IO-Link: IoT-Interface of the Sensors

What is IO-Link?

IO-Link is the first globally standardized IO technology (IEC 61131-9) to communicate with sensors and actuators. The powerful point-to-point communication is based on the long-established 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without any additional requirements for the connection technology.

IO-Link is THE intelligent interface for machine and process optimization in terms of Industry 4.0.

 

The system architecture can look like this:

What can you expect from IO-Link?

• Fail-safe digital communication at sensor level
• Inexpensive installation thanks unshielded 4-pole cables
• Easy integration into existing Ethernet-based or fieldbus communication systems
• Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance

 

What we also offer:

• Temperature and speed information
• Uptime statistics
• Analysis of lot size and mileage
• Extensive parameterization
