1 Notes to the user

1.1 About this guide This guide describes the Balluff IO-Link sensor collector module, also called the Sensor Hub.
Connection to the host interface master is made through the IO-Link protocol.
Functionally this compact, cost-effective module is comparable with a passive splitter box: It
takes conventional sensor signals and passes them over the IO-Link interface.

1.2 Structure of the The Guide is organized so that the sections build on one another.
guide Section 2:  Basic safety information.
Section 3:  The main steps for installing the device.
Section  4:  IO-Link, parameter and process data for the device.
Section  5:  Technical data for the device.

1.3 Typographical The following typographical conventions are used in this Guide.

2 Safety

2.1 Intended use The BNI IOL-… is a decentralized sensor input module which is connected to a host IO-Link
master over an IO-Link interface.

2.2 General safety Installation and startup

notes Installation and startup are to be performed only by trained specialists. Any damage resulting
from unauthorized manipulation or improper use voids the manufacturer's guarantee and war-
ranty.
The device is an equipment in accordance with EMC Class A. Such equipment may generate RF
noise. The operator must take precautionary measures accordingly.
The device must be powered only using an approved power supply (see Section 5 „Technical
Data“). Only approved cables may be used.

Operation and testing

The operator is responsible for observing local prevailing safety regulations.
When defects and non-clearable faults in the device occur, take it out of service and secure
against unauthorized use.
Approved use is ensured only when the housing is fully installed.

2.3 Meaning of the Note!

warnings The pictogram used with the word "Caution" warns of a possible hazardous situation
affecting the health of persons or equipment damage. Ignoring these warnings can
result in injury or equipment damage.
► Always observe the described measures for preventing this danger.
