Swiss precision with IO-Link

Using IO-Link, a machine manufacturer enables all the components of a new machining center to communicate with each other and with the outside world. The consequences include easier operation and maintenance as well as lower costs.

Integrate IO-Link devices easily

IO-Link has established itself on the market faster than almost any other communication technology. This is demonstrated by the total number of installed IO-Link devices of 11.4 million at the end of 2018. Edition 2 of the Smart Sensor Profiles will make the wide variety of devices even easier to handle. They help to implement IO-Link sensor technology even faster and more flexibly in automation applications and in the I4.0 environment.
