A gateway that seamlessly connects EtherCAT and IO-Link with the industry's smallest class of Chibi Maru-kun.
■ Product Overview: A compact EtherCAT-compatible ultra-small IO-Link gateway unit, measuring approximately 5cm x 6cm, which condenses high functionality into a body smaller than a business card. ■ Basic Performance: Equipped with 16 channels of IO-Link interface type A in a single unit, seamlessly integrating various intelligent sensors on-site into EtherCAT. ■ Specifications & Wiring: Utilizes a push-in type 24-pin high-density terminal block connector for external connections, allowing for secure wiring without the need for tools. ■ Control & Function: Each channel can switch between IO-Link communication and SIO mode, which operates as general DI/DO, accommodating mixed NPN/PNP input/output control. Additionally, it is equipped with a convenient data storage function. ■ Implementation Benefits: Significantly contributes to reducing wiring, saving space, and advancing smart factory (IoT) capabilities in manufacturing environments.

Applications/Examples of results
■ A purpose to consolidate up to 16 types of IO-Link devices such as displacement sensors, pressure sensors, photoelectric sensors, and distance sensors operating in a factory into a single ultra-compact unit, streamlining to the upper system. ■ A distributed wiring system for small devices and mountings where not only IO-Link devices but also conventional NPN/PNP specification general-purpose proximity sensors, switches, and valves are mixed in complexity. ■ A site aiming to dramatically reduce maintenance downtime by eliminating manual settings and adjustments by field workers using a function that automatically rewrites setting data during sensor replacement. ■ A purpose to lay out in narrow spaces such as the base of movable arms of devices or small relay boxes, utilizing the "Chibi Maru-kun" shape with a width of only about 5 cm, push-in terminal blocks, and DIN rail mounting structure. ■ An IoT application that combines a dedicated setting PC tool to pre-configure and remotely monitor the unique information of each sensor and the internal status and abnormal diagnosis of the devices. ■ Incorporating pulse transformer insulation and robust anti-static and burst noise performance (compliant with international standard level 3) into harsh manufacturing processes where inverters and high-voltage power lines are densely packed.
