The standard for Industry 4.0
With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, comprehensive data and increased flexibility are essential during the production process. This requires smart sensors and actuators at field level. IO-Link is an effective and efficient technology that optimally exploits the capacity of these sensors and actuators
IO-Link is the first globally standardised IO technology (IEC 61131-9) for communication with sensors and actuators, and is therefore a core technology for Industry 4.0.
Installation and setup times are minimised by establishing sensor parameters, e.g. via SensoIO. Saving the last set of parameters in the IO-Link master enables a quick and simple replacement of devices.
Thanks to IO-Link, additional information can be retrieved on operating hours, switching cycles and signal quality, enabling rapid reaction and targeted maintenance in the event of an error - thus avoiding unnecessary downtimes. Standardised technology ensures fast, error-free signal transmission. Incorrect or missing measured values are therefore excluded, and sensor adjustment is even possible while a process is running. With IO-Link, every production facility becomes a smart factory.
By opting for IO-Link sensors from SensoPart, you benefit from numerous advantages:
IO-Link sensors can be operated in both IO-Link mode and classic Standard I/O mode.
Each IO-Link device has an electronic device description: the IODD (IO device description) that can be interpreted and displayed on all IO-Link-compatible system environments. The IODD includes the following information:

IO-Link devices comprise all sensors and actuators that can be connected to the system. Our sensors with IO-Link offer multiple advantages in comparison to conventional devices. Take a look at our extensive portfolio:
Our SensoTune software can be used to define sensor parameters, as well as to visualise process data, and is compatible with all sensors with an integrated IO-Link interface. The user interface is designed so that functions are read from the IODD. This allows, for example, a centralised adjustment of switching points without having to modify settings on the sensor itself.
