What is Io-link ?
IO-Link is the first standardised IO technology worldwide 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. Universal – IO-Link always fits! IO-Link is fieldbus independent and can be integrated into all fieldbus systems worldwide. IO-Link relies on standards such as M12, M8 or M5 connectors and three-wire cables. IO-Link is an international standard according to IEC 61131-9. IO-Link is…
