Application of IO Link in Industrial Automation
This article mainly introduces the overall solution of ST IO Link communication master station used in industrial systems, including the following 5 aspects:
Firstly, the application of IO Link in industrial automation; The second is the introduction of ST IO Link main station transceiver; The third is the introduction of our ST”s IO Link main site evaluation board; The fourth is an introduction to the reference design scheme of the IO Link main station; The fifth is a demonstration of the IO Link master station reference design.
The industrial automation system can be said to be composed of many levels. The top level is usually industrial Ethernet to transmit data to the upper control center or monitoring center of the factory, while the middle layer is usually some PLC system for specialized process processing, such as controlling a specialized assembly line or production line. At the bottom, there are usually many industrial sensors, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, or proximity sensors, as well as some actuators, such as valves, moving lights, relays, or contactors, which are used for collecting and controlling physical quantities.
Between these levels, there will also be some modules or gateways for conversion and processing work. Therefore, in traditional industrial systems, there are many different level standards and communication protocols on site, resulting in poor modularity and versatility. Because there are both analog signals on site, such as a 4 to 20 mA current loop and analog voltage signals, as well as digital signals. In such an environment, analog signals are particularly susceptible to interference from harsh on-site environments. At the same time, sensors or actuators for analog transmission cannot perform on-site remote configuration or calibration 3626X Safety Instrumented System (SIS) diagnosis work. In order to solve the transmission of the last segment of data to sensors and actuators in industrial field environments, as described earlier, we have introduced a specialized digital interface IO Link to achieve fully digital transmission between the interface modules of sensors and industrial field buses. The bidirectional data transmission makes it possible to parameterize the interaction of on-site data, diagnose and transmit information. By using this technology, remote condition monitoring and predictable maintenance of terminal equipment can be achieved, thereby effectively alleviating the problem of production line downtime.
Its advantages include:3626X Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
Firstly, whether it is a pure digital sensor, an analog sensor after digital quantization, or different types of actuators, unified access can be achieved, thus achieving a simplified and standardized system architecture. Secondly, the transmission of digital signals will have stronger anti-interference ability than the transmission of analog signals, so the reliability of the system will also be stronger. Thirdly, through the bidirectional transmission of digital signals, more intelligent and advanced actuators or sensors can be used, making it easier to achieve status monitoring and system diagnostic protection functions. In this way, any issues and status of the production line can be monitored and maintained in real-time, ensuring the reliability, maintainability, and upgradability of the entire production line, thereby ensuring the minimum downtime.
The following is the specific content about IO Link technology
Firstly, the definition of the IO LINK standard enables data transmission, processing, configuration, and diagnostic information exchange between sensors or actuators and control systems. Secondly, this is a simple peer-to-peer communication architecture, where a master port is connected to a device port. Then, it can achieve compatibility with existing communication architectures, such as reusing cables and interfaces. At the same time, the IO Link system also has backward compatibility upgrade capability, as the master end of the system uses digital binary serial communication to interact with devices, and vice versa.
It can be said that IO link makes the system simpler:
Firstly, this is a universal standard communication method that complies with IEC61131-9. Secondly, IO Link is an intelligent communication system that solves the digital information exchange and transmission of the last distance from the control host to the terminal device. Thirdly, IO Link is simple to use and can be said to be plug and play, compatible with some existing system devices.
Some related products and solutions provided by ST in IO Link communication solutions
Firstly, in this communication system, the IO Link Master, which connects to the upper computer controller, is one of the main key solutions that will be mentioned later. Secondly, ST can provide some communication chips on the IO Link Master project, such as L6360. On the other side of the sensor or actuator end, namely the IO Link Slave end, ST can provide communication chips L6362A and L6364 on this IO Link Slave slave project. According to standards, this three-wire point-to-point communication method is easily compatible with some existing sensor actuators” standard ports, such as M12 standard industrial connectors and M12 standard connector wires. In addition, its advantages include the ability to achieve point-to-point bidirectional signal transmission within a single cable, as well as the general power supply requirements of the master end to the sensor actuator. According to the general requirements of the current industry, the maximum length of this cable is 20 meters, and the three wires inside are 24V, 0V, and data cables. The L+of this chip can support up to 500 milliamperes. If greater current is needed, there are also other L+drivers, including Load Switch IPS and other products, which can provide greater current or can be applied externally. The IO Link communication speed can generally reach a baud rate of 230.4K per COM3, and it also has functions such as status indication and detection.
For some specific application characteristics of IO Link, the communication transceiver system composed of L6360 and L6362A can support three standard data types of IO Link, namely COM1 (4.8k), COM2 (38.4K), and COM3 (230.4K) modes. This communication system can meet the requirements of all modern standards, industrial sensors, and actuators: firstly, it can quickly and very easily configure or reconfigure sensors or actuators. Secondly, it can be widely applied to various standardized sensors or systems that execute information. Thirdly, as a digital communication system, compared to traditional analog signal transmission systems, it can reduce power consumption and improve system efficiency. Fourthly, it has complete diagnostic and protection functions, which can improve the reliability of related systems. Therefore, it can be widely used to drive various digital sensors and actuators, as well as input and output modules of PLC, in order to achieve and meet various requirements of Industry 4.0.
How to Determine the Interference Problem of PROFINET IO Communication
Preliminary Diagnosis of PROFINET Interference Problems
1. Overview
When debugging PROFINET IO communication, it is common to encounter communication failures. One of the reasons for communication failures is interference. PROFINET IO communication equipment often operates in complex industrial electromagnetic environments, and incorrect shielding grounding or non-standard installation may lead to communication interference problems. Since optical signals are not affected by electromagnetic interference, this article only introduces interference problems with electrical signals.
2. How to determine interference issues
If PROFINET IO communication is affected by electromagnetic interference, a simple judgment can generally be made through the following aspects:
2.1. Judging the communication status through PROFINET IO
If the following communication phenomena are found during PROFINET IO communication debugging or operation, it may be affected by electromagnetic interference:
① Occasionally, communication is interrupted and restored.
② When certain on-site devices or specific operations are turned on, communication is interrupted, and on the contrary, communication returns to normal.
2.2. By using STEP7 online diagnostic information to determine and view the diagnostic buffer information of the IO controller, how to detect the presence of frequent communication failures and recovery information between the IO controller and IO devices in the diagnostic buffer, as shown in the following figure, may be affected by electromagnetic interference:
14 STEP7 Device Diagnostic Buffer Information
3. How to troubleshoot and solve interference problems
If a suspected electromagnetic interference causing PROFINET IO communication failure is found, how should we troubleshoot and solve it? The following will be introduced from the following aspects:
3.1 Increase PROFINET IO communication watchdog time
Due to PROFINET IO communication failure occurring during watchdog time, the IO controller did not provide input or output data (IO data) to the IO device, and watchdog time=the number of update cycles allowed for IO data loss × The refresh time is usually automatically calculated and allocated by the IO controller. This time value is generally small. If electromagnetic interference is encountered, the probability of communication failure occurring within the automatically calculated watchdog time will increase. At this time, we can appropriately increase the PROFINET IO communication refresh time or the number of update cycles allowed for IO data loss to increase the watchdog time. However, this method may not solve serious electromagnetic interference problems, and it is recommended to eliminate and solve them through subsequent methods.

The MXXE series remote IO module is designed at an industrial level, suitable for industrial IoT and automation control systems. The MXXE industrial Ethernet remote I/O is equipped with two Ethernet ports for MAC layer data exchange chips, allowing data to flow down from the expandable daisy chain Ethernet remote I/O array to another local Ethernet device or up to the server.
Factory automation, security, and monitoring systems, as well as tunnel communication applications, can utilize daisy chain Ethernet to build multi-point I/O networks through standard Ethernet cables. Many industrial automation users are familiar with the most commonly used multipoint configurations in fieldbus solutions. The daisy chain function of MxxXE remote I/O not only improves the scalability and installation possibility of remote I/O applications, but also reduces the overall cost by reducing the need for individual Ethernet switches. This daisy chain equipment installation method will also reduce overall labor and wiring costs.
The difference between Ethernet remote IO module and industrial computer IO board card
The application of Ethernet remote IO module is very extensive, mainly used for distributed data collection and control, especially suitable for situations where data points are scattered and control points are scattered.
The traditional approach is to connect various instrument signals directly to the IO card through cables using an industrial computer and an IO board card. This method has high wiring costs and high signal attenuation.
The Ethernet remote IO module can directly connect the IO module to the PLC or industrial control computer, and connect the IO to the PLC or industrial control computer through an Ethernet cable. Various instrument controller signals can be directly connected to the Ethernet IO module nearby, which has several advantages:
1. It saves industrial control computers and IO boards, and Ethernet IO modules can be directly connected to the upper computer system;
2. Replacing 4-20mA signal transmission with 10/100MHz Ethernet transmission has improved transmission speed;
3. Replacing various instrument controller signal lines with an Ethernet cable reduces the attenuation of remote signal transmission;
4. The signal cable of the instrument controller only needs to be connected to the Ethernet IO module, greatly reducing cable costs and wiring workload;
5. The M160T series Ethernet remote IO module can also be directly transmitted to the Internet of Things platform through MQTT for remote monitoring.
The profinet to Modubs distributed remote IO module has now been applied in many fields, and Huajie Intelligent Control has implemented profinet remote IO modules that support Siemens 200smart, 3001200, and 1500.
Huajie Intelligent Control distributed IO supports Modubs 16D 16DO 32DI 32 DO, with flexible on-site installation, which can be installed nearby with sensors and actuators, saving wiring and PLC”s own IO points. Provides high-speed data transmission, enabling reliable communication between the controller CPU and I/O system
The advantage of using profinet distributed remote IO module in profinet is that the wiring is simple, only one network cable is needed, and each point is collected and controlled through the remote IO module. The program is controlled by Siemens 1200 or 1500, which not only reduces wiring work but also reduces wire costs
Huajie Intelligent Control has good compatibility with distributed IO and has expanded other bus based distributed IO systems, which can also help you more rationalize the management of your distributed remote devices and achieve unlimited expansion. The supporting software can assist with configuration, debugging, and diagnosis of your system. There are multiple series of models available, including HJ3204 to HJ3209, with stable performance and affordable prices, Provide maximum convenience for enterprise engineering.
