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
