Stride IO-Link Master Ethernet Network quick start from AutomationDirect

- The Stride IO-Link master makes it quick and easy to add your IO-Link devices to your existing automation network. With the use of the 3 rotary switches, you can set the IP address of your IO-Link master to a static IP address, DHCP, or use the saved IP address.
In this video, we will detail establishing your first connection to the master and then setting the saved IP address in the webserver.

Stride IO-Link master modules
IO-Link is a powerful field I/O protocol capable of handling traditional field I/O signals along with diagnostic data from intelligent field devices, including device health, configured parameters, and performance.

IO-Link master modules are the interface between field devices and higher-level controllers/information systems, and they also control data traffic between the connected devices. Two IO-Link master modules are now available that convert IO-Link signals to/from EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, and MQTT.

The STRIDE IO-Link master will convert IO-Link data to EtherNet/IP messages for better insight into system performance using a well-established Fieldbus protocol.

IO-Link hubs provide up to 16 multifunctional DIO channels that allow several standard sensors and actuators to connect to an IO-Link master using a single cable. IO-Link hubs offer an economical solution for a highly decentralized installation.

A variety of IO-Link capable photoelectric and proximity sensors are available that provide signal data, as well as internal diagnostics, to keep operators aware of sensor faults and performance issues.
