Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 Solutions
IO-Link Masters to simultaneously provide a sensors Process data to PLC platforms, while also sending the sensors ISDU Service and Process data via Modbus TCP or OPC-UA upstream to IIoT/Industrie 4.0 Cloud solutions or SCADA systems.
Benefits of OPC UA
- No PLC required
- The IO-Link Master OPC UA series combines the benefits of the IO-Link standard, OPC UA and additional use of EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP and PROFINET IO protocols simultaneously.
- IO-Link Master allows you to solely use OPC UA, without a PLC involved, which saves on hardware and software costs.
- Send IO-Link or Digital device information directly up to software systems such as Ignition, Xetics, GE Proficy, Wonderware, Iconics, or any other client software supporting OPC UA.
- Open architecture
- IIoT and Industry 4.0 enabled
- Simultaneous connection using
- EtherNet/IP, OPC UA and Modbus TCP
- Profinet, OPC UA and Modbus TCP
- Provide sensor data to monitor machine efficiency
- Countless application possibilities
OPC UA Provides Sensor Data Analytics
