IO-Link process sensors are not a specific brand but a category of industrial sensors that utilize the IO-Link communication standard, a globally adopted protocol (IEC 61131-9) for smart sensor and actuator connectivity. These sensors are produced by various manufacturers worldwide, including leading industrial automation companies like Siemens (Germany), Balluff (Germany), and IFM (Germany). They serve industries such as manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, providing precise monitoring of process variables like pressure, temperature, flow, and level. IO-Link sensors enable seamless integration with PLCs and IoT systems, offering real-time data exchange, diagnostics, and parameterization for enhanced efficiency in industrial automation.
