953I I/O-link
IO-Link is a simple, point-to-point communications protocol used, for example, in factory and logistics automation environments to link sensors and actuators to the fieldbus or industrial Ethernet. This protocol makes sensors “smart.” Without it, simple sensors can communicate one parameter: displacement. With IO-Link, even small sensors can communicate much more data—and translate that data to actual values.
For easy installation, a single cable is run from an IO-Link device (such as a sensor or actuator) to an IO-Link master, which controls communication with devices and links to networks like EtherNet IP or ProfiNet to share information with the control system.
IO-Link Master - Represents the gateway between an IO-Link device and the higher-level communication system such as a fieldbus or a device-specific backplane
Data is transmitted from the IO-Link master via a high-level fieldbus communications protocol to a PLC or computer.
