The field-compatible SolutionBlock IO-Link master makes system digitalisation more convenient than ever: The multiprotocol capability allows free selection of PROFINET or EtherNet/IP as fieldbus, which makes connection to different controllers more flexible and reduces stock-keeping.
In addition, the integrated OPC UA server and the additional IoT port ensure an uncomplicated, direct connection to the IT level. Thanks to the integrated IODD interpreter, the sensor data is converted into readable information directly in the IO-Link master, making software-supported data evaluation even easier.
The moneo configure plug-in makes it possible to select and reduce the cyclic data of an IO-Link device. The SolutionBlock IO-Link master receives all process values from the IO-Link devices, but only forwards the selected information to the controller. This significantly reduces cyclic data communication on the fieldbus.
