Expandable IO-Link slave is one of your indispensable choices

Expandable refers to an expansion capability provided by the system in order to cope with changes in future requirements. When new requirements arise, the system can support them with no or only a small amount of changes, without the need to reconstruct or rebuild the entire system.

Using a traditional IO-Link master station with eight IO-Link slave stations with 16 signal points (input/output configurable), one IO-Link master station can connect up to 128 signal points (input/output configurable). configuration);

if the usage environment needs to increase signal points, the number of IO-Link master stations needs to be increased, which will lead to an increase in connection costs; at this time, the IO-Link slave station scalability function can not only reduce the use of IO-Link master stations quantity, and each signal point can save 15% to 20% of the cost.

Fuyansheng IO-Link slave station has scalable functionality. From the first level of connecting 8 IO-Link slave stations from one IO-Link master station, the second level IO-Link slave station can be expanded; thus Implementing an IO-Link master station can connect up to 256 signal points (input/output configurable), thus saving the cost of each point by 15% to 20%.

Note: Can an IO-Link master station only connect 256 signal points? Not so. The above 256 signal points are based on the selection of 8 16 signal point (input/output configurable) IO-Link slave modules; in fact, Shangfu Yansheng also has 32-point IP20 IO-Link slave stations. 24-bit double coil IO-Link valve island, so under some ideal circumstances a master station can not only connect up to 256 signal points.
