As the first standardized, uniform, universally applicable

interface in control technology, IO-Link transmits all sensor
(800) 426-5480

and actuator signals to the controller. Likewise, IO-Link passes

control data down to the lowest sensor level. All of this makes
automation even more powerful than ever before.

IO-Link
What is Distributed Modular I/O?

Think of a remote “slice” I/O solution. In a typical application, the communication head and the power supply sit on the left hand side and are
followed along the backplane by the individual I/O devices, such as discrete 24V input cards or 0-10V analog cards. Usually there are a limited
number of slots available in the backplane and individual slices of control components can be inserted.
(800) 426-5480

In a similar fashion, a Distributed Modular I/O system has a

communications head that talks over the desired industrial network
on one side and the right hand side acts as a data collector. In lieu of
a backplane, each device is connected to an industry standard M12

data allows the devices to be quickly configured using simple read/write commands, and best of all, there is no “sub-bus” to cause headaches,
nor is there some new protocol to be educated on. The digital signal is carried over pin 4 of a standard cable and 24V power is provided to the
device in a standard configuration. If required, the IO-Link port can be used for a standard I/O point.

Ease of integration

While hardware selection is important to the success of a project, if the hardware is not easily integrated into the engineering software,
any benefits gained could be lost. However, Distributed Modular I/O is easily integrated into typical engineering software with an easy
three step process. Below are examples of how to integrate industrial ethernet solutions. These steps can also be easily implemented on

Device parameterization and configuration

There are multiple advantages to device parameterization. The two major advantages are the ability to quickly swap out a failed device and the
ability to reconfigure a device for a recipe or production change on the fly. The controller stores the necessary data for each setup and, when
needed, it sends the parameters via the network over the backplane to the slave device. This can shorten setup times and increase efficiency.

Color Sensor Example

While running project A, the color sensor is configured to detect the After the required parts are run off, a new project is begun with a different color
difference between five different colors as parts are loaded into a fixture. set. In the past, a second color sensor would be required, or the operator
would have to reprogram the current sensor for each new color. By using device
parameterization, the controller tells the sensor its configuration for project B
and quickly, without hassle, the sensor has its new colors.

Connectivity Products with IO-Link

IO-Link’s versatility can be seen in the deep product offering covered in these pages. There are times when a standard

sensor cable is just not enough. Maybe you need to have I/O on constantly changing end effectors or a rotating fixture.
Valve banks with built in network control can add additional costs to a project. Then there are the times you wish you
could just hook the device to your computer, just to get that extra bit of interaction with the device. All of these things
are capable with IO-Link by Balluff.

Radio frequency identification

Data Tracking with Industrial RFID using IO-Link

In today’s manufacturing environment, it is becoming more and more important to track every step of the production process.
(800) 426-5480

Many manufacturers have installed barcode systems or hand written paper work filed by operators or maintenance crews.
This can be time consuming and prone to failure. Industrial RFID systems can be used to track production data and record
plant floor information in every step of the process. There are two main ways to track part data.

„Centralized Data Tracking: All of the information is stored in a central computer and the RFID system is
used only for identification of the part in the work cell. This is a very similar concept to barcoding, but it is more
rugged and 100% reliable. (Read Only Systems)

„Decentralized Data Tracking: Data per part is stored on the RFID tag and is written to the tag at each
Mechanical

workstation. This concept allows for the data to always stay with the part throughout the production process.

RFID read-only systems

Select your RFID system in 4 easy steps:

1. Decide whether you need to write data to a data carrier.

Yes Î see page 2.18

No Î see page 2.17
2. Choose the appropriate data carrier form factor.

3. Determine the head based on distance.

4. Determine your required memory capacity.

Note:
The BIS L-1_ _-05/L-RO uses a single write data carrier with 192 bytes.
The BIS L-2_ _-03/L uses read only data carriers with a fixed “unique number” of five bytes (40 bits).
No repetition of the unique number or delivery of sequential numbers is possible.
All IO-Link RFID processors require a shielded cable. See page 2.19 for suggested part numbers.

IO-Link
SmartLight – for signaling operating states

Stack light & visualization functions with one configurable part number
Whether you are a machine builder interested in reducing the total cost of your machine or an end-user trying to keep your machine operational

on a daily basis, the selection of control components can directly impact your success. This is even more true when it comes to the selection
of status indicators in your process. It is also important for workers like operators, fork truck drivers, maintenance, and management to clearly
and visually understand the status of their workstation, their next load, their next fix or understand the bottlenecks in the production. In these
types of applications a stack light or HMI is typically integrated to communicate the status of the process. By using a software-configurable
SmartLight to indicate machine status, you can simplify the visual indication with a single part number that costs less than most HMIs.

The Balluff SmartLight can be connected to virtually any industrial network via the open and universal standard, IO-Link. This device can be
used with a variety of IP67 distributed modular I/O products offered from a variety of IO-Link vendors which eliminates the need to have a
remote I/O box simply to control an indicator light. Balluff’s SmartLight can function in any of three modes, can be configured on the fly, and is
Mechanical

controlled using simple bitmaps for the outputs.

Stack Light Mode

■ Program 1-5 positions of 20 rows of 360° LEDs
■ Choose from 5 standard colors or configure new
Electrical

■ Easily switch between solid, flashing, and blinking

Level Mode
■ Tie a bar meter type scale to an analog value
■ Program high level or low level indication
Pneumatic

■ Freely configure the colors, zones, and levels

Stack Light Mode Level Mode Run Mode
Run Mode
■ Indicate running status with a simple scrolling light
■ Signal a problem or action required
■ Freely configure the color or the scrolling light, background, and speed

Stack Light Process Indication

Stack lights in use today come in an overwhelming variety of options and configurations that can
make keeping the right spare parts and light bulbs in the store room frustrating. This happens for
Motion Control

end users because the equipment comes in with a variety of hardware or because the machine
builders’ customers specify all different brands and configurations. The SmartLight allows for
one part number to cover all applications. Since this device uses an industry standard M12
connector and is IP54, it can be mounted right on the machine for simple and quick installation
without the need for a remote I/O box or multiple terminations in the controller.

Level Visualization
Sometimes there is a need to communicate status beyond just on/off or the need to visualize

a measurement or speed. These kinds of indications can be expensive, requiring an HMI for a
simple meter, a digital bar meter, or a display with analog outputs. Other costly elements like an
enclosure and remote I/O devices could also be needed. The SmartLight’s level mode can be
used for a variety of indications such as: machine speed, throughput, output quality, operator
performance to quota, position of a part, feeder bowl level, hopper level, container level, tank
level, output bin level, kanban systems, or pick-to-light.
