In an arrangement of an electrically communicative voltage supply for controlled operation of at least one electrically operable IO-Link device using an electrical DC voltage provided by a voltage supply unit as well as an IO-Link communication interface which is provided for the controlled operation of the at least one IO-Link device and formed with at least one channel, the IO-Link communication interface which is formed with at least one channel and the voltage supply unit form a structural unit and the IO-Link communication interface includes an IO-link master providing a gateway function.

Integrated arrangement having an electrical voltage supply and a communication interface

The invention relates to the use of an IO link for linking a field device to a master assembly.

Use of an IO link for linking field devices

A control device for controlling a safety device which can be connected to a master assembly by means of an IO link is characterized in that a safety protocol can be transmitted via an IO link connection.

Control device for controlling a safety device, and use of an IO link for transmission of a safety protocol to a safety device

A field bus system includes at least one bus module designed as a master module with at least one connecting device for connection to a network and with at least one port for connecting a parameterizable IO link device. The field bus system uses a data storage device which is designed as an IO link device and which can be connected to the at least one port for connecting an IO link device and in which all parameters of the IO link devices connected to the master module are stored and can be read by the master module.
