Balluff’s Wireless IO-Link system reduces the need for cumbersome cables, offering a reliable and high-performance communication standard that simplifies integration, enhances mobility, and reduces wear and tear on connectors and cables. With its easy installation and configuration, whether you're looking to upgrade your existing systems or design new ones, the IO-Link Wireless System by Balluff is your ideal solution for efficient and effective industrial communication.
The wireless system consists of a master, hub and bridge. The wireless master does not receive its data by cable, as is usually the case, but receives the sensor data via a bridge or hub by radio. This brings significant advantages over a wired system - including easier planning and installation, more flexibility in design and mobility, and makes it easier to retrofit existing systems.
