IO-Link is designed to facilitate communication between sensors/actuators from different manufacturers and higher-level systems. Broad support by leading manufacturers is the first step toward creating a standard.
The requirements for production automation are continually rising. It takes flexible production lines, detailed product tracking or close cooperation between man and machine to open up the last meters to the sensors and actuators for continuous communication. The fieldbus-independent communication interface IO-Link now offers a uniform standard that applies to all manufacturers.
