Secure your competitive edge with intelligent sensor technology and IO-Link.
Lack of transparency in processes and missing data from the field level make it difficult to efficiently optimize machines and systems. TURCK solves this problem with IO-Link-based process optimization, in which intelligent sensors and IO-Link devices continuously collect, configure, and diagnose process and status data. Via IO-Link masters, decentralized I/O, and multi-protocol-capable networks, this data is seamlessly integrated into controllers and IIoT systems. Bidirectional communication enables remote configuration, automated parameterization, and data-driven analysis. This helps reduce downtime, flexibly adapt processes, and optimize maintenance, significantly increasing efficiency, transparency, and plant availability in industries such as manufacturing and the process industry.
Industrial production is changing. Digital processes, agile production and modular machines are the answer to the trend toward greater flexibility. IO-Link is the right interface for this: it facilitates production with batch size 1 by adapting parameters from the control system. It enables transparency and diagnostics through extended communication with the devices. It standardizes the wiring on the last meter. It embodies the future of automation and saves wiring costs and commissioning times today.
IO-Link is designed to simplify automation. However, integrating IO-Link devices into PROFINET projects has often involved a lot of programming work up to now. Simple IO-Link Device Integration, or SIDI for short, now enables drag-and-drop integration of devices – as if they were PROFINET devices. The necessary parameters, such as measuring ranges, can be entered in plain text fields. Other options can be selected from drop-down menus. This enables consistent offline engineering and speeds up the commissioning of your system.
