With inductive couplers, energy and data are transmitted contactlessly via an air gap. This makes mechanical plug contacts superfluous. If our bidirectional coupling system with IO-Link is used, the data can also be transmitted in both directions. Function=IO-Link signal transmission, signal form=bidirectional, transmission distance=0...5 mm, component=Base, interface=IO-Link 1.1, connection=plug connector, M12x1 connector, 4-pin, rated operating voltage Ue=24 VDC, housing material=PBTP, dimensions=40 x 40 x 62 mm, ambient temperature=-5...65 °C, protection class=IP67, transmission rate=COM2 (38.4 kBaud), additive cycle time=device + 2.0 ms, process data IN=0.32 bytes, process data OUT=0.32 bytes, SIO mode=yes
