Field I/O overview

Machines ready for Industry 4.0

The future of automation starts with IO-Link.

Sensors and actuators are the eyes and ears of your equipment. Your machines and processes are limited by what your sensors can tell you.

What if you can get more information without increasing cost, engineering time and complexity?
What if we told you your existing infrastructure could already provide more insight?

Discover the potential of IO-Link and unlock data that already exists today!

	Improve product quality and process transparency No signal loss due to multiple A/D conversions 100% digital process values
	Improve machine availability Easy initial sensor setup Fast sensor replacement with automatic parameter transfer
	Reduce system complexity Monitor multiple process values from one sensor over one wire Eliminate analog scaling issues
	Reduce machine setup and changeover time Remote parameterization of sensors Recipe changes ready on the fly
	Reduce unexpected downtime Continuous machine condition monitoring tracks machine health Built-in sensor diagnostics indicate potential application issues Allows for scheduled maintenance rather than costly unexpected downtime
