Installation and debugging

Once the machine or equipment has been developed and designed, the time-consuming installation and start-up phase begins。Here, the components need to be electrically connected to each other。Next comes adjustment and parameter setting。By using IO-Link, this effort can be greatly reduced。In addition, the number of different parts and the frequency of errors will be greatly reduced。This is achieved through simplified cabling through standardization, as well as the ability to start automatically through parameter data storage and replication



The same applies to all types of sensors and actuators。Here are some practical examples:


Reduce assembly time


An example of a packaging system equipped with complex equipment, such as color sensors

之前

Use IO-Link


Sensors are installed and electrically connected

M12, 8-pin connection

Termination is expensive and time-consuming

Connection cables are rarely preassembled

Requires internal cable assembly

Mistakes are possible, but they can be found and corrected



Sensors are installed and electrically connected

M12, 3-pin connection

Available connection cables have been assembled and tested

No internal cable assembly required, no source of error

Cost-effective, fast wiring



启动


Example of a spray painting robot equipped with multiple pressure sensors

之前

Use IO-Link


System pressure must be applied

Switching points, hysteresis and normally on/normally off functions

Each sensor takes a few minutes

When the system pressure is different, the time will increase several times



It will be possible to start automatically in the future

Parameter sets can be downloaded in seconds
