IO-Link Devices
Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide range of intelligent sensors with an IO-Link interface. From photoelectric, ultrasonic and vibration sensors to rotary encoders and inductive positioning systems—all of these devices combine the advantages of IO‑Link and increase the efficiency of your plant processes. IO-Link permits the full intelligence of sensors and actuators to be utilized and allows transparent communication down to the last meter of the process. IO-Link devices transmit process and diagnostic data, communicate status information, and apply new parameter data. They form the foundation for the integrated networking of components, machines, and plants—at Pepperl+Fuchs, this is known as Sensorik4.0®. With the continuous expansion of the IO-Link portfolio, automation technology from Pepperl+Fuchs is paving the way for Industry 4.0.

Driving Conveyor TechnologyG20 Series Motor Control Modules
The G20 control module for MDRs have an application-optimized, slim design that allows direct installation in the mounting rail of the roller conveyor line. All connection cables for sensors and motorized rollers are already integrated in the module. The flat cable for communication and/or powering can easily be inserted in the last step.
The G20 module with IO-Link makes most of its benefits at points with a high IO density, such as buffer zones, sorting points or intersections with elevators, where it ensures a reliable flow of goods. It collects up to eight digital signals and controls up to four motorized rollers simultaneously.
Increased Efficiency and Sustainable Cost Reduction with IO-Link
From the planning stage to commissioning to maintenance—the non-proprietary standard interface proves its value at every step with transparency and cost savings. IO-Link enables the simultaneous digital transfer of switching information, data, and status information. The data can be evaluated locally at the sensor, centrally in the PLC, or in the IO-Link master.
IO-Link can also be used to access diagnostics and status information regarding the operating state of a sensor during operation, for example providing information about contamination or wear. This enables predictive maintenance to be performed, which helps avoid plant downtime. The localization function can be used to easily locate a sensor within a plant, allowing it to be repaired or replaced quickly ...
