IO-Link Members Assembly
This year’s IO-Link Members Meeting took place in Frankfurt, Germany on June 26th. Over 60 participants used this opportunity to update themselves on the latest developments and marketing activities of IO-Link. There were presentations on the new topics: IO-Link Wireless, IO-Link Safety, and IO-Link Profiles.
Presenters explained “what is new” with the specification V1.1.3. and how a standard master interface and the PROFINET integration work.
Vertical integration is also an important aspect of IO-Link. A lecture was dedicated specifically to the topic of cloud connectivity. Further lectures also covered connection to OPC UA and JSON. These technologies are crucial for Industry 4.0 applications.
User reports are always a highlight for the participants. This year, the companies Schunk and GIB supported the general meeting with user-oriented lectures.
For the first time, all lectures were recorded and will be posted on YouTube in the next few weeks. In the meantime, if you are interested in the presentations, we will gladly provide the slides to you on request (email Barbara Weber: barbaraDOTweberATprofibus.com).
