IO-Link: Functionality and Benefits

IO-Link digitizes the sensor interface and, in addition to the current measurement data, provides further information such as the quality of the sensor signal, present ambient conditions or even statistical data of the measured variable. IO-Link relies on the components (cables, connectors) that have been used for many years for switching sensors such as proximity switches.
IO-Link is compatible with the existing sensor world of automation:
Compatible with standard cable assignment of a switching sensor.
