IO-Link is the future interface for seamless communication from the controller to the lowest field level. The new Inline IO-Link master which is used directly in the control cabinet enables the connection of four IO-Link-compatible sensors or actuators (IO-Link devices) as well as twelve digital standard sensors.

In addition to both the IO-Link masters of the Fieldline product range which allow direct connection of IO-Link-compatible sensors (IO-Link devices) in the field, the new Inline Modular IO-Link master also enables the connection of IO-Link-compatible sensors and actuators in the control cabinet.

The Inline IO-Link master is available in 500 kBaud and 2 Mbaud variants.
