IO-Link sensors and measuring electronics

Every octogon device that speaks IO-Link — in one place. IO-Link is the open standard to IEC 61131-9 for the last few metres between sensor and controller: an unscreened three-wire cable to the master, and the master passes the values on to PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT or Modbus. The reading arrives digitally, parameters and diagnostics run over the same cable, and when a device is replaced the master writes its settings back by itself.

Two routes lead to IO-Link, and you will find both here: IO-Link amplifiers convert the signal of an existing strain gauge load cell — in a housing or as an OEM board for your own device. With IO-Link inside the sensor the electronics sit in the load cell itself, which saves one device and one connection point.

Which route fits your plant is set out on the page IO-Link at a glance. Price, data sheet and delivery time are online with every article.
