What is I/O Link?
IO-Link is a standardized IO technology (IEC 61131-9) for communicating with sensors and actuators. It is a point-to-point communication protocol based on a three-wire connection, enabling intelligent sensors and actuators to transmit process data, diagnostic information, and parameters to a controller or PLC. It is commonly used in industrial automation to simplify installation, improve data access, and enhance diagnostics capabilities.
