Networking laser sensors with IO-Link

The optoNCDT 1220 laser sensors are used for precise and high-resolution measurements. Thanks to their compact design and low weight, they are ideal for measurement tasks in factory automation and for integration into machines and systems. The laser sensors in the optoNCDT series offer various interface options, including RS422, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. New to the optoNCDT 1220 series from Micro-Epsilon is the advanced IO-Link interface, which is now available.

IO-Link is a fieldbus-independent interface and enables digital and bidirectional point-to-point communication. Users can easily integrate devices with IO-Link into various fieldbus and automation systems. Data collected by these devices can be easily transferred to a cloud or higher-level systems via an IO-Link master. Companies benefit from low costs thanks to simple installation, low programming effort thanks to predefined function blocks and fast commissioning. In addition, troubleshooting is made easier thanks to comprehensive diagnostic information right down to sensor level.
