IO-Link integration and compatibility
The E3Z-R81-IL3 2M: IO-Link support means the sensor communicates process data and diagnostics to the controller over a standard 3-wire M12 connection, per the IO-Link interface specification. The 2-meter cable (2M suffix) is pre-attached, so the connector type is fixed — confirm your IO-Link master port pinout matches the sensor's wiring before installation.
