2
IO-Link in production.
Point-to-point connectionwithout addressing.
Simplicity
Automatic parameter setting.
Automated machine adjustment.
Flexible remote parameter setting.
Automatic parameter management.
Cost savings due to offline parameter setting.
Parametersetting
The benefits of IO-Link...
3
Easy replacement of units: can be doneby anyone without special knowledge.
Adjustment to different media and recipes.
Shorter and trouble-free retro-fitting timesensuring increased machine uptime.
No crawling or climbing requiredto set the sensor.
“Plug and play” unit replacement: can be doneby anyone without special knowledge.
Manufacturer-independent toolfor all IO-Link units.
...and your advantage with ifm.
4
IO-Link in production.
Observing and using sensorand machine data.
Measurement
Cost savings in comparison tounits with analogue signal.
Reduction of sensor versions.
Backwards compatible.
Savings
Digital data transmission.
The benefits of IO-Link...
5
Continuous monitoring of energy efficiency,condition-based maintenance.
Transfer of measured values (EMC) is moreimmune to interference in comparison toanalogue transfer. No conversion losses.
No pipe length calibration. More accuratemeasured values allow energy savings due tomore accurate process regulation control.
Reduced spare-parts inventory.
In older installations, IO-Link sensorscan be used as usual via switching oranalogue signal.
...and your advantage with ifm.

IO-Link in production.
Standard connection cables(e.g. M12, M8, unscreened).
Wiring
Diagnostics.
Plant transparency,preparation for Industry 4.0.
Protection.
Production
The benefits of IO-Link...
7
Existing wiring can still be used.
Sensor detects states outside thenormal operating behaviour.This enables condition-based maintenancefor a higher machine uptime.
Continuous communication from the sensorto ERP, e.g. SAP.This allows long-term process optimisation.
Protection against tampering:operating buttons can be disabled.
