IO-Link is the first globally standardized IO technology (IEC 61131-9) to communicate with sensors and actuators.
The powerful point-to-point communication is based on the long-known 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without any additional requirements for the cable material. Therefore, IO-Link is not a fieldbus, but the evolutionary advancement of the existing and proven connection technology for sensors, actuators and thus also for control tops of the latest generation.
