What is the B&R X67DS838A.L12?
8 IO-Link channels (port class A)
Each IO-Link channel can be configured as a digital input or output (SIO mode)
Additional digital input per IO-Link connection
24 VDC and GND for sensor/actuator power supply
NetTime timestamps: IO-Link data
The module is an IO-Link master that allows intelligent sensors and actuators to be connected per the IO-Link standard. The module can operate up to 8 IO-Link devices. All IO-Link channels can also be operated in SIO mode and thus used as digital inputs or outputs. The module is also equipped with 8 additional digital inputs that can be used independently of the configuration of the IO-Link channels.
