The X20DS438A with IP20 protection and the X67DS438A with IP67 protection for use outside the control cabinet each use IO-Link 1.1 to communicate digitally with four intelligent field devices

The X20DS438A with IP20 protection and the X67DS438A with IP67 protection for use outside the control cabinet each use IO-Link 1.1 to communicate digitally with four intelligent field devices. The IO-Link communication standard covers the final stretch from the I/O module to individual sensors and actuators. This bidirectional digital communication interface is used to exchange parameter data and diagnostic information, thus making it possible to integrate sensors and switching devices into the control level intelligently.
