What is Happening on my Factory Floor?
How do I easily track recurring causes
of downtime?
How do I shorten the amount of time
the line is down?
How do I get more utilization and
flexibility out of my equipment?
How do I get maintenance technicians
able to support Ethernet?
How do I know what is happening
now and what happened in the past?
Can I get that sensor with Ethernet?

Universal
• Vendor Neutral & Open Standard (IEC 61131-9)
• Similar to USB's "plug & play" feature
• Uses Existing Infrastructures & Networks
IO-Link is NOT a Network
For Computer
Technology
= For Automation

Smart
• Store/Change Parameters of Devices
• Reports Detailed Diagnostics
• Provides Event Warnings
Faster
Troubleshooting!

Eliminating Planned & Unplanned Downtime
On The Fly Configuration
• Store settings in the control
• Swap settings as needed
Fast Change-out
• Store settings in the control/master
• Swap smart sensors w/o programming

Keep the Network Communicating
IO-Link Masters are out of harms way
IO-Link Slaves are in the danger zone
Reduce the Risk of Network Failure!
Simple Sensor Cables & Protection

Case Study: Improved Troubleshooting, Diagnostics & Quick-Change
• "Balluff EtherNet/IP Machine Mount I/O products
were selected because it allowed for easier
troubleshooting for my maintenance crews . My
guys on 3rd shift had trouble finding the issue
and they would sometimes make it worse by
fiddling with things inside the controls cabinet."
~Controls Engineer @ Tier Supplier
• 16 points of analog pressure measurement being
converted to IO-Link pressure sensors:
When there is downtime in the factory
and a maintenance guy has to replace
the pressure sensor “they never set it
up right, so then the machine doesn’t
work right and then we have quality
issues.”

Data Visibility: Traceability with RFID
IO-Link RFID is the easiest RFID
to implement in the market, "Tag
is present, data is in the bitmap."
Traceability Enables… enhanced quality
achieve JIT (Just-In-Time)
lean manufacturing
regulatory compliance

Build Data
What are we trying to build?
Data Visibility: Production Control (WIP)
Traceability ROIs with Production Control
• Enable flexible manufacturing
• Track the rework process
• Effectively handle product recalls
• Maintain regulatory compliance
• Manage Work-in-Process (WIP)
Lineage Data
Where did it come from?
Process Data
How well did we build it?
Trick is Tag on
Pallet or Part?
www.balluff.com
Case Study: Seating Factory
Tracking Build & Process Data
• What are we building?
• Did we build it correctly?
Data Tag
www.balluff.com
Data Visibility: Asset Tracking (plant based assets)
Sub-Systems Molds & Dies Machine
Tools
Totes &
Containers
Traceability ROIs with Asset Tracking
• Increased asset utilization & productivity
• Assurance that correct asset is used
• Reduction in asset losses
• Reduction in asset's non-productive time
Trick is getting the
Tag on the Asset!

Case Study: Comau Smart Cell
• Quick-Change Robotic End Effectors
• RFID for Tool Identification
• Non-Contact Couplers for Quick-Change
• Discrete I/O Hub for Cylinder & Position Sensors
• Reduced total in-station time
• Improved throughput 15%
