EIO344

Bluetooth Mesh adapter

4 Connection possibilities

The EIO344 offers several connection options which include, among others, various

functions.

4.1 IO-Link connection and outputs

This unit has two IO-Link communication interfaces.

M12 connector:

• Power supply

• Output pin 2 (looped through from sensor) and digital output pin 4

• Pin 4 for parameter setting with an IO-Link software for the device side (reset, Ou1, events, history)

M12 socket

• Input for interaction with an IO-Link device.

IO-Link is an internationally standardised IO technology (IEC 61131-9) for communicating with

sensors and actuators.

General information about IO-Link can be found at io-link.ifm.

IO Device Description (IODD) with all parameters and process data of the unit can be

found at

documentation.ifm.com.

4.2 Bluetooth

Using a mobile device the following functions are supported:

• Parameter setting of the M12 socket to the IO-Link device

• Parameter setting of the IO-Link device

• Input for parameter setting with an IO-Link software for the device side

M12 socket:

• Input for interaction with an IO-Link device

4.3 Bluetooth Mesh

After setting up the Bluetooth Mesh, the EIO344 independently establishes the connection

to a base station (EIO404). The connection can be made directly to the base station or via

several EIO344 Bluetooth Mesh adapters.

Cyclical process data is transmitted to the base station at a time interval of 2-4s. With

moneo on a PC or notebook, this process data can be read at the base station and the plant

can be monitored.
