PLC SIMATIC S7-1500 – IO-Link Master

The IO-Link makes it easy to change the parameters for manufacturing and processing different product versions and batches, even during the CPU runtime, and up to the sensor/actuator level. Easy, clearly detailed diagnostics are also possible up to the sensor or actuator, including remote diagnostics. Up to 8 IO-Link devices can be directly connected to SIMATIC S7-1500 and ET 200MP with the CM 8xIO-Link. This means that the previously required external stations can be omitted, resulting in savings on wiring, engineering and commissioning, because everything can be done centrally with the CPU.
