IFM E30398 is an IO-Link memory plug designed to store and transfer parameter settings for compatible IO-Link sensors. It simplifies sensor replacement and commissioning by allowing parameter data to be automatically copied between compatible devices. The memory plug can store a parameter set and communicate with the connected IO-Link sensor. It supports IO-Link Revision 1.1 and COM2 communication at 38.4 kBaud. The unit operates from 18–32 V DC and provides up to 2 Kbytes of storage capacity. Its compact M12 connection and IP65/IP67 protection make it suitable for industrial automation environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The main function of E30398 is to save sensor parameter settings and transfer them when required. When used with a compatible IO-Link device, it can read the parameter set and store it in its internal memory. The stored parameters can then be transferred to another compatible sensor. This helps reduce manual reconfiguration during sensor replacement. It can therefore simplify maintenance operations and help reduce configuration errors during machine servicing.
The memory plug operates as an IO-Link accessory and supports IO-Link Revision 1.1. It supports COM2 communication at 38.4 kBaud and uses an M12 connection for integration with compatible sensor systems. The unit is designed for parameter data rather than conventional analogue measurement. It can be used with suitable IO-Link sensors and IO-Link master or parameterisation systems. The device therefore provides a practical method for managing sensor configuration data within automated systems.
The E30398 is designed for industrial environments and provides IP65/IP67 protection. It uses PA PACM 12 and PET materials, with a TPU moulded body and stainless-steel locking arrangement. The unit operates within an ambient temperature range of -25 to 60°C and a storage temperature range of -40 to 85°C. Two green LEDs provide operating indication. These features support convenient installation and status monitoring in industrial automation applications.
