Save money by installing IO-Link communication devices

Now, IO-Link can handle up to 256 input or 312 output signals very well when used with really affordable I/O hubs. Compared to typical fieldbus modules, this leads in cost reductions of 15%–20% per output.


The entire savings can even rise to 30% to 40% when the fieldbus and power connections are excluded because a Sensor/sensor hub can be connected using a cheap FCC M12 standard cable. Additionally, the sensor hub only requires a single bus address and can flexibly gather sensor signals within a 20-meter radius, guaranteeing incredibly high efficiency. Prepare your plant for the future to enjoy lower operating expenses and transparent field-level data interchange.The permanent motion will put stress on the cables of the robot and the arm.

Reduce the complexity of the wiring, the amount of wires passing through I/O modules, and the likelihood of maintenance outages.

Line of lithium battery modules:

Various automation devices are included into the module line. In order to link devices like Sensors and solenoid valves, the IO signal hub is expanded using the Profinet remote IO module Distribution box. The Profinet remote IO module distribution box is simultaneously connected to hardware that supports IO communication, such as valve islands or laser ranging sensors. realizing effective data transfer and gathering, ensuring secure communication, and cost management.


Hygienic setting:

During operation, goods on conveyor belts need to be reliably identified in unattended or sterile manufacturing environments. Dual channels can output process data in real time, detecting and reporting pertinent diagnostic events and cutting down on search time.


Automotive differential assembly line:

On the differential assembly line, there are actuators like air valves and solenoid valves to carry out the commands of the control system in addition to a large number of proximity switches to detect the in-position signals of cylinders, fixtures, and differential components. If centralized control is used, a lot of cables will need to be run through the workstation and into the control cabinet, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot and then maintain the equipment.In unsupervised or sterile industrial environments, products on conveyor belts need to be accurately identified while in operation. Dual channels can output process data in real time, reducing search time and identifying and reporting important diagnostic occurrences.
