SIRIUS 3UG48 monitoring relays for stand-alone installation for IO-Link
General data

■
Benefits
•
Simple cyclical transmission of the current measured values,
relay switching states and events to a controller
•
Remote parameterization
•
Automatic reparameterizing when devices are exchanged
•
Simple duplication of identical or similar parameterizations
•
Reduction of control current wiring
•
Elimination of testing costs and wiring errors
•
Reduction of configuration work
•
Integration in TIA means clear diagnostics if a fault occurs
•
Cost saving and space saving in control cabinet due to the
elimination of AI and IO modules as well as analog signal
converters and duplicated sensors
■
Application
The use of SIRIUS monitoring relays for IO-Link is particularly
recommended for machines and plant in which these relays, in
addition to their monitoring function, are to be connected to the
automation level for the rapid, simple and fault-free provision of
the current measured values and/or for remote parameterization.
The monitoring relays can either relieve the controller of monitor-
ing tasks or, as a second monitoring entity in parallel to and in-
dependent of the controller, increase the reliability in the process
or in the system. In addition, the elimination of AI and IO modules
allows the width of the controller to be reduced despite signifi-
cantly expanded functionality.

Notes on safety:
System networking requires suitable protective measures
(including network segmentation for IT security) in order to
ensure safe plant operation.
