In this section you'll find several sets of downloadable files, ranging from simple forms to join PI to executables to help you engineer and commission PROFIBUS and PROFINET devices. Much of it is free, although to get some files you'll need to join PI to gain access. The 'key' icon tells you which file needs a password.
IO-Link is not a new field bus, but rather a point-to-point connection between a peripheral module and an I/O field device. It is based on the familiar 3-wire connection for a digital switching signal, whereby the signal is implemented as a serial telegram. In this way additional information in the form of a serial protocol between the I/O level and the field device can be exchanged.
For more details on IO-Link just download the Image brochure for IO-Link, 6 pages, 4-colour
