Modbus/TCP
It is also possible to read the sensor data directly from the orange IO-Link master. This is done in a
similar way as for “PLC Integration” described above.
If Modbus data is only read by the IT system, it is not necessary to disconnect the small gateway
next to the orange IO-Link master.
MQTT or REST API
The orange IO-Link master has a dedicated Ethernet port for IT connectivity. To connect to this port,
an extra M12/RJ-45 Ethernet cable is needed. This cable can be ordered from IFM with article
number E12490.
• Connect an M12/RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the IO-Link master port X23 and the Wireless Router
port 3.
• IO-Link device data is available as MQTT and REST API from the IO-Link master. Please see the IFM
support web pages regarding information on how to configure the IO-Link master and how to access
the data through MQTT and REST API.
• To enable MQTT and REST API connectivity through the 5G network, the 5G Wireless Router needs
to be configured. Please see the user manual provided on https://www.hms-
