup in one application. ■ All module settings can be saved as a separate file and transferred to a new device using the cloning function to speed deployments. ■ Block models have two L-coded M12 power connector plugs rated for 16 A. The inputs and outputs have A-coded M12 connector plugs, and connection to the field bus is made through D-coded M12 connector plugs. ■ DIN rail models are available with screw terminals or pluggable push-in connectors. ■ Degrees of protection: Block models are IP67 rated, and DIN rail models are rated for IP20 (Figure 4). Exemplary IO-Link masters with OPC UA MultiLink include: ■ The ICE2-8IOL1-G65L-V1D is a block-style EtherNet/IP and Modbus IO-Link master with four IO-Link Class A ports that can provide up to 200 mA of power for connected devices and four IO-Link Class B ports for higher- power devices with their own independent power source.

■ The ICE2-8IOL-K45P-RJ45 is a DIN rail-style EtherNet/IP IO- Link master with eight inputs/ outputs and push-in connectors. ■ The ICE3-8IOL1-G65L-V1D is a block-style PROFINET and Modbus IO-Link master with 4 IO-Link Class A and 4 IO-Link Class B ports. ■ The ICE3-8IOL-K45S-RJ45 is a DIN rail style PROFINET IO IO- Link master with eight inputs/ outputs and screw terminals.
Hubs & converters for network expansion IO-Link hubs support expanding networks of sensors, actuators, and other devices. IO-Link hubs allow several digital sensors and actuators to be connected to an IO-Link master using a standard sensor cable. For example, the ICA-16DI-G60A-IO IO- Link hub can handle up to 16 PNP digital inputs, and the logic level can be configured individually for each port. Depending on the capability of
