we’re going to learn about IO-Link. IO-Link is a communications protocol that works point-to-point.
A point-to-point communication connection is a communications connection between two separate endpoints or nodes.
IO-Link is bi-directional meaning it works two ways and works over a short distance.
It is primarily used to communicate with sensors and actuators in plant or factory automation processes.
Sensors and actuators are usually connected via Fieldbus connections, allowing them to be in remote locations.
With IO-Link, the field devices, such as actuators or sensors, connect to a ‘Master’ device that communicates to a controller, usually a PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller.
The connection between the IO-Link Master and the field device is established via an unscreened 3 wire cable, no more than 20 meters long.
The IO-Link master is capable of processing digital signals and analog values.
Its versatility means it is capable of integrating into existing systems and can communicate using the industry-recognized Profinet, Profibus, and Modbus, to name a few.
