IO-Link is a standard input/output technology that has gained popularity in Europe. At present, the Japanese market is also growing rapidly. In recent years, this technology has been widely concerned as one of the key factors in the construction of intelligent factories. Seamless connection and configuration of various plant sensors through digital communication. Due to the increased IO-Link market position, Maxim has developed a variety of products based on IO-Link technology, including the MAX14827A IO-Link dual channel transceiver in the New Industry 4.0 application.

Currently, Omron is expanding its IO-Link sensor portfolio, primarily for optoelectronic and proximity sensors. Omron's IO-Link sensors are equipped with independent identification capabilities, as well as detection anomalies, condition monitoring and other features to help users significantly reduce downtime, reduce the frequency of unexpected failures, and improve the efficiency of configuration changes. It can use PLC and other high-performance controllers to collect key data through the main unit under the EtherCAT protocol to ensure stable operation of the equipment and achieve more intelligent production.

IO-Link (IEC 61131-9) is the world's first standard technology for sensor and actuator communication. Powerful point-to-point communication transfers data over existing cables based on proven 3-wire sensors and actuator connectors.
