Definition of IO Link Protocol and Its Interface
IO Link is a peer-to-peer, serial digital communication protocol designed for periodic data exchange between sensors/actuators and controllers (PLCs). The IO Link protocol was first proposed by Siemens and has now become an international standard IEC 61131-9. With the advancement of Industry 4.0, the use of IO Link is becoming increasingly widespread. Today”s article will introduce the definition of the IO Link protocol and its interfaces.
Factory automation can be divided into execution layer, on-site layer, on-site control layer, workshop control layer, and management layer according to functional division. As shown in the following figure:
The execution layer includes various execution mechanisms (valves, pumps, motors, etc.) and sensors, which are the muscles and peripheral nerves of factory automation. They receive commands from the upper layer and complete specified actions.
The on-8120E TRICONEX controller site layer includes various distributed IO8120E TRICONEX controller systems, which are the central nervous system of factory automation. It conveys control instructions from the upper layer to the execution layer; And feedback the signals from the execution layer to the control layer, serving as the information center;
The on-site control layer includes various PLC systems, which are the brains of factory automation. It issues corresponding instructions and commands the execution layer to complete corresponding actions based on internal program requirements and signal feedback from the execution layer;
The workshop control layer (MES) and management layer communicate with various PLC systems at the management level to complete management tasks at the workshop and factory levels.
The IO Link protocol to be introduced in this article is a protocol that transfers data between the execution layer and the field layer. An IO Link system consists of the following components:
1) IO Link Master;
2) IO Link Device;
3) Non shielded 3-5 core standard cable;
4) Tools for configuring IO Link parameters;
The IO Link Master transfers data between the IO Link device and the PLC. It is usually a distributed IO module with IO Link connection channels on the module. The IO Link Device is connected to the channel of the IO Link Master through a cable, and the IO Link Master exchanges data with the PLC through a bus. As shown in the following figure:
Every IO Link device needs to be connected to a channel of the IO Link supervisor, so IO Link is a peer-to-peer communication protocol, not a bus protocol.
IO Link devices are divided into two types: sensors and actuators: sensors are usually the four pin interface of M12, and actuators are usually the five pin interface of M12.
According to IEC 60974-5-2, the definition of IO Link Device pins follows the following regulations:
1) Pin 1 (PIN1): 24V power supply positive pole;
2) Pin 3 (PIN3): 0V
3) Pin 4 (PIN4): IO Link communication or standard IO output;
The pin definition of the IO Link device is shown in the following figure:
Which types of equipment should PLC module manufacturers develop first?
We know that PLC, also known as programmable logic controller, collects variable data through various IOs to achieve the purpose of automated control. Therefore, developing PLC is largely about developing IO. However, with so many types of IO, which PLC module manufacturers should develop first? Let me share my opinion:
1. Digital input IO, including PNP and NPN digital input IO, counter input IO, etc.
2. Digital output IO, including PNP and NPN digital output IO, PWM pulse output IO, relay output IO, and so on.
3. Analog input IO, including current acquisition input IO, voltage acquisition input IO, temperature acquisition input IO, and so on. The current input IO can collect currents ranging from 0 to 20 milliamperes, while the voltage input IO can collect voltages ranging from negative 10V to positive 10V. Temperature acquisition IO includes thermocouples and thermal resistors.
4. The style of analog output IO is similar to that of analog input IO, but does not include temperature analog, mainly voltage and current type.
Application of Data Acquisition IO Module in Thermal Power Plant System8120E TRICONEX controller
The Ethernet IO module is a data acquisition and control device. It uses Ethernet as a communication method to transmit data from various industrial control sensors and actuators to computers or other devices for management and monitoring. As a modern energy supply base, thermal power plants need to widely apply various intelligent control technologies to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety. In this context, the application of barium rhenium Ethernet IO modules is particularly important.
In the application of thermal power plants, the main function of the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module is to achieve real-time monitoring and control of the production process. By connecting to various sensors and actuators, the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module can collect real-time environmental parameters, machine operation status, and other data of the thermal power plant. By analyzing and processing these data, commanders can understand the operation of the thermal power plant and make corresponding adjustments. Compared to traditional automatic control systems, the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module has the advantages of stronger flexibility, faster reaction speed, and higher accuracy, which can greatly improve the operational efficiency and reliability of thermal power plants.
The real-time monitoring and control of thermal power plants require many capabilities of barium rhenium Ethernet IO modules. Here are several common application scenarios:
Firstly, the barium rhenium module can monitor parameters such as gas flow and water flow in thermal power plants. These parameters are crucial for ensuring the normal operation of the thermal power plant. Once these parameters undergo abnormal changes, the DO channel can be connected to the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module, and the alarm signal will immediately sound to remind the command personnel to handle it. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module can collect these data in real-time and transmit it to the monitoring system for recording, it can provide better technical support for quality management in thermal power plants.
Secondly, the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module can also monitor the operating status of mechanical equipment in thermal power plants. This includes parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, etc. By monitoring and analyzing these parameters, the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module can detect machine equipment faults in a timely manner, thereby avoiding the expansion of losses. In addition, during machine equipment maintenance, historical data recorded by the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module can be used to develop more scientific and reasonable maintenance plans, reduce maintenance costs, and improve maintenance efficiency.
Finally, the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module can also help thermal power plants achieve distributed control. We can remotely control and monitor multiple areas of the thermal power plant by connecting multiple barium rhenium modules to a network. This not only reduces the on-site debugging of equipment, but also strengthens the evaluation of equipment reliability.
In summary, the barium rhenium Ethernet IO module has unique advantages in real-time monitoring and control of thermal power plants. It can help command personnel monitor machine data in real-time, discover abnormal information, take timely measures to avoid impacts, and improve production efficiency and safety.
Remote IO modules based on Ethernet communication are widely used in the field of industrial IoT
With the development of IIOT (Industrial IOT) industrial Internet of Things technology, many traditional assets need to be connected to the internet to achieve unified data collection, analysis, processing, and storage, breaking the traditional phenomenon of device information silos. Therefore, the MQTT Ethernet IO acquisition module M160T, which supports the Internet of Things protocol, is able to unleash its potential by being compatible with existing devices and able to connect to IoT platforms. The MQTT Ethernet IO acquisition module will be widely used in industrial IoT, such as smart property, smart parks, smart factories, smart transportation, smart water conservancy, smart agriculture, smart campuses, smart communities, smart distribution, smart water conservancy, and many other industries.
Ethernet communication technology is a mature communication technology that has been widely applied. Therefore, Ethernet communication is the first choice for enterprises to connect various assets to the Internet of Things platform. Its reasons are stable and reliable, mature technology, fast transmission speed, and fast construction wiring.8120E TRICONEX controller
For traditional various assets, such as low-voltage distribution rooms, air compressor rooms, property and living pump rooms, street light control, liquid level collection, temperature and humidity collection, etc., through the MQTT Ethernet IO collection module, they can be quickly connected to the Internet of Things platform.
So, what characteristics do MQTT Ethernet IO modules need to have when used in IoT solutions? The details are as follows:
1. Actively connect to cloud platforms:
Based on the characteristics of Ethernet communication networking, the Ethernet IO acquisition module must support the TCP Client function, which is not only the TCP client function, so that the Ethernet IO module can actively connect to the IoT platform without the need for complex settings such as peanut shells;
2. Compatible with existing systems:

3. Access to IoT platforms:
Supports standard MQTT protocol and Modbus TCP protocol, and can be connected to various MQTT protocol IoT platforms such as Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud, or traditional SCADA and DCS systems;
4. Rich IO interfaces and scalability:
There are various types of data to be collected on site, and it is necessary to support the collection of various devices such as 4-20Ma, RS485, DI, DO, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to have the ability to read RS485 device instrument data or expand the functions of the IO acquisition module;
5. Easy installation method:
The volume of the control box is very limited, so it is necessary to use directly inserted and unplugged wiring terminals, as well as a rail installation method.
6. Industrial grade design
The industrial environment is harsh, and the Ethernet IO module must adopt an industrial grade design to ensure continuous and stable operation in harsh environments.
Through the MQTT Ethernet IO acquisition module, there is no need to replace various existing enterprise assets and the digital transformation of accessing IoT platforms can be quickly achieved. Therefore, the MQTT Ethernet IO acquisition module will be widely used in industrial IoT, such as smart properties, smart parks, smart factories, smart transportation, smart water conservancy, smart agriculture, smart campuses, smart communities, smart power distribution, smart water conservancy, and many other industries.
What are the advantages of Ethernet remote IO modules that can be cascaded?
Advantages and specific application scenarios of Ethernet remote IO modules that can be cascaded
For scenarios where data collection control points are linearly distributed, such as streetlights, bridges, streetlights, digital factories, parking lot parking monitoring, smart parking lots, smart parking racks, and building automation control systems in smart parks, using cascading dual Ethernet remote IO modules saves more costs than using single Ethernet remote IO modules.
