## S15C Modbus Master to IO-Link Device Converter for EZ-ARRAY ## Datasheet - Compact Modbus master to IO-Link device converter for use with EZARRAY receivers that have ModBus communications (for example, the EA5R-MODQ line) - - - - Predefined ModBus registers are sent over IO-Link automatically - Rugged over-molded design meets IEC IP65, IEC IP67, and IEC IP68 - Connects directly to a sensor or anywhere in-line for ease of use ## Models **==> picture [499 x 57] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Housing Function Female Male Connector<br>S15 C - MEZ - K Q<br>C = Converter MEZ = Modbus EZ-ARRAY K = IO-Link Q = Integral M12/Euro-style quick disconnect<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## Installation Instructions To connect to the RS-485 connection on the EZ-ARRAY, a 5-pin male-to-male cordset is required. The MQDEC-STP-501SS-MM (part number 806295) is a Banner cordset that can be used to connect the S15C converter to the EZ-ARRAY. ## Wiring Diagrams |Male|Female|Pin|Wire Color| |---|---|---|---| |**1**<br>**4**<br>**3**<br>**2**|**2**<br>**3**<br>**4**<br>**1**|1|Brown| |||2|White| |||3|Blue| |||4|Black| |Female (Sensor)|Signal Description| |---|---| |Pin 1|18 V DC to 30 V DC| |Pin 2|RS485/D1/B/+| |Pin 3|Ground| |Pin 4|RS485/D0/A/-| |Male (IO-Link Master)|Signal Description| |---|---| |Pin 1|18 V DC to 30 V DC| |Pin 2|Banner-specifc| |Pin 3|Ground| |Pin 4|IO-Link| Original Document 217589 Rev. D 14 December 2020 217589 S15C Modbus Master to IO-Link Device Converter for EZ-ARRAY ## 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.iolink.com. For the latest IODD files, please refer to the Banner Engineering Corp website at: www.bannerengineering.com. ## Process Data In (Device to Master) The S15C converter provides for the reading of three user-selectable sets of 15 Modbus Registers.
