IO-Link Consortium

IO-Link Consortium

IO-Link is the world’s first standardized technology with point-to-point connection (IEC 61131-9) for communicating with sensors and actuators. This system allows to automatically parameterize sensors, diagnose the plant status and transmit measured values without data loss. The goal of theIO-Link Community is to develop and promote this kind of technology in association with PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International).

ETG - EtherCAT Technology Group

ETG - EtherCAT Technology Group

The ETG works for the diffusion of the EtherCAT standard (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology), the Ethernet-based fieldbus system. EtherCAT sets new performance standards. Handling is straightforward and similar to a fieldbus, thanks to flexible topology and simple configuration. Moreover, since EtherCAT can be implemented very cost-effective, the system enables fieldbusses to be used in applications where fieldbus networking was not an option in the past.
