IO-Link, known as the “USB of Industry”, provides decisive benefits for today’s high-tech, autonomous system control. Along with reducing complexity and costs using Plug-&-Play and standardised cables, the primary focus here is on the catchphrase “Predictive Maintenance”.
Permanent status data reporting to the higher process level makes it possible to predict the service life of individual equipment items more precisely. These data provide the basis for advance planning of maintenance measures and help to prevent unplanned system downtimes.
Replacement equipment is recognised automatically and set up quickly and independently by the higher process level in accordance with the established configuration.
With the IO-Link integration in the 8049 digital positioner, the Schubert & Salzer pneumatic control valves are ready for the challenges of digital transformation in industry.
Visit us at ACHEMA (Hall 11.1, Stand F46) and experience control valves with an IO-Link live in person.
