IO-Link, a standardized IO technology which has rapidly been
adopted in Europe, is now tracking
on the same growth curve in the Japan market. It has recently been attracting
attention as a technology to realize smart factory applications by
seamlessly connecting facilities with various plant sensors through
digital communications. Recognizing the importance of IO-Link,
Maxim has developed a variety of products using IO-Link technology,
including products like the MAX14827A IO-Link dual-channel
transceiver in new Industry 4.0 applications.
Omron is expanding its IO-Link sensor series primarily in
photoelectric and proximity sensors. Equipped with an individual
identification confirmation feature and unique ability to detect
abnormalities and monitor situations, Omron's IO-Link sensors
deliver solutions that shorten downtime, lower frequency of sudden
failures, and increase efficiency in changing arrangements. This
enables smarter production facilities by collecting critical data
for stable facility operations, with PLCs and other superior
controllers, via EtherCAT through a master unit.
IO-Link Overview
IO-Link is the first standardized IO technology worldwide (IEC
61131-9) for communication with sensors and actuators. The powerful
point-to-point communication is based on the long established
3-wire sensor and actuator connection using existing cables.
