Balluff - Wireless data transmission
Balluff is launching a wireless IO-Link variant on the market: IO-Link Wireless is used wherever classic data transmission was previously not possible or only possible with difficulty. Customers who already use IO-Link can configure IO-Link Wireless via the integrated web server. Instead of using a cable, the wireless master receives the sensor data wirelessly via a bridge or hub. IO-Link Wireless can be used worldwide without a license in a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.483 GHz. A latency of 5 ms and an error rate of 10 - 9 enable a direct connection as well as fast and reliable data transmission. Another feature is the scaling and extended integration of up to 40 devices. The wireless IO-Link variant is used in dynamic, fixed and mobile applications - for example on transport systems with high speeds or when changing tools on a gripper or on milling machines that offer little space for sensors but require a high level of process reliability.
