Smart Sensors with IO-Link - enabling smart machines for the 'Connected Enterprise'

IO-Link Technology is a worldwide open-standard protocol that integrates Allen-Bradley sensors into the Rockwell Automation ‘Connected Enterprise’.

The new IO-Link Technology is a worldwide open-standard protocol that integrates Allen-Bradley sensors into the Connected Enterprise by connecting the IO-Link enabled device into an IO-Link master module. You can deliver data from the sensor directly into a control system in a very efficient manner. The flexibility of IO-Link capable sensors allows machines to operate more effectively by providing the controller with diagnostics. In addition to product detection, sensors provide detailed and accurate machine health status to improve uptime.

Key points

• A worldwide open protocol (IEC 61131-9) that allows AB sensors to be connected to the Connected Enterprise
• Allows point to point connection between the AB sensor and IO module
• Enables connection of up to four devices (IO-link enabled or standard IO)
• Uses same cables as standard sensors
• Provides powerful data and diagnostics from the sensor
• Allows sensors to be accessible from Ethernet/IP
• Automatic Device Configurations
