GPower Is Now Part of the IO-Link Community

Based on our IO-Link Toolkit for LabVIEW and TestStand, we are now part of the IO-Link.com Community. The goal of the community is to develop IO-Link as a technology among others. Learn more about IO-Link, see members, and download our free toolkit right here!

What is IO-Link?

IO-Link is the first standardized IO technology worldwide (IEC 61131-9) for the communication with sensors and actuators. The powerful point-to-point communication is based on the long established 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without additional requirements regarding the cable material. So, IO-Link is no fieldbus but the further development of the existing, tried-and-tested connection technology for sensors and actuators.

As example, the system architecture could look as follows which is based on LabVIEW and TestStand:

GPower IO-Link

Even though IO-Link has been around for more than a decade there has been no easy way to connect the devices with the NI tool chain. This is why the GPower IO-Link is revolutionary. By installing just one toolkit you gain access to data from more than 30.000 devices right in your LabVIEW code. Moreover, we have taken our own medicine and utilized our IO-Link LabVIEW Toolkit to build a set of IO-Link step types for TestStand.
