007 - BB - What Is IO Link - 2015 03

IO-Link is a standardized serial communication protocol that allows bi-directional communication between field devices like sensors and actuators and the controller. It provides configuration, diagnostics and process data beyond simple switching states. An IO-Link master connects point-to-point via standard sensor cable to IO-Link slave devices. The master then combines this data and communicates over an industrial network to the controller. Common applications include standard sensor inputs, smart devices with diagnostics capabilities, and measurement/analog I/O using fewer wires over longer distances compared to traditional methods.

Balluff Basics

What is
The fundamentals of IO-Link: operation, components and technology

Technology: Standardized (IEC 61131-9) Serial Communication Protocol Typical System


Area of Application: IO-Link is used to bi-directionally communicate from field devices like sensors and Gateway
actuators to the controller in order to provide configuration, diagnostics and process data IO-Link
Master Industrial Network
from the devices beyond the switching states.

How It Works: Utilizing a standard sensor cable, the IO-Link slave device speaks point to point with
an IO-Link master. The IO-Link master then combines the data with other IO-Link slave
devices and communicates over an industrial network or backplane to the controller.
