Capabilities of the IO-Link Master Device Inegration Through the Web Server

Abstract

The article is focused on the integration of IO-Link device, specifically IO-Link Master device in the context of global data diagnostics at a selected automated workplace. It provides experimental verification of the configuration process and capabilities at the IO-Link Master device (based on the specific provider type). Subsequently, it will compare the results depending on the others manufacturers with aim to the sufficient reliability of configuration and usability of its individual functionalities. We can state that the IO-Link Master device can be standardly monitored via a web server and the corresponding IP address. The monitoring range depends on the IO-Link port configuration, device type and provider, of course. In addition, the presented procedure was tested at the sensors and actuators that are the part of the automated FMS 500 system to further monitoring of predictive maintenance.
