An IO-Link master drives IO-Link devices and initiates IO-Link communication for the bi-directional exchange of data with the PLC - it is therefore the interface between the IO-Link devices and the PLC. IIoT-capable masters also allow access to the IO-Link cycle data and parameters via OPC-UA, MQTT and JSON REST API.
The latest generation of masters enables fast cycle times of up to 400µs and real-time capability to fully exploit the potential of fast IO-Link sensors. The master also supplies up to 4 A per port for connecting current-hungry actuators.
For the optimal configuration of your IO-Link solution, we are offering powerful masters, converters and hubs as well as the fitting cables. With this we supply the complete solution from the sensor to the PLC and IIoT. Additionally, the Baumer Sensor Suite enables an intuitive and fast evaluation, selection and parametrization of all IO-Link devices. Thanks to this unique combination of high-performance devices and in-depth expertise, we help you efficiently implement your IO-Link application.
