The power of simplicity with IO-Link – practical applications for hardware configuration

Siemens and Murrelektronik

IO-Link allows you to configure your hardware quickly and easily. In this interactive workshop, you'll discover how to integrate sensors and actuators with IO-Link in just a few steps.

We'll delve deeper into configuring IO-Link parameters (acyclic) and show you how to apply these settings—both as fixed machine settings and production-specific ones. You'll also receive practical tips and recommendations from Siemens and Murrelektronik on how to get the most out of your IO-Link devices.
During the workshop you will get started yourself and experience how flexible and simple IO-Link is in practice. Discover the possibilities of smart hardware configuration with IO-Link.

Those who find this easy can move on to step 2, which visualizes some things with a Simatic HMI. This gives you the opportunity not only to implement the configurations you've created, but also to monitor and visualize them on an HMI screen. This helps you better understand and manage your system's operation. Furthermore, via the HMI, with or without PLC intervention (via a web browser), we can parameterize and read out IO-Link devices, allowing us to retrieve data such as firmware versions, types, and other relevant information, and write parameters.
