_ Low connection costs: M12, 4-pin, A-coded, without shield, supply and data in one cable. An IO-Link master is often already present in a machine, usually to read in and parameterize initiators. TR-Electronic rotary encoders with IO-Link use exactly this infrastructure to communicate with the control. _ Cyclical transfer: Position, speed, 2 independent position limit switches, speed monitor. If a machine or system already has IO-Link integrated as a bus system, the obvious approach is to also control absolute rotary encoders with this bus system. The actual value communication uses a star distribution...
