Industry 4.0
Pyrometers with IO-Link interface
CellaTemp® PK/PKF/PKL and PX series
The devices in the CellaTemp® PK/PKF/PKL and PX series are equipped with the new IO-Link communication interface in accordance with IEC 61131-9. IO-Link is considered one of the key requirements for the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0).
Why actually IO-Link?
IO-Link is a standardized communication technology. It lets sensors and actuators "talk". Simply plug in the cable and off you go. IO-Link is a digital point-to-point communication that "gets along" with any fieldbus. Sounds simple? It is! IO-Link is investment-safe, innovative and economical!
Reduce your costs
Parameterizable sensors and actuators reduce the variety of device types required. This reduces complexity in procurement and creates space in the warehouse.
Realize innovative machine concepts.
Only consistent communication to every sensor and actuator opens up all the functions of intelligent devices. This expands the possibilities for the development of more innovative machines and plants.
Shorten commissioning times
IO-Link communication runs over unshielded cables and uses industry-standard connectors. This saves time and nerves when replacing devices.
Increase the productivity of your machines.
IO-Link devices identify and parameterize themselves automatically. This simplifies the replacement of defective components and reduces repair-related downtimes of machines and systems.
Revolutionize your maintenance
Intelligent IO-Link devices offer self-diagnosis functions. This enables new, predictive repair and maintenance concepts.
