I/O and control system expanded
Yaskawa expands the decentralized I/O and control system 'Slio' with an I/O-Link module and the corresponding software 'Yaskawa IO-Link Manager'.
The module from Yaskawa enables communication between the CPU and I/O-Link-capable field devices such as sensors and actuators in accordance with IEC 61131-9. It can be operated directly on the CPU or via a fieldbus coupler with a CPU. The module works as an I/O-Link master, whereby up to six masters can be connected, enabling the operation of up to 24 IO-Link devices per head station. On the hardware side, it has four freely parameterizable 64-byte channels that can be operated either in standard input/output (SIO) or I/O-Link mode. Status LEDs indicate the respective mode and any errors that may occur. The ports are electrically isolated from the backplane bus. The IO-Link master modules are configured, controlled and updated via the 'Yaskawa IO-Link Manager' software. The IODD files are reloaded via a server of the IO-Link community.
