Emerson's Class A IO-Link master is designed to provide a cost-effective, smart and analog sensor connectivity on the Aventics Series G3 Fieldbus platform. The G3 IO-Link Master is designed to be suitable for machine architectures with many sensors and pneumatic valves and where it’s important to have reliable digital data communication between field devices, such as sensors and the machine controller. During replacement, IO-Link devices can identify and configure themselves automatically. The IO-Link master provides pneumatic valve control through direct digital data communication with the machine controller. G3 IO-Link master is optimized for sensor-rich applications with eight Class A ports per module to support multiple IOLink smart and standard analog sensors. The IO-Link master can be distributed up to 30 m away from G3. Together with the 20-m IO-Link cable length maximum, the sensors can be located up to 50 m in total from the G3 Fieldbus platform.
