One of the advantages of the IO-Link technology is the option of connecting the parameter setting software moneo|configure via a central server to the individual IO-Link masters and the corresponding sensors. Due to this set up, additional information from the sensor can be checked or settings can be changed centrally. Oro de Cacao uses this advantage in regard to the self-calibrating temperature to minimise a certain part of the inspection work.

Our customer

3 years ago when building the new factory, Oro de Cacao trusted ifm with the selection and evaluation of the sensory systems due to the advantages of IO-Link. The pressure sensors, conductivity sensors and the self-calibrating temperature sensors are being monitored by the IO-Link technology.

Point-to-point communication with IO-Link systems from ifm

IO-Link has been developed by leading sensor, actuator and control manufacturers. The result is a standardised and fieldbus independent interface for automation. This provides the user with point-to-point connections without complex addressing. Binary switches that used to be limited to simple switching signals or analogue values have developed into smart sensors.
