1.1 About this guide
This guide describes the Balluff IO-Link sensor collector module, also called Sensor hub.
Connection to the host interface master is made through the IO-Link protocol. Functionally
this compact, cost-effective module is comparable with a passive splitter box: It takes
conventional sensor signals and passes them over the IO-Link interface.
