Compact IO-Link device I/O boxes for field installation
23 July 2025
THE NEW IO-Link device I/O boxes from Phoenix Contact add robust devices to the portfolio for the Axioline E product family. They offer digital signal processing and flexible connection options for demanding environments.

Two new IO-Link device I/O boxes (AXL E IOL DIO8 M12 3M and AXL E IOL DI8 M12 3M) extend the new generation Axioline E series for control-cabinet-free automation to include devices for digital signal processing.
Featuring increased IP65/IP67/IP69 degree of protection and a fully encapsulated zinc die-cast housing in a narrow overall width of just 30mm, the devices are designed for direct use in a machine under harsh ambient conditions. Both devices enable flexible field wiring with proven M12 screw connectors or the new M12 push-pull fast-connection technology.
