  1. TW infrared temperature transmitters
  2. IO-Link benefits

Gain process insight with IO-Link

IO-Link provides higher resolution than analog 

With no scaling in the PLC required, the TW provides resolution of 0.1 °C across the full range of the sensor using IO-Link.  Over analog, the resolution is 0.2 °C + 0.03 % of the scaled measuring range.

Device status and diagnostic information 

The TW family cyclically provides data on the function of the sensor. Refer to the chart and table below.

Chart from the TW IODD file showing data mapping and available information.
