Future is Now. Data exchange from sensor to PLC and beyond—standardized and transparent

Sensors and Systems with IO-Link

The first internationally standardized IO technology, IO-Link enables consistent, bidirectional communication between the control system and the lowest sensor/actuator level via standard, unshielded three-core cable—for both intelligent IO-Link and standard sensors. With this future-proof interface, users can perform comprehensive diagnostics or configure IO-Link devices during operation. Pepperl+Fuchs offers you an end-to-end IO-Link system solution that includes a range of IO-Link sensors and infrastructure.

Get your plant ready for the future. Benefit from reduced operation costs and transparent data exchange down to the field level.

Benefits

Internationally Standardized Interface

An internationally standardized, cross-vendor open interface, IO-Link is an integral part of Pepperl+Fuchs’ Sensorik4.0® solutions. It is standardized according to IEC 61131-9 and is compatible with any fieldbus on the market. Standardized Smart Sensor Profiles simplify maintenance and commissioning—regardless of the manufacturer or sensing technology.

Increased Efficiency and Sustainable Cost Reduction

IO-Link boasts both easy operation and a reduced range of interfaces! A three-core unshielded cable enables an up to 20 meter connection between the IO-Link master and device.

IO-Link Minimizes Downtime

IO-Link devices are easy to configure via control system, identify via localization function, and maintain as needed—this added value reduces downtime to a minimum. Due to the integrated data storage function, users benefit from increased plant availability because sensor replacement can be performed during operation.

Transparency Down to the Lowest Field Level

Transparency enables reliable sensor identification and access to all process data, diagnostic data, and device information down to the sensor/actuator level. This leads to reduced probability of failure while optimizing maintenance planning.
