IO-Link is revolutionising industrial automation with a standardised, seamless communication interface for all IO-Link devices — simple installation and a complete range of diagnostics functionality. IMI Norgren offers a complete IO-Link system solution: a wide range of IO-Link enabled devices, IO-Link Masters and I/O modules (hubs), paving the way for Industry 4.0.
IO-Link is a globally standardised (IEC 61131-9), fieldbus-independent communication system: manufacturer-independent point-to-point connections, field-installable M8 and M12 connectors, fewer interfaces and connector plugs — reducing planning and administrative costs while increasing flexibility.
Continuous diagnostics with accurate real-time data: wire-breaks and short-circuits are immediately detected, parameters can be modified while the system is running, and IO-Link's data storage enables automated parameter reassignment when a device is replaced — plug in the new device and settings import automatically.
IO-Link Masters with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT connectivity, expandable I/O modules (hubs), plus a wide range of IO-Link enabled devices: VR and VS valve manifolds, 34D and 54D pressure sensors, Excelon Plus air preparation with integrated electronic pressure sensor, the VP50 proportional valve and the M/50 solid state switch.
From intelligent diagnostics through faster start-up to lower total cost of ownership — what IO-Link delivers in practice.
Fast initial machine start-up, drastically simplified sensor replacement with shorter downtimes, no manual sensor parameter setting for the end user, and remote diagnostics down to the sensor level.
Every change in pre-set parameters is detected by the sensors and logged in the controller, sensor parameters can be logged during production, and machine and process validation reaches down to the lowest automation level.
Drastically simplified connection of valve manifolds and sensors: cabling and wiring replaced by ready-to-plug-in IO-Link, modular equipment construction with connector-linked modules — less copper, no wasted worker time.
Every process — press shop, body-in-white, paint shop, powertrain and final assembly — can function reliably with very high machine availability, fast leakage detection and remote parametrisation to avoid stopping production.
IO-Link is a globally standardised (IEC 61131-9) communication system that connects sensors and other components to a control system without complex wiring: serial, bi-directional point-to-point communication between any compatible I/O system and field devices, integrable into virtually any fieldbus or automation system.
Built-in diagnostics, self-testing and fault reporting provide intelligence for monitoring: wire-breaks and short-circuits are detected immediately, process and service data transfer simultaneously, and access to sensor-level data enables predictive and planned maintenance — reducing downtime and resources.
IO-Link's data storage capability allows automated parameter reassignment: simply plug in the new device and the parameter settings are automatically imported (this functionality can be enabled on the IO-Link Masters). Sensor replacement is drastically simplified and downtimes are shorter.
The IO-Link Master and I/O modules, the VR and VS series valve manifolds, the 34D and 54D pressure sensors, the Excelon Plus 84 series air preparation with integrated electronic pressure sensor (1/2" versions), the VP50 proportional valve and the M/50 solid state switch, which is compatible with all IMI Norgren actuators.
