Stellar Controls Ltd distribute the entire Carlo Gavazzi product range to a wide range of industries across the whole of the UK. Data Collection is integral to Industry 4.0 and for sensors and actuators, IO-Link is the ideal method to obtain status and diagnostic information from proximity sensors.

IO-Link is a universal open communication standard protocol that allows IO-link enabled devices to exchange, collect and analyse data and convert it to actionable information.

When the IO-Link sensor is connected to an IO-Link port, the IO-Link master sends a wake-up request to the sensor, which automatically switches to IO-Link mode, and a point-to-point bidirectional communication automatically starts between the master and the sensor. 

Inductive IO-Link sensors are available in M4 to M30 sizes and feature adjustable sensing distance and hysteresis, time delay, RPM monitoring, counting and a temperature alarm. In addition, it can be set up for single point, two point or window mode operation. 

Capacitive IO-Link sensors are available in M18 and M30 sizes and feature adjustable sensing distance and hysteresis, time delay, low and high temperature alarm. In addition, it can be set up for single point, two point or window mode operation.
