IO-Link wireless is a new communication standard that meets the high demands of factory automation. The wireless master block does not receive its data by a cable, as is usually the case, but instead receives the sensor data wirelessly via a bridge or a hub. This delivers decisive advantages over a wired system, including simpler planning and installation, more flexibility in design and mobility, and the elimination of wear and tear on connectors and/or cables. It also makes it easier to retrofit existing systems.

In short, wireless IO-Link allows even more flexible and sustainable integration of sensors/actuators, with the proven reliability and performance of wired IO-Link.
