IFM Electronic IO link

IO link

IO-Link is an open standard communication protocol used to connect sensors, actuators, and other devices to automation systems. It is designed to simplify and standardize the connection of devices and to provide better diagnostics and parameterization.

Datasheet:

• Data transfer rate: 4.8 kbit/s, 38.4 kbit/s, 230.4 kbit/s
• Distance: up to 20 m (standard cable), up to 100 m (shielded cable)
• Cable type: M12, RJ45
• Functionality:
• Device parameterization
• Device diagnostics
• Reading data
• Data recording
• Digital switching

Advantages:

• Ease of use: ifm io uses a standard M12 cable, which makes connecting devices simple and fast.
• Standardization: ifm io link is an open standard protocol that is supported by many manufacturers.
• Diagnostics: IO-Link provides detailed information about the status of devices, which helps to troubleshoot problems and prevent them from occurring.
• Parameterization: ifm io link master allows you to customize device parameters, making them more flexible and adaptive.
