Field application of IO link module

1. Standardize and reduce wiring requirements
IO-Link is to make the field signal acquisition equipment of different manufacturers simple compatible, use cost-effective unshielded 3-core standard cable connection,
It also supports a master-slave configuration with passive connection points, which further reduces wiring require.

2. Increase data availability
Access to Sensors data is conducive to the smooth operation of the equipment and optimizes the maintenance plan of the equipment Plan, thereby saving costs and reducing the risk of equipment downtime, through IO-Link communication.I/O System.

Three main data types are available
a: Process data read by the device and sent to the master station.
b: The service data of the Sensor itself, such as its parameter value, model, serial number,device description, etc., service data can be written to the device or read from the device acyclically.
c: Event data transmitted from the IO-Link device to the master device, such as an error notification of information, maintenance warning, etc.

3. Remote configuration and monitoring
Read and change equipment parameters through the control system software to achieve rapid configuration and adjustment test, monitor the ability of sensor output, receive real-time status alarms, and be able to remotely adjust the sensor settings to identify and solve the problems of the sensor level in time.

4. Simple equipment replacement
IO Link has a data storage function, which can save the information of the device so that it can be replaced.The previous parameters can be automatically downloaded when the device is installed, and the old sensor can be Introduce new sensors for seamless replacement, so that the new equipment can be up and running as soon as possible.

5. Advanced diagnosis
IO Link provides users with the error and health status of each device, which means using users can see not only what the sensor is doing but also how it`s performing,able to easily identify sensor faults and diagnose problems.
