Product Overview
Banner Engineering S15C-MVT-KQ (part number 809831) is an in-line Modbus Master to IO-Link Device converter for vibration and temperature signals. It plugs directly into a Modbus vibration and temperature sensor - such as the Banner QM30VT2 - and presents that data as an IO-Link device to an upstream IO-Link master. No external wiring enclosure required. The over-molded housing carries IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings alongside NEMA 1 and UL Type 1 listings, making it suitable for wash-down and harsh plant environments. Part of Banner's Snap Signal portfolio, which converts sensor data for use in SCADA, cloud, PLC, and HMI systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sensors is this converter designed to work with?
It is designed for Modbus vibration and temperature sensors - the Banner QM30VT2 is the primary example. It automatically converts predefined Modbus registers from those sensors into IO-Link data. It is not compatible with other Modbus signal types such as humidity, ultrasonic, or GPS - separate S15C variants exist for those.
What does the IO-Link side require?
An IO-Link master is required on the output side. The converter presents itself as an IO-Link device to that master. Confirm your IO-Link master's port compatibility before ordering.
What power supply does this need?
18V DC to 30V DC, 50mA maximum. The label on this specific unit confirms those ratings. A Class 2 power supply is required per the UL listing.
What connectors are on this unit?
Integral M12 Quick Disconnect - 4-pin female on the sensor/input end and 4-pin male on the IO-Link/output end. Both are Euro-style and confirmed clean on this unit. No adapters or cables are included.
Is a manual or documentation included?
Not included. Banner Engineering publishes the S15C-MVT-KQ datasheet and the Snap Signal documentation on their website.
Modbus sensors already on the floor, IO-Link master waiting upstream - this is the part that closes that gap without running new cable or swapping hardware. Drop it in line and the data starts moving.
