An open standard interface is simple to use, quick and easy to install and compatible to existing field bus platforms such as PROFIBUS and DeviceNet.
As well as showing their latest range of sensor solutions, Balluff will have two dedicated focus areas for IO-Link and Industrial RFID at the UK's MACH 2008 machine tool exhibition.
IO-Link is claimed to be a breakthrough in sensor and actuator communication.
IO-Link is the latest open standard interface that is simple to use, quick and easy to install and compatible to existing field bus platforms such as PROFIBUS and DeviceNet.
Further benefits include advanced diagnostics and low cost standard three-core cabling, even for analogue applications.
