04 IO-Link Solutions Find out more norgren.com IO-Link is the ideal solution for cost effective, more efficient and reliable production. It enables seamless communication and a powerful infrastructure to manage data through your manufacturing process. Intelligent devices can be used to their full potential with IO-Link, paving the way for Industry 4.0 in Industrial Automation. This standardized communication system provides value, from design to installation, through to operation and maintenance, by reducing costs and increasing efficiency. IO-Link is simple to install and enables continuous diagnostics, as well as remote and automated configuration of all the IO-Link devices in your system. IO-Link The Ideal Solution Open and Standardized » Standardized worldwide IO technology - communication specification IEC61131-9. » Manufacturer independent point-to-point connection offering seamless integration in established fieldbus systems. Easy to Install » Field installable connector system with M8 and M12 electrical connections, as per IO-Link specification. » Pin lockable. » The standardized unit parameter setting allows locking of the operating keys on the device. Wrong settings by the operator is no longer possible. Reduced Wiring » Simple connector. » IO-Link decreases the number of different interfaces or connector plugs in your system. Remote Configuration and Monitoring » Users can read and change device parameters through the control system software, enabling fast configuration and commissioning. » The parameter definitions can be modified while the system is operating, without having to stop your machines. » Accurate real time data. Simple Device Replacement » IO-Link's data storage capability allows for automated parameter reassignment when a replacement device is needed. Simply plug in the new device the parameter settings will be automatically imported. This functionality can be enabled on the IO-Link Masters, if required. Connected » Digital communication can reduce system downtime through predictive maintenance. » Simple and seamless communication connects intelligent sensors, field-devices and actuators. » Access to sensor-level data helps ensure the smooth operation of the system at all times and helps reduce downtime and resources. Intelligent Sensing » Built-in diagnostics, self-testing and fault reporting offer intelligence for monitoring and measurement. Extended Diagnostics » IO-Link provides users with visibility of errors and health status from each device. » The transfer of process and service data takes place simultaneously. Wire-breaks or short-circuits are immediately detected. The diagnostic data can be accessed even during operation.
