www.io - link.ifm IO-Link from ifm electronic connects smart sensors to your field bus and beyond • Correct process value – Digital transmission of the measured value; 23.3° at the sensor = 23.3° at the PLC without conversion losses. • Stable signal - Data transfer uses an interference-free 24 V signal. Screened cables and analogue input cards belong in the past. • Error-free set-up and operation - set devices remotely and disable potentiometers or pushbuttons; change recipe easily. • Device identification – interrogate device to ensure correct type; prevent down time due to incorrect unit.
