Field connectivity involves the connection of all field devices to central machine control. This includes the easy integration of sensors via standardized I/O interfaces in order to connect the field level to the superordinate control level.
Benefits and values of IO-Link
- Reduced Effort: easy and time-efficient planning and comissionsing of the machine
- Easy Replacement: save time and money in device replacement scenarios as downtimes can be resolved faster
- Risk error minimization: through less error-prone parameterization during commissioning
