Lumberg Automation integrates I/O Link interface into the LioN-Link system

From the user point of view, the wiring of analogue signals in machinery and systems has always been a problematic subject, due to the use of shielded connection lines: even though the workability of the various components such as cables and connectors has improved considerably in recent years, the assembling of a shielded cable still remains quite an elaborate procedure.

Thanks to the integration of an I/O-Link interface into the LioN-Link system in conjunction with I/O link-capable sensors, the user can now utilize such standard wiring components as unshielded M12 connection cables to set up the connection. IO-Link is the new standard for communication right down to the lowest field level.
