With the advent of Industry 4.0 and the vigorous development of intelligent manufacturing, establishing data exchange channels and achieving interconnection among devices have become an inevitable path for industrial https://heiautomation.com/product/transformation and upgrading. As a global open communication protocol standard supporting industrial connections, the emergence of IO-Link has met the data exchange and intelligence requirements of today’s industrial automation and plays a crucial role in industrial production.
How does IO-Link work?
10-Link is a communication standard that can be used to integrate intelligent sensors and actuators into the control layer and for communication (based on the IEC 61131-9 standard). Its digital interface is independent of fieldbus point-to-point connections and is the world’s first standardized I0 technology that enables communication between controllers and the lowest level of automation. We will briefly describe its working principle using the Balluff https://heiautomation.com/product/I0-Link as an example.
Simplify the network topology:The Balluff https://heiautomation.com/contact-us/10-Link master station can integrate 10-Link with any controller. By integrating the devices into the controller, it enables flexible and effortless handling of complex tasks.
Non-contact power and data transmission:All the devices of Balluff https://www.youtube.com/@%E6%9B%BE%E6%85%A7%E5%A9%B7-z6jthat support 10-Link are connected to the 10-Link master station and controller in a flexible and contactless manner. With
The inductive coupler of the 10-Link allows for bidirectional data transmission, enabling simultaneous control of actuators and valve islands during signal collection. Due to
Its non-contact transmission feature completely eliminates the risk of cable breakage and also eliminates the need for subsequent maintenance.
State detection and maintenance:Balluffhttps://heiautomation.com/ I0-Link Heartbeat® power supply
provides information such as load level,
stress level and service life through
the I0-Link, facilitating condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, and extending the system’s operational time.
Balluff https://heiautomation.com/contact-us/IO-Link integrates the equipment, collects real-time key information of the equipment and transmits data in a non-contact manner.
It realizes intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance, forming an efficient closed loop of “monitoring – analysis – prediction – decision – feedback”, leading to a new paradigm of equipment intelligent operation and maintenance.
Balluffhttps://heiautomation.com/about/ I0-Link series of products:From object detection, distance measurement to position sensing, Balluffhttps://heiautomation.com/contact-us/ offers a comprehensive portfolio of I0-Link sensors and systems, helping enterprises simplify their automation processes and enhance production efficiency.
IO-Link Sensor:Balluffhttps://heiautomation.com/ offers a variety of types of sensors that can be applied to multiple scenarios and can be perfectly integrated into the IO-Link system. For example, the inductive sensor suitable for non-contact metal object detection can precisely set the switching distance through IO-Link, and can also read diagnostic data such as temperature or wear limit; there are also capacitive sensors suitable for liquid level detection or non-metal object detection, which can optimize the configuration of sensitivity and switching characteristics through 10-Link.
