Product description

3.1

Product design

The FieldPort SFP20 connects an IO-Link device to a laptop or tablet via a point-to-pointconnection. The IO-Link device is configured via an FDT application, such as the FieldCare
SFE500.
The FieldPort SFP20 is powered via the USB interface of the laptop or tablet. If the power
supply is not sufficient, you can also power the FieldPort SFP20 via the power unit.

Connecting the FieldPort SFP20

NOTICEIncorrect supply voltage!
An incorrect supply voltage may cause damage to the device.
‣ If necessary, operate the FieldPort SFP20 via the power unit provided.
Connecting the FieldPort SFP20
1.

Make sure the device is de-energized.

2.

Connect a laptop / tablet to the Mini USB B socket of the FieldPort SFP20 using the USB
connecting cable provided.

3.

Use a connecting cable to connect the IO-Link device to the FieldPort SFP20. The
connecting cable can be a 3- or 4-pin cable with M12 connector or the optional M12M12 connector.
If the power requirement of the IO-Link device is greater than 80 mA, connect the power
unit provided to the 24 V DC socket of the FieldPort SFP20, and connect the power unit
to the supply voltage.

A USB port supplies 500 mA at 5 V as standard. WIthout a power adapter, the FieldPort
SFP20 supplies approx. 80 mA at 24 V DC. For many IO-Link devices, a power supply of
80 mA is sufficient. If the IO-Link device needs more power, such as during start-up, you must
use the power unit provided.
