The Omron NXR-ILM08C-EIT is an IP67-rated remote IO-Link master with 8 ports, each configurable as IO-Link, standard input, or output. It provides 16 inputs and 16 outputs across the block, making it a compact node for distributed sensor/actuator clusters on a machine frame or conveyor section. All 8 ports support IO-Link communication, so you can parameterize smart sensors and actuators directly from the controller without running individual cables back to a panel. The IP67 enclosure lets it mount directly on the machine, reducing cabinet space and wiring terminations.
For BOM freeze or new-design qualification, this part is specified into the line without obsolescence risk. Sourcing is handled via RFQ; lead time and pricing are quoted per order.
Integration Notes
No DIP switches on this module — all port configuration is handled through the IO-Link master's parameter data or the controller's engineering software. That simplifies setup but means you need the configuration tooling (e.g., Sysmac Studio or an IO-Link configurator) to assign each port's mode. The 8-port density fits applications where a mix of IO-Link sensors, discrete inputs, and outputs share a single node. With 16 inputs and 16 outputs available, the block can handle a small workcell's I/O without a secondary remote rack.
