Implementing smart factory MD7 systems from Leuze
Summary
Thanks to the synchronised system of IO-Link masters and Leuze sensors, the connected machines have a high level of standardisation. All of the IO-Link modules as well as connected sensors and actuators can be quickly and easily commissioned, configured and centrally monitored via a web browser. Future security is guaranteed with IO-Link: Backward compatibility means that, even years later, sensors with older dates of manufacture can be integrated into systems with the latest specification. The masters offer a multitude of ways to retrieve diagnostic and status information – either on the device or via a web server. In daisy-chain applications – where hardware components are connected to one another in series – significantly more modules can be wired together without requiring any additional power.
