• What is IO-Link?

  IO-Link is a technology that connects sensors and actuators to industrial Ethernet using digital signals.
  Various types of data can be exchanged at the sensor level in line with the IIoT.

  

Easy sensor setup and status monitoring

• Various types of data can be exchanged at the sensor level in line with the IIoT.
  This means that batch sensor settings and I/O checks can be performed from the controller, and set-up information can be downloaded from IO-Link Master when replacing sensors.
  An error display can also be set to indicate if the sensor is disconnected or otherwise malfunctioning.
  As a result, equipment start-up / maintenance time can be reduced and sensor-level predictive maintenance can be performed.

• Streamline equipment operation with IO-Link

  Contributes to space saving in the control panel

  By converting digital, analog devices, and serial device to IO-Link, no communication program is required and input devices can be combined into an IO-Link Master.
  Sensors and actuators that do not support IO-Link can also be connected, enabling ON/OFF control.

  

Standard sensor cables can be used

• A standard 3-wire unshielded cable can be used for IO-Link communication, eliminating the need for a dedicated communication cable.
