Communication
mioty Alliance and IO-Link Community cooperate
At the Hannover Messe, the mioty Alliance and the IO-Link Community (PNO) announced the signing of a cooperation agreement that will intensify collaboration between the two communication standards, particularly with regard to the use of data models.
The aim of the partnership is to enable the integration of mioty devices using the same mechanisms as for IO-Link devices. This offers the advantage that users do not need any new tools for mioty.
“We’re very pleased about our partnership with IO-Link. Together, we’ll shape the future of communication systems and offer our members even more powerful solutions,” said the mioty alliance’s General Manager Peter Hedberg in explaining the goals of cooperation. “Cooperation with the mioty alliance will open up new opportunities for us to develop new applications and industries, especially in the area of IIoT and maintenance,” added Joachim Uffelmann of the IO-Link community.
The mioty Alliance is a community of companies, institutes and developers. The mioty technology is based on a software-based low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) protocol that was specially developed for massive industrial and commercial IoT applications.
IO-Link is a globally open standard for point-to-point communication between sensors and actuators in industrial applications. IO-Link enables bidirectional data exchange between a typical fieldbus gateway and the connected devices; this enables improved diagnostics, parameterization and maintenance.
