I

IO-Link inmechanical engineering.

PLC and fieldbus neutral.

Simplicity

Easy set-up.

Connect sensors or actuators.

Parameter setting for machine adjustment.

Flexible remote parameter setting.

Automatic parameter management.

The benefits of IO-Link...

No matter which PLC the end user would liketo use: The communication with the sensorwill always be as easy as it is.

IO-Link ports can be configured as inputsor outputs.So, sensors as well as actuators can beused alike.

Quick plant set-up due to centralisedsensor parameter setting.

Automated sensor parameter settingif recipes are changed.

Worldwide teleservice possible.

Centralised generation, storage andduplication of machine parameters is possible.This saves time and ensures reliability.

...and your advantage with ifm.

IO-Link inmechanical engineering.

Sensor data, diagnosticand machine data.

Measurement

Reduction of sensor versions.

Standardisation

Digital data transmission.

ifm offers IO-Link at no extra cost.

IV

Long-term data evaluation enablestargeted servicing.

Transfer of measured values (EMC) is moreimmune to interference in comparison toanalogue transfer. No conversion losses.

Only one sensor both for switchpoints and measured values.

IO-Link interface is a standard in ifm sensors.

Investment security for the future:IO-Link replaces proprietary systems.

...and your advantage with ifm.

IO-Link inmechanical engineering.

Standard connection cables(e.g. M12, M8, unscreened).

Wiring

Unambiguous device identification,verified device replacement.

Verification

“3 instead of 19”: Fewer terminals needed.

Different measured values from one sensor.

The benefits of IO-Link...

VI

Reduction of cable costs by 25 % usingunscreened M12 and M8 cables.

3-pole connection for 16 I/O points.Cost savings due to lower planning andwiring complexity.

Reduction of analogue input cards, terminals,cabling. Expensive multipole connectors arenot necessary.

It is ensured that the customer only usesoriginal spare parts.

...and your advantage with ifm.
