IO-Link technology - what does it mean for you?

IO-Link is a standardised point-to-point communication protocol for connecting sensors with an automation system. It allows bi-directional data exchange process data, parameters, diagnostic information and status messages between devices and the control system, making it possible to monitor and control processes in real time. By using IO-Link technology, you can streamline data management and easily assess the status of the installations.

Let's look at this with the example of a temperature sensor in a plant. Unlike a traditional sensor connected with a regular cable, which only transmits the temperature signal to the automation system, the IO-Link interface allows two-way communication. This means that in addition to transmitting temperature data, the sensor can also receive commands from the control system, transmit diagnostic information or configuration parameters. This allows you to monitor and control production processes in real time, and use this additional data to assess the condition of the entire plant and quickly detect system malfunctions.

JUMO dTRANS T1000 compact IO Link temperature sensors - your key to optimising process automation

JUMO, as a leading supplier of sensors and automation technology, has developed the unique sensor JUMO dTRANS T1000 temperature sensor with Pt1000 sensor and IO-Link interface. With this robust stainless steel sensor, you will receive precise temperature measurements in your application. The control system receives precise data on the current temperature via the standard IO-Link interface, allowing direct reading of the temperature value without scaling the analogue signal and remote parameterisation and adjustment.

The switching thresholds of the switching outputs can be individually configured, as can many other parameters. Any IO-Link master (IO Link Master) can be used for configuration.
