the connected IO-Link master, this hub can deliver up to 500 mA of power to connected devices. It’s rated for IP65, IP67 and IP69K. When a sensor with an analog output needs to be connected to an IO-Link network, designers can turn to the ICA-AI-I/U-IO-V1 IO-Link converter with an analog input for current or voltage and an IO-Link output. It’s rated for IP67, and the input can be set as follows: ■ Current input can be set as 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA. ■ Voltage input can be set as -10 to 10 V or 0 to 10 V.
