Your Global Automation Partner IO-Link All-in-One Solutions Enabler for Industry 4.0

IO-Link All-in-One Solutions IO-Link – Enabler for Cost-efficient Digitization The planning and building of machines is usually a costly matter. Standardized interfaces and products help customers to save costs in terms of storage of different devices or the commissioning of all machines. IO-Link is the innovative standard applied on the lowest field level to relieve electrical planning, maintenance and purchasing in the daily process. On the way to the digital factory, the user benefits from more efficient production processes in smallest quantities, but also quality assurance and sustainable...

IO-Link All-in-One Solutions IO-Link - Simple, Consistent, Efficient What is IO-Link? IO-Link builds on a point to point connection between a sensor/actuator and an interface module. Up to now, the binary connection was only designed to transmit pure switching information, but IO-Link typically enables two bytes to be transmitted via a combined switching state and data channel at intervals of 2 ms. In addition to these process values, other information such as parameters or diagnostic messages can be exchanged. This way, the entire process down to the sensors is covered to enable integrated communication....

lO-Link All-in-One Solutions Ether, -et/IP ■ -:jWodbus Engineering tool integration Standardized interfaces such as DTM and IODD enable complete, seamless integration in engineering tools, as well as in stand-alone tools such as asset management or configuration tools. Software solutions can also be incorporated at the company level via standard Ethernet. Device identification The integrated device identification ensures that the right device is installed if a component is replaced. Because each device contains detailed information about the manufacturer, type, etc., IO-Link enables a quick replacement...

jmrngrnmaSm Device* <et CANopen Ethernet/Fieldbus connection IO-Link enables a connection to all major fieldbus types as well as Ethernet. Turck offers solutions for the entire spectrum, from master modules for its modular I/O systems BL20 and BL67 to multiprotocol Ethernet gateways that can be used in PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP networks thanks to their automatic protocol detection. Sensor mounting All IO-Link devices enable parameter changes and diagnostics via engineering systems or separate tools. Because the user does not need to access the display or switches, the devices can be...

IO-Link All-in-One Solutions IO-Link Applications Turck has already implemented IO-Link solutions in numerous applications for its customers in a wide range of industries. We will give you a few case studies here. Signal transmission in gearbox production On the production line for differential gears of an automotive supplier, numerous magnetic field sensors detect the positions of pneumatic cylinders and grippers, while proximity switches detect components of the differentials themselves. In addition, there are also a large number of actuators such as pressure relief valves, solenoid valves...

Position detection in fairground rides In the past, to determine the horizontal position of the arms of a fairground ride, the manufacturer has installed five sensors on each hydraulic lifting cylinder. Although this ensured safe operation, a great deal of effort was required to install and configure the sensors and it was not possible to detect the exact position of the car at all times. Now, Turck Li-linear position sensors detect the lift of hydraulic cylinder over its entire length of 1,000 millimeters. Even during rapid rides and with the centrifugal forces that occur, the sensor delivers...

IO-Link All-in-One Solutions IO-Link Applications Recording the swing movement of a core shooter Core shooters produce sand cores for metal casting. In the process, a key objective of the manufacturer is to achieve short cycle times. With his new generation of machines, the manufacturer consistently automates using IO-Link. This offers many advantages: The manufacturer not only saves money but also time during the configuration, wiring and electrical planning, and customers benefit from a more dynamic machine. Errors occur less frequently and can be diagnosed more easily. The swing movement of...

In a new silencer production line, a manufacturer of exhaust systems relies on the Turck fieldbus system BL20 and the IO-Link-capable TBIL passive junction box. A unique feature of the new production line is that fieldbus systems must communicate with various controllers - an ideal field of application for the modular IP20 I/O system BL20. The multiprotocol gateways, which support PROFINET, EtherNet/ IP and Modbus TCP, send the various signals to the controller and also connect various valve clusters of the production line. BL20-4IOL gateways with IO-Link master modules and the IO-Link capable...
