IO-Link
IO-Link field devices provide for easy deployment and utilize advanced diagnostics to improve preventative maintenance, reduce trouble shooting, and minimize failures for ultimate cost savings.
IO-Link is the first standardised IO technology worldwide (IEC 61131-9) for the communication with sensors and also actuators. The powerful point-to-point communication is based on the long established 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without additional requirements regarding the cable material. So, IO-Link is no fieldbus but the further development of the existing, tried-and-tested connection technology for sensors and actuators.
