Seamless communication down to the last meter<br />
Industrial communication<br />
IO-Link is the smart concept for the standardized<br />
linking of switching devices and<br />
sensors to the control level by means of an<br />
economical point-to-point connection. The<br />
new communications standard IO-Link<br />
below the fieldbus level allows central fault<br />
diagnosis and location as far as the actuator/<br />
sensor level and simplifies both commissioning and maintenance by<br />
allowing the parameter data to be modified dynamically, direct from the<br />
application.<br />
Improvements in the intelligence of field devices and their integration in<br />
the overall automation supports data access down to the lowest field<br />
level.<br />
The result: Greater plant availability and reduced engineering expenditure.<br />
As an open interface, the IO-Link can be integrated into all common<br />
fieldbus and automation systems. Consistent interoperability ensures<br />
maximum protection of investment. This also applies in the context of<br />
existing machine concepts for continued use of sensors without an<br />
IO-Link interface.<br />
Interfacing is implemented in the well-proven, flexible configuration<br />
using ET 200S or ET 200eco PN master modules. I/O modules and<br />
switching devices are also available. The user-friendly parameterization<br />
tool (Port Configurator Tool, PCT), an engineering tool integrated into<br />
STEP 7, offers direct access to the configuring, parameterizing and testing<br />
of IO-Link masters and devices. All available IO-Link components<br />
from <strong>Siemens</strong> are already contained in the selection catalog, and further<br />
IO-Link devices can be integrated through a description file (IODD).<br />
A user block FB IOL_Call makes it easy to use device data in the runtime<br />
program of SIMATIC S7.<br />
IO-Link integrated into <strong>Totally</strong> <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Automation</strong> –<br />
