IO-Link Seminar und Workshop

This presentation comprises a seminar to introduce technical bases and market positioning of IO-Link in
its first section, followed by a workshop aimed to evaluate the potentials of IO-Link for the client’s
business area. The seminar may be held either in German or in English.

Introducing IO-Link:

• Main applications for IO-Link
• Manufacturers promoting IO-Link
• Current state of specification and market launch
• Services for IO-Link at MESCO

Technical Bases:

• Internal structure of IO-Link stack
• Hardware resources required for IO-Link
• Software resources required for IO-Link
• Key features of the MESCO IO-Link StarterKit

Workshop:

• Demonstration, explanation of IO-Link StarterKit and IO-Link Monitor
• Potentials of IO-Link
• Possible areas for the client’s products and applications of IO-Link in future devices and projects.

• Use of intelligence given in the sensor/actuator
• Reducing the variety of interfaces by means of standardisation
• Convenient parameter setting and storage
• Central diagnosis of the whole plant

Increasing globalization causes a steady rising of stress of competition and intensifies the cost pressure.
This makes a direct impact on required productivity and therewith on the accepted expenditure of time
concerning commissioning, standstill and maintenance.
This can only be minimized if intelligent sensors and actors are integrated in a continuous communication system –
without loosing the advantages of a cost-efficient point-to-point-connection. Answer to this problem: IO-Link.
