What is IO-Link？
A new, simple, field-bus independent and open standard communications interface.
Serial bi-directional point-to-point connection. This is Not a new bus system!
Seamlessly “Add-onto” the the binary signal interface. It can transmit I/O data via a serial protocol.
Cabling that is 100% compatible with existing technology.Utilizes existing field-bus communications platform.
Make retrofits easier
Reduces costs by 15% to 20%
Enables VISIBILITY down to the sensor/device
Reduces terminations and eliminates signal delays
SIMPLIFIES trouble shooting and enhances diagnostics
Provides condition monitoring and unplanned downtime
ELIMINATES manual configuration of devices, sensors and analog wiring
IO-Link Product Overview
Balluff's extensive IO-Link portfolio includes numerous sensors and actuators as well as an unrivaled range of networking and connectivity technology.
Benefits for
IO-Link
Installation
Cable installation
- 3-wire non-shielded standard cable
- IO-Link port
-
24 V digital signal
Cable track application
- Less cables, thinner cable
- Higher cable life expectancy
-
Less weight / high dynamics
Networking
- Fewer network nodes
- Sensor connected via low-cost hub to node.
-
Overall cost reduction
- Data is stored and managed from a central position by a remote control system.
Convenient and free
- Automatically transfers parameter sets to the new device
Minimize machine downtime
- Multiple parameter sets need to be created just ONCE, effectively
Easy, effective, and fewer mistakes
- FULL RANGE OF DIAGNOSTICS without additional wiring effort.
- Status-based and need-based maintenance possible.
- Monitoring of communication and diagnostics indicate device availability.
