Advantages

Efficient Processes

Exhaustive parameterization options for just in time parameter changes to devices
Efficient processes requiring different parameter sets for switching thresholds, gain, sensitivity and so forth due to differing production conditions
Faster tool change operations

IO-Link Reduces Machine Costs

Reduced inventory due to intelligent multi-purpose devices
Only one I/O module and one inexpensive standard cable required
Reduced I/O footprint possible
Displays and switches no longer required on devices
Reduced engineering costs, assembly costs and automatic documentation of device parameters during the engineering phase

Improved Machine Availability

Comprehensive status information and diagnostic capabilities in the plant lead to drastically reduced machine downtime
Enhanced information enables cost saving mechanisms such as predictive maintenance or asset management to be easily
implemented
Device replacement without manual intervention to parameterize the new unit alleviates the need for qualified personnel
