Balluff I/O-LINK

I/O-Link increases efficiency

IO-Link simplifies the entire network topology, integrating every sensor into the fieldbus level.

Utilizing a widely accepted and open point to point technology, IO-Link, a Distributed Modular I/O system, is fieldbus independent, easily configured, and is vendor neutral. Process data shows up as simple packets of bytes in the controller for easy integration.

IO-Link transmits all sensor signals to the controller and, conversely, relays control data to the sensor/actuator level. With revolutionary results.
