Load monitoring system with io-link communications
Weidmüller recently introduced its topGUARD load monitoring system with communication interface via IO-Link.
The communication-compatible load monitoring system not only provides users with options for remote-controlled operation, but offers operating data for optimal condition monitoring, as well as reliable monitoring and protection of 24V system voltage. This intelligent networking between the machine, control cabinet and IT system makes it possible to create completely new control, monitoring and analysis solutions.
IO-Link is considered a key technology for the implementation of Industry 4.0 and IoT concepts. With regard to Weidmüller’s topGUARD load monitoring system, which intelligently safeguards DC loads and communicates via IOLink, users have the option of continuous communication from field level, right through to the cloud. By connecting the IO-Link module and integrating an IODD file to carry out parameterisation and control, the user is provided with all relevant operating data.
