IO-Link Starts with #Balluff
What is IO-Link？
A new, simple, field-bus independent and open standard communications interface.
Serial bi-directional point-to-point connection. This is Not a new bus system!
Seamlessly “Add-onto” the the binary signal interface. It can transmit I/O data via a serial protocol.
Cabling that is 100% compatible with existing technology.Utilizes existing field-bus communications platform.
Why Balluff IO-Link?
Our IO-Link is suitable for communication in various fields, and is compatible with all working principles, so that these advantages of IO-Link can improve an entire working system.
With a long-term membership in the IO-Link Community, we are pioneers of IO-Link technology. We endeavour to explore more possibilities in IO-Link technology and promote it worldwide.

Your benefits at a glance
Installation
Cable installation: 3-wire non-shielded standard cable, IO-Link port, 24 V digital signal
Cable track application: less and thinner cable, higher cable life expectancy, less weight / high dynamics
Networking: fewer network nodes, sensor connected via low-cost hub to node, overall cost reduction
Diagnostics
Convenient and free: Data is stored and managed from a central position by a remote control system.
Minimize machine downtime: Automatically transfers parameter sets to the new device
Easy, effective, and fewer mistakes: Multiple parameter sets need to be created just ONCE, effectively
Parameterization
Full range of diagnostics without additional wiring effort
Status-based and need-based maintenance possible
Monitoring of communication and diagnostics indicate device availability
