ifm efector supplies a range of sensors and equipment that utilise the universal process data interface IO-Link.
IO-Link masters are universal I/O modules. Different types of units can be operated on the same port: IO-Link sensors, IO-Link actuators and units with a switching signal. Therefore, one IO-Link port can replace several components: analog (4-20 mA, 0-10 V) and binary input and output cards.
In smart sensors, IO-Link is already integrated. Various types of data can be exchanged bidirectionally with the controller, such as diagnostics and maintenance messages or data for remote parameter setting.
IO-Link also makes set-up efficient. The easiest way to obtain sensor process values is as easy as the connection to an analog card. Connect the sensor to the IO-Link master and the job is done. Replacement is just as easy. All sensor parameters are stored in the master and transferred to the new unit.
