In the standard setting, the EL6224 functions as a 4-channel input terminal, 24 V DC, which communicates with connected IO-Link devices, parameterises them and, if necessary, changes their operating mode.
So far, the EL6224 has been manufactured in the standard housing with eight connection points. Integration into the HD housing with 16 connection points now enables each IO-Link device to be operated in 2-wire connection mode (so-called physics 1) or 3-wire connection mode (so-called physics 2). The direct plug-in technique enables toolless construction.
