IO-Link in
mechanical engineering.
The benefits of IO-Link...
Simplicity
PLC and fieldbus neutral.
Connect sensors or actuators.
Parameter
setting
Easy set-up.
Parameter setting for machine adjustment.
Flexible remote parameter setting.
Automatic parameter management.
I
...and your advantage with ifm.

Pro
No matter which PLC the end user would like
to use: The communication with the sensor
will always be as easy as it is.

IO-Link ports can be configured as inputs
or outputs.
So, sensors as well as actuators can be
used alike.
Quick plant set-up due to centralised
sensor parameter setting.
Automated sensor parameter setting
if recipes are changed.
Worldwide teleservice possible.
Centralised generation, storage and
duplication of machine parameters is possible.
This saves time and ensures reliability.

Digital data transmission.
Standardisation
Reduction of sensor versions.
ifm offers IO-Link at no extra cost.
Standards.
III
...and your advantage with ifm.
Long-term data evaluation enables
targeted servicing.
Transfer of measured values (EMC) is more
immune to interference in comparison to
analogue transfer. No conversion losses.
bar
bar
Only one sensor both for switch
points and measured values.
IO-Link interface is a standard in ifm sensors.
Investment security for the future:
IO-Link replaces proprietary systems.

IO-Link in
mechanical engineering.
The benefits of IO-Link...
Wiring
Standard connection cables
(e.g. M12, M8, unscreened).
“3 instead of 19”: Fewer terminals needed.
°C
Different measured values from one sensor.
m3/h
Verification
Unambiguous device identification,
verified device replacement.
V
...and your advantage with ifm.
Reduction of cable costs by 25 % using
unscreened M12 and M8 cables.
-25%
3-pole connection for 16 I/O points.
Cost savings due to lower planning and
wiring complexity.
Reduction of analogue input cards, terminals,
cabling. Expensive multipole connectors are
not necessary.
It is ensured that the customer only uses
original spare parts.
