SICK: IO-Link – Industry 4.0 for Everyone

May 17, 2023

IO-Link offers new options for communication between the system control and field level: Sensors and actuators become active process participants in an end-to-end automation network. As senders, they independently report errors and statuses to the control. As receivers, on the other hand, they receive signals – and process them. The result: cost and process optimization throughout the entire supply chain – across all industries.

IO-Link – Principles and Technology

IO-Link involves a point-to-point connection that may be located underneath any given network for communicative integration of the lower field level.

Principles of IO technology

Integration into Automation Concepts

IO-Link sensors are integrated into the overall automation system with an IO-Link master, the device description (IODD) and function blocks.

Advantages of the Standard Functions

The seamless integration of sensors into a automation network enables new standard functions and advantages.

Altech: CP Series Terminal Blocks With Push-In Connection Technology

Altech Corporation introduces the CP Series of DIN Rail terminal blocks. It features push-in technology for tool-less wiring of solid wires and flexible wires with ferrules. The CP Series features the industry’s thinnest terminal block of a mere 3.5 mm wide. By increasing wiring density over wider blocks, applications that are space-constrained become more viable. Other key capabilities of the CP Series include stainless steel push-in springs, no special tool needed for pushbutton release of wires.
