Applications
IO-Link can be used in the following applications:
● Simple connection of complex sensors/actuators with a large number of parameters to
the control.
● Optimum replacement of IO-Link modules for sensor/actuator boxes when connecting
binary sensors.
In both cases, all diagnostics data is transmitted to the higher-level control via IO-Link.
Parameter settings can be changed during operation. A sensor/actuator can be replaced
without a programming device/PC thanks to the central data storage feature.
The IO-Link range comprises:
● IO-Link master
● IO-Link module K20
● IO-Link starting controls
● IO-Link switching controls
● IO-Link sensors
