Manufacturer I/O scope
16 total configurable I/O; 12 digital inputs and 12 digital outputs are configuration capabilities, not 24 simultaneously available channels. Four Class A and four Class B ports. IP69K requires stainless steel protective caps.
Sensor supply US scope
20–28 V DC; 3.6 A total; 2 A per port. Digital output current limit is separately 350 mA per US output; do not equate output and port supply ratings.
Actuator supply UA scope
20–28 V DC; 4 A total and 4 A per port. Total limit still applies.
Connector topology review scope
Page 4: IO-Link connector header says Contacts 4 while Class B pin 5 is assigned UA minus; Ethernet header says 2 x M12 while XF1/XF2 and XI1/XI2 are listed. Connector topology and pin count require further verification.
Housing depth review scope
Drawing depth 40.9 mm and mechanical table 24 mm may refer to different envelopes; do not infer interchangeable housing depth.
