What is IO-Link? IO-Link is a point-to-point serial communication protocol used to communicate with sensors and/or actuators. This increasingly deployed protocol extends the globally recognized PLC standard IEC 61131, which allows three types of data to be exchanged: process data, service data and events.
Major sensor manufacturers and industrial manufacturing companies, including Comtrol, have joined the international IO-Link Consortium to promote the IO-Link communication protocol due to its many advantages over standard I/O.
Why IO-Link? IO-Link is a powerful, yet simple, protocol with wide support in the industry. There are many resons to use IO-Link. In almost any place that a digital or analog sensor is used, an IO-Link sensor can provide the end user significantly more information, configurability and control. From installation to operation and even maintenance of an automation system, IO-Link provides clear advantages over legacy solutions.
Why Comtrol and IO-Link Master? Comtrol is an expert device connectivity manufacturer and provider of networking products, specializing in industrial Ethernet gateways and intelligent device connectivity products. These products support a wide range of industrial, security, energy utility, and traffic automation applications. The company’s product lines are sold through regional, national and international distributors and by numerous resellers and integrators worldwide.
Comtrol has a proven record of innovation. The company invented the first multi-port serial controller card for the PC in the early 1980’s and has consistently been first to market many other high-performance connectivity products that have been widely adopted by the data and network communications industries. Comtrol has been manufacturing EtherNet/IP gateways from their introduction and has pioneered many innovative solutions. As a North American company, Comtrol is intently aware of the importance of implementing the EtherNet/IP protocol in a powerful and easy-to-use manner. As a member of the IO-Link Consortium, Comtrol is in a unique position to integrate the strengths of both protocols.

Comtrol’s IO-Link Master EIP-4 combines the benefits of the IO-Link standard with the EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols. The IO-Link Master effectively shields the PLC programmers from the IO-Link complexities by handling those complexities itself. The result is simplified EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP interfaces, which decreases system development time and installation efforts.
The IO-Link Master features a rugged IP67 slim-line design incorporating two Fast Ethernet ports and four IO-Link ports with M12 connectors. Designed for harsh environments, its machine-mount design uses industrial grade components. The IO-Link Master is easily integrated into a system network, and is compatible with existing and new industrial Ethernet installations.
