In addition to leveraging standardized protocols, new products feature user-friendly integration and configuration tools that eliminate the need for specialized programming skills.

This makes it possible to implement predictive maintenance by transmitting diagnostic data of intelligent IO-link sensors and actuators before a failure happens.

Two LioN-Power IO-Link I/O hubs with 10 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs (10DI 6DO) and 16 universal usable inputs and outputs (16DIO). IO-Link devices, IO-Link Masters and I/O Hubs can now be easily connected to process up to 132 I/O signals per system.

This offers an effective way to update from passive to active systems or to collect many digital signals in distributed environments. Moreover, new IO-Link devices are designed to work seamlessly with the TMG IO-Link Device Tool as well as the TE concept tool in the future.

All LioN-Power System components are designed to operate in the harsh and confined environments typical for robotics, machine and material handling, automotive and food/beverage manufacturing, transportation and other industrial sectors.
