Operating Instructions

Bluetooth Mesh adapter

EIO344

3 Intended use

The EIO344 communicates via IO-Link with a sensor. Using Bluetooth and an APP, the

connected sensor can be read and written.

All available functions can be accessed via moneo|blue. The APP is available for Android

and IOS in the App Store.

The EIO344 also features a data storage function. This allows a defective sensor to be

replaced quickly.

In addition, the adapter loops through the switching or analogue output on pin 2 of the

sensor; the output can still be used as a control signal.

The switching output at pin 4 of the sensor is replicated automatically or manually by the

EIO344.

Several adapters can be connected to each other via the EIO404 base station.

See chapter 4.3.
