    Create a system of sensors and actuators that you can remotely update, view measurements from, and receive error messages in real time. IO-Link systems minimize downtime by locating issues such as cut cables or dirty sensors quickly. They send only digital signals to your PLC, regardless of whether your sensors and actuators send digital or analog signals. Because these systems send digital signals, they’re more reliable and less prone to data error and signal loss than analog signals. It also means you don't have to use expensive shielded cables since they resist EMI.
    When retrofitting an existing system, you'll need to make sure your PLC can incorporate IO-Link. Check with your PLC manufacturer—most have hardware that allows you to upgrade your PLC to run IO-Link.
    Note: Sockets may have extra holes on their face that are not used.

    Surface

    Mount

    Modules communicate between your sensors and actuators and your PLC. They are required. Setting memory automatically stores your settings and restores them once your device is back online. This eliminates needing to program a device again when you replace or fix it.
    Surface Mount—Surface mount modules let you mount modules on equipment such as tanks and conveyors. By mounting them on your equipment, you save space in your control cabinet. They use M12 connectors.
    IP66 Enclosure Rating—IP66 rated components withstand washdowns.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 rated components can be temporarily submerged in water.
    IP69K Enclosure Rating—IP69K rated components hold up to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns.
    Enclosure Rating—IP rated components block out dust and withstand some water, so they do not require an enclosure. Ports that are unused must be capped to maintain their rating.

    For Sockets

    Protective caps prevent dust and debris from harming M12 connections when they're not in use. They also help maintain IP ratings by covering unused ports.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel protective caps have a neoprene gasket, which helps maintain IP69K ratings.
