New IO-Link offerings: Get More Data From More IO Linked Sensors

Smart sensing solutions with embedded IO-Link functionality.

Easily integrates into Rockwell Automation's Connected Enterprise to minimize downtime and increase productivity by delivering sensor heath and application data directly to your control system.

Here are some new IO-Link hardware:

 

Expanded ArmorBlock I/O platform. Mount close to sensors and actuators to reduce wiring costs. All three IO-Link blocks support higher current and allow more blocks to be daisy chained.

IO-Link Technology

IO-Link Technology is a worldwide open-standard protocol that integrates sensors into our Connected Enterprise by connecting the IO-Link enabled device into an IO-Link master module. You can deliver data from the sensor directly into a control system in a very efficient manner. The flexibility of IO-Link capable sensors allows machines to operate more effectively by providing the controller with diagnostics. In addition to product detection, sensors provide detailed and accurate machine health status to improve uptime and increase productivity.

IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics that can only be accessed through an IO-Link master module. These sensors act like standard sensors when not interfaced to an IO-Link enabled control system, so you can stock the same sensors for standard I/O (SIO) applications and IO-Link applications, simplifying the selection process and reducing stocking costs.
