• Read this document before setting up the product and keep it during the entire
service life�
• The product must be suitable for the corresponding applications and
environmental conditions without any restrictions�
• Only use the product for its intended purpose (→ Functions and features).
• If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal
injury and/or damage to property may occur�
• The manufacturer assumes no liability or warranty for any consequences
caused by tampering with the product or incorrect use by the operator�
• Installation, electrical connection, set-up, operation and maintenance of the
product must be carried out by qualified personnel authorised by the machine
operator�
• Protect units and cables against damage�

3 Functions and features
The IO-Link data splitter E434xx allows decoupling of sensor information via
an IO-Link master without having to change the existing plant configuration or
controller�
The decoupled sensor information (e�g� switching output signals or analogue
values) can, for example, be recorded and evaluated in a cloud application.
Connection to or disconnection from the IO-Link master is possible at any time
without influencing the active machine functionality�
On delivery the data splitter is immediately ready for operation
(plug & play) for many applications (→ 8)�
On delivery only read access is possible (→ 4.2)�
The device can be configured for write access (→ 8)�
Sensors with pulse or frequency output on OUT1 (pin 4) are not supported.
►Check if the signal generated by the sensor is also provided via IO-Link�
►Check if the IO-Link transmission speed is fast enough for the
application (for example in case of very rapid switching frequencies)
→ Technical data sheet.
3.1 Application area
The device is suitable for use in industrial applications�
The connected sensor / actuator (→ Fig. 4.1) must have IO-Link
functionality�
For system integration the Y cable EVC843 is required (→ Accessories).

3.1.2 Restriction of the application area
The device must not be integrated into an existing IO-Link connection�
• The device is intended for indoor use only�
• For the possible influence of the sensor signals → 9.2�
4 Function
4.1 System integration
The prerequisite is a conventional sensor / actuator system without IO-Link that
consists of a sensor / actuator and a respective counterpart:
SIO
1 2
Fig� 4�1: Example of a conventional sensor system before integrating the data splitter
SIO = standard input-output mode; conventional switching mode
1: Sensor / actuator
2: Counterpart

The data splitter is installed using a Y cable between the sensor / actuator and the
controller:

1: Sensor / actuator (IO-Link device) 4: data splitter E434xx
2: Controller / installation 5: IO-Link master
3: Y cable (EVC843)
In the configuration of fig. 4.2 the data splitter (4) switches the IO-Link device
(1) initially operated in the SIO mode to the IO-Link mode, connecting the newly
established IO-Link communication to the IO-Link master (5).

7
UK
At the same time the data splitter (4) provides again all initial SIO signals of the
sensor (1) to the controller / installation (2) so that the actual control task remains
unchanged�
The SIO signals are generated even without connected IO-Link master (5) or
active communication with the master so that the initial control task is carried out
at any time�
It is now possible to read process and diagnostic data or to configure the sensor
via the IO-Link master irrespective of the control task�
4.2 Write protection against unauthorised access
When the device is delivered the IO-Link master ((5) in fig. 4.2) only allows read
access to the connected IO-Link device (1). Write access is not possible until the
write protection has been removed�
To remove write protection:
►Connect and configure the device according to fig� 8�1 (→ 8)�
4.3 IO-Link
This device has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link
capable module (IO-Link master) for operation.
The IO-Link interface allows direct access to process and diagnostic data (→ 4.1)�
Furthermore, communication with a USB IO-Link master is possible via a
point-to-point connection (→ 8)�
The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the data splitter and the connected
IO-Link device, detailed information about process data structure, diagnostic
information, parameter addresses and the necessary information about the
required hardware and software can be found at www�ifm�com�
5 Installation
5.1 Installation location / installation environment
►Install the unit at a suitable location�
- Observe the protection rating�
- Avoid heat build-up or impermissible heating of the device�
- Observe the maximum ambient temperature (→ Technical data).

8
►Mount the device so that it is accessible� In case of concealed installation, mark
the installation location in an appropriate way to ensure it can be found�
The maximum distance between the individual IO-Link components is 20 m�
Maximum distance between (3) and (2), fig. 4.2: → Technical data of the
connection cables used and of the other connected components� Maximum 30 m�
5.2 Installation procedure
If required, the device can be fixed with a mounting clip�
Mounting clip
(fasten with M4 screw or cable ties)
Mounting clip with attached device
The mounting clip is not supplied with the device (→ Accessories).
