  2. IO-Link benefits

IO-Link revolutionizes cylinder sensors

With IO-Link, the cylinder sensor can provide:

  • Continuous process value of piston positions with sub-millimeter resolution.
  • Built-in stroke timer and threshold setting to detect drift and internal damages before it's too late.
  • Built-in cycle counter and threshold setting allows the user to plan predictive maintenance before cylinders reach the designed lifespan. 
  • Automatic teaching of set points outside of the machine with a click of a button or via PLC commands directly. 
  • Configuration of other parameters made easy via IO-Link.
  • Parameter settings can be saved and downloaded to other IO-Link cylinder sensors with the click of a button. 
  • Diagnostic functions such as internal temperature, device status, and magnetic field strength are stored in the device and can be extracted via IO-Link.
  • Process quality is contstantly monitored by the sensor and a warning will be signaled when a discrepancy occurs.
