Norstat, Inc. is excited to introduce it’s innovative line of Vacuum and Pressure sensors from MP Sensors GmbH with the new IO-Link Interface. IO-Link is a manufacturer-independent, globally standardized, bidirectional, digital point-to-point interface, through which a controller can easily communicate with sensors and actuators. The IO-Link interface offers many advantages including Reduced costs, easier communication and simplified maintenance and servicing. Utilizing extensive data, industrial processes can be monitored and controlled in detail and in real time as never before. Modern information technology makes it possible to evaluate this data and optimize the processes based on that information. The primary objective is to manufacture faster, more efficiently and more cost-effectively. An intelligent interface such as IO-Link is essential in collecting this data and thereby allowing flexibility and control during production. The MP Sensors IO-Link can be easily integrated into existing systems as it requires no special demands on wiring or mounting as it runs via unshielded cables and uses standard industrial connectors.
