1. Introduction & basics

Balluff has a huge portfolio of specific connection cables, adapters, adapter cables, Y-distributors and splitters.
This Technote provides an overview of when and how these can be used in applications.

3. Network technology

3.1. Type -731: Jumper from pin 1 to pin 2 in connection socket

Purple clip for identification

Application:

Case 1: BNI IO-Link master without power supply UA on pin 2

Case 2: BNI00C7 signal converter with 2-wire PT100/1000

Case 3: With cascaded hubs, the outputs of the first IO hub can be selectively switched off with UA, the outputs of the second could continue to be supplied via US

3.2. Type -U2106/-2077: IO-Link device with communication on pin 4 and pin 2

Use:

Case 1: Robot applications, combining two IO-Link signals on one side via standard splitters and distributing them again to two IO-Link ports via this splitter

Case 2:
