Learn more about intelligent communication technologies such as IO-Link, RFID, or Ethernet-APL, which enable transparent and digitized processes in your plant. These key technologies for setting up IIoT networks ensure reliable data transmission from the field level to the controller, to software systems, and into the cloud. In addition, Pepperl+Fuchs offers an IoT system based on an ultrasonic sensor using LoRaWAN® technology, which autonomously transmits data over a range of several kilometers.

IO-Link Device Offline Parameterization Using PACTware

When connected to an IO-Link master, IO-Link devices offer a variety of benefits to the control systems in a plant, such as online configuration and parameterization, simplified device exchange, and even data acquisition via OPC UA and MQTT. For commissioning and test reasons, however, you may wish to configure and parameterize an IO-Link device outside the plant. This blog article supports you in offline parameterization of IO-Link devices using PACTware.

How RFID with IO-Link Eases Machine Access

The use of RFID for machine access control and operation is nothing new. Depending on the application, different frequency ranges are used, either LF, HF, or UHF. Recently, there has been a trend that HF read/write heads with IO-Link are increasingly being used for precisely these applications. In this blog article we take a closer look at this topic and show you possible use cases.

4 Ways to Digitalize Your Factory

4 Ways to Digitalize Your Factory Digitalization can be daunting. But with the right technologies, you can take the following steps to prepare your factory for Industry 4.0: 1) Connect Your Serial Devices to Ethernet If your factory uses barcode scanners, weight scales, RFID readers, or other equipment with a serial interface, a serial-to-Ethernet gateway will enable you to connect these devices to your system network. This gives you the ability to control, monitor, and communicate with the serial devices in your plant from a PLC or industrial PC. With web-based configuration, example programs, and windows-based management application, [...]
