SmartConnector (Form A and Form B) – IO-Link Enabled Valve Control Module
Advanced Solenoid Driver with Timer Modes, Diagnostics & RGB LED
Features & Benefits
Built-in Timer Functionality (Standard Mode)
Operates without IO-Link using predefined timers
Set Switch-On and Switch-Off times to automate valve actuation
Delivers full voltage during pull-in phase (up to 2000 ms), then switches to PWM mode for power savings
Ideal for systems without continuous PLC/IO-Link control
IO-Link Communication for Smart Automation
IO-Link V1.1 interface enables real-time process monitoring and remote configuration
Supports Class A IO-Link ports with 2.8 ms cycle time (COM2 speed)
Compact 3-pin M12 connector for plug-and-play setup
Live Diagnostics for Predictive Maintenance
Measures and reports:
Supply voltage Output current & resistance Power consumption Internal temperature Valve switching time
Dual switch cycle counters with warning thresholds help track lifespan of connected devices
Multicolor RGB LED with “Find Me” Mode
Assign custom LED colors for ON, OFF, and ALERT states
“Find Me” mode cycles LED through all 7 colors for easy identification during maintenance
Dual Operating Modes
IO-Link Mode: Full-featured control and diagnostics via master
Standard Mode: Operates as a self-contained smart driver with timer/PWM presets
Built-in Data Storage
Saves all configuration settings internally
Automatically transfers settings to replacement units — saving setup time and reducing downtime
