Installation
Warning
- Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read and understood.
- EX600-TDX1
Install the Terminal (Input) Unit using 2 x M5 screws with a head of ∅9 to 10 mm and a length of 20 mm minimum.
Recommended tightening torque: 3.0 N•m.

EX600-TDX2
Install the Terminal (Input) Unit using 2 x M4 screws with a head of ∅8 mm maximum and a length of 20 mm minimum.
Recommended tightening torque: 1.5 N•m.

Environment
Warning
- Do not use in an environment where flammable or corrosive gases, chemicals, salt water or steam are present.
- Do not use in a place where the product could be splashed by oil or chemicals.
- Do not use in an area where electrical surges are generated.
- When a surge-generating load such as a relay or solenoid is driven directly, use a fieldbus system with a built-in surge-absorbing element. Prevent foreign matter such as remnant of wires from entering the fieldbus system to avoid failure or malfunction.
- Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact.
- Do not use in an environment exposed to temperature cycles.
- Do not expose the product to direct sunlight or UV light.
- Do not operate close to a heat source, or in a location exposed to radiant heat.
- Use with caution at an altitude above 2000 m, as the reduction in atmospheric pressure reduces the withstand voltage performance and noise immunity (lightning surge, electro-static discharge).

Ground Terminal
- The Terminal (input) unit must be connected to FE (Functional Earth) to divert electromagnetic interference.
- The mounting hole is electrically connected to the FE terminal via the FE bracket.
- If the mounting location is not grounded, connect a grounding cable from the FE terminal screw on the Terminal unit to the nearest functional earth point.
- The grounding cable should be as thick and short as possible.
- Resistance to ground should be 100 ohms or less.

Setting
IODD configuration file
- An IODD (IO Device Description) file is a profile held by an IO-Link device, which contains device specific information such as process data, parameter and initial values, vendor name and product name etc.
- The contents of the IODD file description are defined as the IO-Link specifications.
- The IODD file is supplied with a set of image files e.g., vendor logo, device photo and device icon.
