Perhaps many of us can be guilty of thinking that inductive proximity and photoelectric sensors just give us an ‘On’ or ‘Off’, and don't think of the ‘digital-world’ also offered by the IO-Link communication protocol. Contrinex offers a huge range of IO-Link sensors across its inductive, photoelectric and RFID ranges. It provides consistent and simple configuration, with IO-Link and conventional switching outputs available in the same versatile sensor.
Of course, ‘smart’ sensors are now receiving more attention and Contrinex also offers a wide range of such sensors, offering help with predictive maintenance, production monitoring and measurement applications. But the benefits of IO-Link should not be overlooked. Contrinex products can help manufacturers in their journey towards industry 4.0.
