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. More...
Balluff developed the IO-Link wireless system to shift communication boundaries. Michael Zahlecker, Product Manager at Balluff, talks about the advantages and potential of the technology.
