6 2547720000/03/09.2019Manual Communication module UR20-4COM-IO-LINK
Shielding
IO-Link Devices and conventional sensors/actuators are con-
nected to the UR20-4COM-IO-LINK communication module
via unshielded cables.
2.2 Intended use
The UR20-4COM-IO-LINK communication module is an I/O
module from the u-remote series. It is intended for use in a
u-remote station. As an IO-Link master the module can inte-
grate up to four IO-Link Devices in an automation system.
The products of the u-remote series are intended for use in
industrial automation. A u-remote station with bus coupler
and connected modules is intended for the decentralised
control of systems or sub-systems. Via the eldbus coupler
every module of a station is integrated into a eldbus struc-
ture and connected to the superordinate control unit. The
u-remote products conform to protection class IP20 (in ac-
cordance with IEC60529).
The observance of the documentation is part of the intended
use. The products described in this manual may only be used
for the intended applications and only in connection with
certied third-party devices or components. The product-
specic protective measures can become ineffective in the
event of deviating use.
2.3 Use in a potentially explosive atmosphere
Unless otherwise noted, the u-remote products can be used
in potentially explosive atmospheres rated as Zone2 (as per
Directive 2014/34/EU). The u-remote products are suitable
for use in ClassI, Division2, Groups A to D according to
NFPA publication70.
If u-remote products are used in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres, the following notes are also applicable:
– Staff involved in assembly, installation and operation must
be qualified to perform safe work on electrical systems
protected against potentially explosive atmospheres.
– The requirements according to IEC 60079-14 must be
observed.
– The substitution of any components may impair suitability
for ClassI, Divsion2.
– The equipment shall be installed in an enclosure that pro-
vides a degree of protection not less than IP54 in accord-
ance with IEC60079-15, accessible only by the use of a
tool.
– The housing enclosing must meet the requirements of
explosion protection type Exn or Exe.
– The u-remote station may only be installed in horizontal
orientation.
– Sensors and actuators that are located in Zone 2 or in a
safe zone can be connected to the u-remote station.
– If the ambient temperature under rated conditions exeeds
55°C, the cables used for feed-in (on the fieldbus coupler
and on power-feed modules) must be specified for at
least 90°C.
– If the temperature under rated conditions exceeds 70°C
at the cable or conduit entry point, or 80°C at the
branching point of the conductors, the temperature speci-
fication of the selected cable shall be in compliance with
the actual measured temperature values.
– The equipment shall only be used in an area of not more
than pollution degree2, as defined in IEC60664-1.
– A stabilized 24V DC power supply with double or rein-
forced insulation shall be used.
– A visual inspection of the u-remote station is to be per-
formed once per year.
– While explosive atmosphere is present:
– No electrical connection shall be separated in ener-
gized condition.
– The USB interface shall not be used.
– Dip-switches, binary-switches and potentiometers shall
not be actuated.
