Low cost opportunity to improve productivity with IO Link

Recently the trade press has been full of the benefits of the Connected Enterprise, Internet of Things and Industry 4.0. If you have a Logix platform utilising point IO on EtherNet then Routeco have a low cost way of you sampling the benefits without rebuilding your entire network infrastructure.

By simply adding an IO Link Master into the system you can have four intelligent sensors. If you like the experience you can replace the other slithers of IO at your leisure until you get the level of information that best suits your business.

Benefits include:
  • Get full diagnostic information remotely
  • Change the settings remotely so the  optimum settings can be stored for each component
  • Store the settings remotely so if a sensor breaks you can automatically download the settings to the replacement sensor

All of these can lead to reduced changeover and downtime which ultimately means more productivity and profitability from your machinery.

Rockwell Automation have more information about IO Link technology on their website and you can also contact us to discuss your requirements at info@routeco.com
