IO-Link: Digital Communication Down to the Sensor Level (Pepperl+Fuchs)

The Path to Industry 4.0 Starts with IO-Link

IO-Link is the first internationally standardized IO technology (IEC 61131-9) that enables seamless, bidirectional communication from the control level (PLC) right down to the lowest sensor and actuator level. This solution allows the full potential of intelligent devices to be utilized, paving the way for Industry 4.0.

Key Benefits and Functions:

• End-to-End Data Transparency: Access not only switching signals but also comprehensive diagnostic and status data for predictive maintenance.

• Standardization: Using standard, unshielded three-wire cable reduces installation costs and simplifies system complexity.

• Convenient Configuration: Standardized Device Description Files (IODDs) and software tools ensure easy integration and flexible parameter management.

• Fast Device Replacement: Parameter storage in the IO-Link Master minimizes downtime by allowing quick replacement of devices without manual re-configuration.

The Pepperl+Fuchs Portfolio Includes:

• IO-Link Master: Devices for connection to higher-level fieldbuses or for cloud-based applications (IIoT Starter Kit).

• IO-Link Devices: A wide range of intelligent sensors with an IO-Link interface: photoelectric, ultrasonic, and vibration sensors, as well as rotary encoders.
