Complete Newbie, how to add a BNI EIP-508-105-Z015

The BNI EIP-508-105-Z015 is an IO-LINK master (If I use the terminology correct, remember newbie here) It is on the network and you can grab sensor data by going to address/ports.jsn IO-LINK seems to be a popular standard… but looking around would it normally connect to a PLC before being connected to say ignition ? Or would a different master be the way to go? This looks pretty straight forward https://comtrol.com/wp-content/uploads/Ignition-via-OPC-UA.pdf

BNI008M I/O Link Master direct to Ignition (no PLC)

Hey Guys, slightly new here, Is it possible to link the Balluff I/O Link Master Directly to ignition, I will not be using a PLC just I/O Link sensors and would like to use Balluff, I know there are other Masters out there that can use HTTP: Post commands or MQTT, I guess my real Question Is can I do any of these methods with Balluff??
