Pioneering Communication with IO-Link

  • 5/31/2021
  • WAGO’s Top Automation Solutions Speak IO-Link

    IO-Link is the flexible interface for data acquisition on the field level. The open communication standard allows a seamless data flow from the sensor level to the control level. This makes configuration and cabling considerably simpler. In addition, it offers new options for diagnostics, parameterization and device identification: With the corresponding IO-Link master, for example, both the process data and acyclic data for identification, configuration, parameterization and diagnostics can be sent to the corresponding device (sensors as well as actuators) via a 3-wire connection. The functions and performance data are specified via device description files for masters and devices. If a device needs to be replaced, the configuration and parameterization can be automatically restored – no need for maintenance personnel to intervene.

    Benefits of IO-Link

    IO-Link is the key to the digital future.

    Helmut Börjes, Product Manager at WAGO GmbH & Co. KG

    IO-Link in the Control Cabinet and the Field

    From the WAGO I/O System 750 with the 4-port IO-Link master (750-657), to the IP67 I/O System Field, to the Pro 2 Power Supply and the electronic circuit breakers – WAGO’s top automation solutions speak IO-Link , making them the ideal choice for the requirements of modern mechanical engineering. In addition to the option of working with common fieldbus systems like PROFIBUS®, PROFINET®, EtherCAT® and EtherNET/IPTM, WAGO IO-Link-capable devices also support communication solutions like OPC UA and MQTT. OPC UA and MQTT connectivity makes consistent, high-performance, secure networking easier than ever.

    In the I/O System Field, special power management also ensures optimal utilization of the system’s power through current supply load management. In addition, the system can monitor and limit the currents and voltages of outputs and supply contacts on a channel-by-channel basis. This allows faster and more clearly differentiated identification of causes of faults and easier prediction of errors – which are essential for tasks like predictive maintenance.

    IP67 and IO-Link with WAGO

    At WAGO Live SPS 2020, Franco Polo, Head of Business Development for Industry at WAGO, explains why automation with WAGO’s IP67 solutions not only saves money, but is also ready for the future. Tune in now!

    Automation

    IO-Link allows faster, more cost-effective, more flexible and significantly more intelligent set-up of machines and systems.

    All-in-One Solution via IO-Link

    In combination with IO-Link , the WAGO I/O System Field fully demonstrates its strengths as a flexible “I/O distributor” for data collection and distribution. The communication standard allows a seamless data flow from the control level to the sensor and actuator level. This makes configuration and cabling considerably simpler. It also opens up completely new possibilities for diagnostics, parameterization and device identification.

    WAGO I/O System 750/753

    The WAGO I/O System 750/753 is distinguished by its universal use and extensive product portfolio. With more than 500 different modules, it is versatile and flexible enough to cover virtually any requirement in a huge variety of industries.

    The IO-Link Master (750-657) represents the standardized solution of the I/O System 750 via IO-Link . This makes project design, installation and operation considerably simpler! Four different IO-Link devices or standard digital sensors/actuators can be connected to the WAGO IO-Link Master (750-657) simultaneously.

    The WAGO Pro 2 Power Supply

    Our answer to more demanding requirements is the WAGO Pro 2 Power Supply – the heart of the control cabinet, which transforms today’s challenges into tomorrow’s possibilities. A communication pioneer: The snap-on type communication module allows continuous fieldbus communication while keeping you up to date on all important status information and data.

    Electronic Circuit Breaker

    WAGO’s ECBs are the compact, precise solution for fusing DC voltage circuits. For each channel, both status information and voltage/current values can be transmitted individually via an IO-Link COM3 interface.

    THE WAGO PRO 2 POWER SUPPLY IS ALREADY BRINGING USERS ONE STEP FURTHER INTO THE DIGITAL AGE.
