3 Intended use
The device is used for the control of a connected actuator or another device with analogue input (4...20 mA). The device has two analogue current outputs. It operates as an "IO-Link / analogue converter".

Fig. 1: Inputs/outputs of the device
The device is suited for wet environments. Observe instructions in chapters "Installation" and "Electrical connection".
The unit is not suited for environments with particular requirements on mechanical stability (e.g. shock/vibration).
The unit is intended for indoor use only.
▶ Observe the operating conditions ( → Technical data at www.ifm.com).
4 Function
The device converts IO-Link signals into analogue current values (4...20 mA).
The current values to be provided can be set via IO-Link communication using IO-Link tools or a PLC.
4.1 Application as an IO-Link device
4.1.1 General information
The unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link capable module (IO-Link master).
The IO-Link interface allows direct access to the process and diagnostic data and enables setting of the parameters of the unit during operation.
You will find further information about IO-Link and all the necessary information about the required IO-Link hardware and software at:

5 Installation
ATTENTION
Higher shock ≥ IK06
▷ Damage possible
▷ Protection rating and, in wet environments, electrical protection might be impaired
▶ If necessary, the system creator must take external measures to protect the device depending on the requirements of the corresponding application.
▶ Replace damaged devices, otherwise the technical data and safety will be impaired.
The IP rating of the overall system depends on the protection ratings of the individual devices, the applied connection elements and the corresponding protective caps.
ATTENTION
No protection rating / no protection of the contacts without mounted connectors / protective caps.
▷ Inadmissible soiling / moisture possible.
▷ Disconnection of circuits / safety possibly impaired.
▷ Before installation / when replacing the device, maintain pollution degree 2.
▶ Disconnection / safety guaranteed.
▶ Connect the M12 connectors of the device ( → Electrical connection).
▶ Install the device so that the M12 connection parts and the device are protected from mechanical stress such as shock and vibration.
▶ If necessary, fix the device with cable ties.

The following applies to all types of mounting:
The responsibility for the compliance with the requirements concerning mounting of the device in the application with regard to shock, vibration, acceleration and weight lies with the system architect.
6 Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician.
▶ Observe the national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment.

CAUTION
Use in wet environments
▷ Electric shock possible.
▶ Voltage derating required ( → Technical data).
The input and output circuits are insulated from each other and from device surfaces that could be touched with basic insulation according to IEC 61010-1 (secondary circuit with max. 32 V DC, supplied from the mains circuit up to 300 V of overvoltage category II).
The external wiring has to be carried out in a way that ensures the required separation from other circuits.
6.1 Input side
Operating voltage (SELV/PELV)

CAUTION
The input current of the operating voltage is not limited.
▷ No fire protection.
▶ Protect the circuit.
▶ Protect the sensor supply via the same fuse.
| Potential | M12 connector 1 | Fuse |
| L+ / supply voltage | Pin 1 | ≤ 2 A |
| C/Q IO-Link (if not protected via IO-Link master) | Pin 4 | ≤ 2 A |
Required tripping characteristic of the fuses:
Tfuse ≤ 120 s at max. 6.25 A (fire protection)
▶ Alternatively supply the device via a limited energy circuit according to IEC 61010-1 or class 2 according to UL1310.
6.2 Connecting the device
▶ Disconnect power.
▶ Connect the unit as follows:
