The IFM E43406 is an IO-Link data splitter designed to forward IO-Link communication while providing an additional PNP switching output. It operates from an 18–30 V DC supply and supports IO-Link devices with COM1, COM2 and COM3 transmission types. Its IP67 protection makes it suitable for decentralized industrial automation installations.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E43406 provides a practical method of integrating IO-Link devices into existing automation systems. It forwards the IO-Link signal while generating an additional switching signal for conventional control requirements.
The device accepts an IO-Link device input and provides an IO-Link connection together with one digital output. The PNP output allows an additional switching signal to be integrated into the automation system.
The E43406 operates from 18–30 V DC and has reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection on the master side. Current consumption is less than 30 mA, while IP67 protection supports reliable decentralized installation.
The data splitter is suitable for industrial automation systems where existing IO-Link signals need to be supplemented with an additional switching signal. It can simplify integration between smart sensors, IO-Link masters and conventional PLC inputs.
