First twistable IO-Link cable with up to 4 year guarantee for torsion and e-chain

Efficient and cost-saving - the IO-Link advantages

IO-Link is universal: the interface communicates from the control system to the lowest automation level and can be connected to almost all field bus systems. All you need is a 3-wire cable and a standardised connection with M5, M8 or M12 connectors. With IO-Link, the sensors can be installed directly at the point of action, where they are optimally positioned in terms of process technology and yet still be communicatively addressed by the control system.
 
IO-Link is smart: the technology standard enables the exchange of data and events. IO-Link offers the possibility of saving parameters directly in the IO-Link master.  

Reduce life cycle costs significantly with the right cable selection

Checklist helps in making complex purchasing decisions

Function units for transmitting energy to machines require a large number of electrical cables. Many cables are similar in structure but have different mechanical properties. In the rarest of cases, however, do cables that are supposedly cost-effective to purchase meet the requirements of complex machines and applications. This often leads to downtime and high repair costs later on - with correspondingly negative effects on Life Cycle Costing (LCC) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
 
In order to avoid that and also reduce the cost, the checklist presented in this free white paper can help decision makers. The list presents the key factors for cable selection and illustrates the relevance of the essential parameters for all decision makers.
