 1-1 Overview of the NQ series

The NQ-CL8L/CL4L/CL4A i s an IO-Link master module that acts as a remote device station for CC-Link systems and
temperature
Degree and analogue input module.

Before use

The NQ series is equipped with two power ports and two CC-Link BUS ports, allowing each module to be daisy-chained. In
addition, input/output modules are available for connecting general-purpose input/output devices, enabling data utilisation through reduced wiring and
communication while allowing existing devices to be used without modification.

Protective construction IP65/IP67/IP69K allows use in a variety of environments.

refere IO-Link is a fieldbus-independent communication interface for sensors and actuators in accordance with the international
nce standard IEC 61131-9. IO-Link communicates one-to-one with sensors and actuators using the same conventionally
used 3-wire cable. IO-Link is a fieldbus-independent communication interface used for sensors and actuators.
