About IO-Link
IO-Link is the first I/O technology for communicating with sensors and actuators to be adopted as an international standard as described in IEC 61131-9. This technology enables the cyclic exchange of digital input and output process data as well as the acyclic exchange of parameter and diagnosis data between a Master and its associated Devices. A Master can be coupled via a gateway to an upper-level system such as a Fieldbus with a PLC.
IO-Link is a serial, bi-directional point-to-point connection for signal transmission and energy supply under any networks, fieldbuses, or backplane buses. It is based on the familiar 3-conductor connection for a digital switching signal, in which the switching signal is issued as a serial telegram. With IO-LInk, information can be exchanged in the form of a serial protocol between the I/O level and the field device.
The IO-Link system offers decisive benefits as a digital interface for connecting sensors/actuators.
Advantages:
- Open standard according to IEC 61131-9
- Tool-supported parameter assignment and central data management
- Simple, standardized wiring and a significantly reduced variety of interfaces for sensors/actuators
- Consistent communication between sensors/actuators and the controller
- Consistent diagnostic information down to the sensor/actuator level
- Dynamic change of sensor/actuator parameters by the controller or the operator on the HMI
- Automatic parameter reassignment for device replacement during operation
- Integrated device identification

About us
PI UK was founded as The PROFIBUS Group in 1993 to promote the use of PROFIBUS in the UK. More recently it has added PROFINET and IO-Link to the range of technologies supported by the group and is now known as PROFIBUS and PROFINET International UK, or PI UK for short. Registered in the UK as a Trade Association, PI UK is run by a Steering Committee elected by its members. It is not a limited company and hence has no company registration number, but it is fully accountable within the UK and is VAT registered, number GB 643240662.
