IO-Link solutions

There are three primary data types made available, which are categorized into cyclic data (data automatically transmitted on a regular basis) or acyclic data (data transmitted as needed or upon request).

• Process Data. What the device reads.
• Service Data. Information about the device itself.
• Event Data. Notifications (diagnostic).

No need to wait for a process failure to replace a sensor.

Devices are always being monitored to know the state of their health with Event Data.

Depending on the device, you can track if they are suffering excessive temperature, pressure, if they are out of range, internal default, etc.

The entire measured value transmission is digital, thus, all device parameter are stored in the IO-Link master. The data transfer is based on a 24 V signal and the shielded wires are not required.

Customised solutions force a continuous change in parameters. The overall setting control from the control system (PC) minimises time, increasing machine availability.

Plug & play replacement simplifies the connection: a common connector for communication and power. Parameters are saved in the master, enabling automatic setting once the device is connected.

The key-lock function keeps unauthorised persons from tampering with the settings.
