Traditional Wiring Topology: The “Smart” Data Ends at the I/O Block Information Communication Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
Traditional Technology Benefits of traditional wiring systems • Simple, point-to-point connections • Easy integration to well-established fieldbus systems • Full coverage of sensors/actuators functionalities • Plenty of hardware and connectivity suppliers • Simple 3-wire connection Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
Traditional Technology Shortcomings • No communication to lowest field level • Expensive analog inputs • No way to remotely adjust sensors Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
The output wire acts as a standard PNP output or as a serial connection, depending on configuration The serial output is very similar to Banner’s serial output on the gray wire (BannerBus) What is IO-Link? IO-Link mode Standard I/O (SIO mode)
Introducing Full digital communication from the PC to the sensor Information Communication Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
Benefits of IO-Link IO-Link is simple • Consistent architecture for analog and discrete sensors • Automated parametrization: copy and paste parameter data • Advanced diagnostics Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
More IO-Link Benefits Simplified Configuration • Fewer interfaces • One interface for all information • Simplified integration • Consistent IO Data Description (IODD) • Consistent engineering tools • Integrated development processes Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
Maintenance User-friendly maintenance • Enables preventative maintenance • Scalable diagnostics; Information on demand • Faster replacements, quick configurations Source: IO-Link Basics Technology and Customer Benefit
Banner Products Look for the IO-Link symbol • EZ-ARRAY receivers(EA5R___XKQ models) • QS30KAF600 (coming soon) • DF-G1-KS-Q5 Dual Display Fiber Amplifier • Works with any IO-Link master (see IO-Link.com forlatest list of suppliers)
