Machine Connectivity and Integration – Field Connectivity

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 commissioning 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
