IO-Link

IO-Link is a standardized, digital communication protocol used to connect sensors, actuators, and other field devices in industrial automation systems. It provides a point-to-point communication interface that allows for reliable, bidirectional data exchange between devices and controllers. IO-Link enables features such as device diagnostics, parameterization, and real-time data monitoring, enhancing efficiency and reducing downtime. It is widely used in industries such as manufacturing, packaging, and robotics, where it helps integrate smart sensors and actuators into automation systems for greater control and flexibility.
