Overview
The R95C-8B21-KQ hub connects two discrete channels to each of the eight unique ports, providing access to monitoring and configuring those ports with an IO-Link master. Host mirroring is available where a selected port input/output discrete signal can be routed to Pin 2 (male) on the PLC/Host connection.
Configuration

IO-Link®
IO-Link® is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and a sensor and/or light. It can be used to automatically parameterize sensors or lights and to transmit process data. For the latest IO-Link protocol and specifications, please visit www.io-link.com. For the latest IODD files, please refer to the Banner Engineering Corp website at: www.bannerengineering.com.
Mechanical Installation
Install the R95C 8-Port Hub to allow access for functional checks, maintenance, and service or replacement. Do not install the R95C 8-Port Hub in such a way to allow for intentional defeat. All mounting hardware is supplied by the user. Fasteners must be of sufficient strength to guard against breakage. Use of permanent fasteners or locking hardware is recommended to prevent the loosening or displacement of the device. The mounting hole (4.5 mm) in the R95C 8-Port Hub accepts M4 (#8) hardware. See the figure below to help in determining the minimum screw length.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the R95C 8-Port Hub’s mounting screw during installation. Overtightening can affect the performance of the R95C 8-Port Hub.
