Definition of IO Link Protocol and Its Interface
IO Link is a peer-to-peer, serial digital communication protocol designed for periodic data exchange between sensors/actuators and controllers (PLCs). The IO Link protocol was first proposed by Siemens and has now become an international standard IEC 61131-9. With the advancement of Industry 4.0, the use of IO Link is becoming increasingly widespread. Today”s article will introduce the definition of the IO Link protocol and its interfaces.
Factory automation can be divided into execution layer, on-site layer, on-site control layer, workshop control layer, and management layer according to functional division. As shown in the following figure:
The execution layer includes various execution mechanisms (valves, pumps, motors, etc.) and sensors, which are the muscles and peripheral nerves of factory automation. They receive commands from the upper layer and complete specified actions.
The on-3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS) site layer includes various distributed IO3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS) systems, which are the central nervous system of factory automation. It conveys control instructions from the upper layer to the execution layer; And feedback the signals from the execution layer to the control layer, serving as the information center;
The on-site control layer includes various PLC systems, which are the brains of factory automation. It issues corresponding instructions and commands the execution layer to complete corresponding actions based on internal program requirements and signal feedback from the execution layer;
The workshop control layer (MES) and management layer communicate with various PLC systems at the management level to complete management tasks at the workshop and factory levels.
The IO Link protocol to be introduced in this article is a protocol that transfers data between the execution layer and the field layer. An IO Link system consists of the following components:
1) IO Link Master;
2) IO Link Device;
3) Non shielded 3-5 core standard cable;
4) Tools for configuring IO Link parameters;
The IO Link Master transfers data between the IO Link device and the PLC. It is usually a distributed IO module with IO Link connection channels on the module. The IO Link Device is connected to the channel of the IO Link Master through a cable, and the IO Link Master exchanges data with the PLC through a bus. As shown in the following figure:
Every IO Link device needs to be connected to a channel of the IO Link supervisor, so IO Link is a peer-to-peer communication protocol, not a bus protocol.
IO Link devices are divided into two types: sensors and actuators: sensors are usually the four pin interface of M12, and actuators are usually the five pin interface of M12.
According to IEC 60974-5-2, the definition of IO Link Device pins follows the following regulations:
1) Pin 1 (PIN1): 24V power supply positive pole;
2) Pin 3 (PIN3): 0V
3) Pin 4 (PIN4): IO Link communication or standard IO output;
The pin definition of the IO Link device is shown in the following figure:
Which types of equipment should PLC module manufacturers develop first?
We know that PLC, also known as programmable logic controller, collects variable data through various IOs to achieve the purpose of automated control. Therefore, developing PLC is largely about developing IO. However, with so many types of IO, which PLC module manufacturers should develop first? Let me share my opinion:
1. Digital input IO, including PNP and NPN digital input IO, counter input IO, etc.
2. Digital output IO, including PNP and NPN digital output IO, PWM pulse output IO, relay output IO, and so on.
3. Analog input IO, including current acquisition input IO, voltage acquisition input IO, temperature acquisition input IO, and so on. The current input IO can collect currents ranging from 0 to 20 milliamperes, while the voltage input IO can collect voltages ranging from negative 10V to positive 10V. Temperature acquisition IO includes thermocouples and thermal resistors.
4. The style of analog output IO is similar to that of analog input IO, but does not include temperature analog, mainly voltage and current type.
What are the characteristics of a demonstration system based on IO Link slave stations
IO Link is an industrial communication interface that is independent of any fieldbus and suitable for simple sensors and actuators at the lowest level of industrial control. The IO Link system includes IO Link devices (such as sensors and actuators), IO Link master stations, and cables for standard sensors. The system structure is shown in Figure 1. For example, when a remote IO module compatible with EtherNet/IP serves as the master station, in addition to standard I/O signals, the module sends and receives configuration data, diagnostic data, or enhanced process data through a pulse modulation process, which is then packaged into EtherNet/IP data packets and finally transmitted to the network master station, usually a PLC. In the above applications, the connection between remote I/O and IO Link devices remains the same as that of traditional discrete devices. The advantage of IO Link mainly lies in its greater information exchange capability, which was previously impossible to achieve with standard I/O devices. Another advantage of IO Link is that it does not rely on any fieldbus, and through any I/O module that complies with the IO Link protocol (including local I/O and remote I/O), IO Link sensors or actuators can be integrated into any fieldbus system.
In order to further study the architecture, communication mechanism, and development application of the IO Link system, an IO Link slave toolkit can be designed and developed, including a universal development module for IO Link, an IO Link analysis tool, and an IO Link slave protocol stack. The IO Link universal development module is the foundation for this work and also serves as a bridge between the IO Link master station and equipment signals. The IO Link analysis tool can help developers and testers analyze communication details to identify and solve problems. The IO Link slave protocol stack is a firmware library that provides a hardware abstraction layer and application program interface, allowing developers to easily and quickly develop IO Link slave products on various microprocessor platforms. The IO Link slave station studied in this article only focuses on digital (button) signal input and digital signal output (indicator light). The design of the IO Link universal development module only needs to be expanded on this basis to have the ability to process analog signals.
The IO Link Master module used in this article, USB IO Link Master, can connect IO Link devices to a PC, which can be configured and tested through the IO Link Device Tool software or demonstrated device functionality. IO Link devices must be described through a device description file (IODD file), which includes a set of XML text files and PNG graphic files, which contain information about device identification, communication characteristics, parameters, process data, and diagnostic data. The portion within the elliptical dashed line in Figure 2 is an IO Link three wire cable, with L+/I – being a 24 V DC power supply and C/Q being a signal line used to transmit process data, diagnostic data, configuration data, etc. The IO Link universal development module is mainly composed of data transceivers and microprocessors. It can process input signals from sensors and transmit information to the IO Link master station. It can also receive and process data information from the master station and transmit it to the actuator. The IO Link analysis tool can help developers view, record, analyze data, and understand communication details. This part of the design is not discussed in this article.
Introduction to IO Link Communication Mode3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
IO Link devices can operate in SIO mode (standard I/O mode) or IO Link mode (communication mode). After power on, the device always operates in SIO mode. The port of the main station has different configuration methods. If configured in SIO mode, the main station considers the port as a standard digital input. If configured in communication mode, the main station will automatically identify the communicable devices for communication.
2.1 Data Types3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
The three basic data types for IO Link communication are periodic data (or process data PD), non periodic data (or service data SD), and event.
The process data (PD) of the device is transmitted periodically in the form of a data frame, while service data (SD) is only exchanged after the master station issues a request. Figure 3 shows a typical IO Link message structure. When an event occurs, the “event flag” of the device is set, and the main station reads the reported event (service data cannot be exchanged during the reading process) upon detecting the setting. Therefore, events such as pollution, overheating, short circuits, or device status can be transmitted to the PLC or visualization software through the main station
2.2 Parameter data exchange
Since service data (SD) must be transmitted through PLC requests, SPDU (Service Protocol Data Unit) is defined. In the main station, requests for read and write services are written to SPDU and transmitted to devices through the IO Link interface.
The general structure of SPDU is shown in Figure 4, and its arrangement order is consistent with the transmission order. The elements in SPDU can take different forms depending on the type of service. SPDU allows access to data objects that are intended for transmission, while Index is used to specify the address of the requested data object on the remote IO Link device. In IO Link, there is a term called direct parameter page, which stores parameter information such as minimum cycle time, supplier ID, and master station commands. The data objects accessible in the direct parameter page can be selectively provided through SPDU.
HMT7742 is an IO Link slave transceiver chip that serves as a bridge between the MCU of external sensors or actuators and the 24V signal line that supports IO Link communication. When the IO Link device is connected to the master station, the master station initializes communication and exchanges data with the MCU. HMT7742 serves as the physical layer for communication.
Due to the fact that the three indicator lights (rated voltage 24 V) controlled by the output port of the MCU are powered by the IO Link power cord, it is necessary to monitor the current on the power cord in order to trigger appropriate corrective measures when the current exceeds a set threshold, such as removing the indicator lights from the IO Link power cord. The current monitoring module uses an INA194 current detection amplifier. As a high detection current detector, INA194 is directly connected to the power supply and can detect all downstream faults. It has a very high common mode rejection ratio, as well as a large bandwidth and response speed. It can amplify the voltage on the induction resistor 5O times and output it to the forward input terminal AIN0 of the MCU internal voltage comparator. When the voltage value of AIN0 exceeds the threshold set at the reverse input terminal, By controlling the low level output of PB0, the indicator LAMP can be cut off from the IO Link power line to achieve overcurrent protection function. This part of the circuit is shown in Figure 6.
Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is a3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS) safety system used to monitor and control production processes, and is a system that prevents catastrophic accidents from occurring. SIS is usually composed of sensors, logic solvers, and actuators, which can monitor and control various industrial production processes, including petrochemical, power, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, pulp, and paper industries. The main function of SIS is to ensure the safety and reliability of industrial processes to prevent accidents from occurring. It can determine whether there are potential hazards or accident risks by monitoring the status of equipment, process parameters, and environmental factors, and take appropriate measures in a timely manner to prevent accidents from occurring. SIS can also be integrated with other control systems such as DCS or PLC to achieve more efficient production process monitoring and management.3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS)

The MXXE series remote IO module is designed at an industrial level, suitable for industrial IoT and automation control systems. The MXXE industrial Ethernet remote I/O is equipped with two Ethernet ports for MAC layer data exchange chips, allowing data to flow down from the expandable daisy chain Ethernet remote I/O array to another local Ethernet device or up to the server.
Factory automation, security, and monitoring systems, as well as tunnel communication applications, can utilize daisy chain Ethernet to build multi-point I/O networks through standard Ethernet cables. Many industrial automation users are familiar with the most commonly used multipoint configurations in fieldbus solutions. The daisy chain function of MxxXE remote I/O not only improves the scalability and installation possibility of remote I/O applications, but also reduces the overall cost by reducing the need for individual Ethernet switches. This daisy chain equipment installation method will also reduce overall labor and wiring costs.
The difference between Ethernet remote IO module and industrial computer IO board card
The application of Ethernet remote IO module is very extensive, mainly used for distributed data collection and control, especially suitable for situations where data points are scattered and control points are scattered.
The traditional approach is to connect various instrument signals directly to the IO card through cables using an industrial computer and an IO board card. This method has high wiring costs and high signal attenuation.
The Ethernet remote IO module can directly connect the IO module to the PLC or industrial control computer, and connect the IO to the PLC or industrial control computer through an Ethernet cable. Various instrument controller signals can be directly connected to the Ethernet IO module nearby, which has several advantages:
1. It saves industrial control computers and IO boards, and Ethernet IO modules can be directly connected to the upper computer system;
2. Replacing 4-20mA signal transmission with 10/100MHz Ethernet transmission has improved transmission speed;
3. Replacing various instrument controller signal lines with an Ethernet cable reduces the attenuation of remote signal transmission;
4. The signal cable of the instrument controller only needs to be connected to the Ethernet IO module, greatly reducing cable costs and wiring workload;
5. The M160T series Ethernet remote IO module can also be directly transmitted to the Internet of Things platform through MQTT for remote monitoring.
The profinet to Modubs distributed remote IO module has now been applied in many fields, and Huajie Intelligent Control has implemented profinet remote IO modules that support Siemens 200smart, 3001200, and 1500.
Huajie Intelligent Control distributed IO supports Modubs 16D 16DO 32DI 32 DO, with flexible on-site installation, which can be installed nearby with sensors and actuators, saving wiring and PLC”s own IO points. Provides high-speed data transmission, enabling reliable communication between the controller CPU and I/O system
The advantage of using profinet distributed remote IO module in profinet is that the wiring is simple, only one network cable is needed, and each point is collected and controlled through the remote IO module. The program is controlled by Siemens 1200 or 1500, which not only reduces wiring work but also reduces wire costs
Huajie Intelligent Control has good compatibility with distributed IO and has expanded other bus based distributed IO systems, which can also help you more rationalize the management of your distributed remote devices and achieve unlimited expansion. The supporting software can assist with configuration, debugging, and diagnosis of your system. There are multiple series of models available, including HJ3204 to HJ3209, with stable performance and affordable prices, Provide maximum convenience for enterprise engineering.
Ethernet IO module assists industrial robots
Industrial robots are multi joint robotic arms or multi degree of freedom machine devices aimed at the industrial field, which can achieve many material distribution, retrieval, pallets, and so on in industrial sites. However, due to the fact that many industrial six axes are equipped with 32 IO ports as standard, the IO ports are not sufficient in practical applications. Therefore, some DIN and DO extensions can be met through IO modules.
MQTT Ethernet IO Remote Module3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
The Modbus TCP Ethernet IO module has multiple channels, such as 4-way, 8-way, and 16-way switch input and output options. The communication protocol of the Ethernet IO module adopts the standard Modbus TCP protocol, Modbus RTU over TCP protocol, and MQTT protocol. Can support LAN configuration, with 1 DC power output to other devices on site, reducing the difficulty and cost of on-site wiring.
Most of the MQTT Ethernet IO modules should collect some IO port information and transmit data through the network port. In fact, the Ethernet IO module can not only serve as a TCP server, but also as a TCP client. In addition, it can not only count high-speed pulses but also output high-3625C1 Safety Instrumented System (SIS)speed pulses. This is very convenient for doing some control processing on industrial sites, such as controlling servo motors and other scenarios! The most important thing is the data caching function. Even if the network is disconnected, it is not afraid. The data will be automatically cached, and after the network is restored, it will be automatically retransmitted.
The MxxxT industrial remote Ethernet I/O data acquisition module is embedded with a 32-bit high-performance microprocessor MCU, and integrates an industrial grade 10/100M adaptive Ethernet interface to support the standard Modbus protocol. It can easily integrate with third-party SCADA software, PLC, and HMI devices for application. Equipped with an RS485 interface, it has good scalability and can be cascaded with standard Modbus RTU I/O devices through the RS485 bus to achieve the combination of various digital, analog, and thermal resistance IO modules, saving costs. At the same time, this device has the function of cluster register mapping, and the data of the cluster is automatically collected into the mapping storage area of the local computer. The upper computer can respond quickly without waiting when querying, meeting the strict and timely functional requirements of industrial sites.
What is a remote IO module and what are its purposes
Technology is constantly evolving, and we can come into contact with various electronic devices both in daily life and in the workplace. And a large number of electronic devices work together to generate some signal sources. In order to better transmit and collect signals, industrial control products such as remote IO modules, signal transmitters, and signal acquisition modules have been developed.
In the past, people had to connect existing lines and boxes one at a time, which greatly increased the cost and construction time of cables. Moreover, if the distance was too long, they also had to face issues such as voltage attenuation. And through the remote IO module, this problem can be effectively solved.
If your cabinet is 200 meters away from the site and remote IO is not used, then you can extend each signal line by 200 meters and install the remote IO module on site, which can save you a lot of cable costs and reduce the complexity of construction.
In short, sometimes some IOs are set far away from the central control room and then connected back to the central control room through fiber optics to save on cable procurement and construction. Sometimes, the logical “remote” is because the allowed quantity of “local IO” cannot meet the actual needs, so it is necessary to connect to the “remote IO template”, which depends on the situation.
In addition, the general cabinet is placed on the equipment site. However, some control signals, such as emergency stop and bypass, are implemented in the control room, so remote IO modules need to be used to transmit these signals to the control system in the computer room.
What is an Ethernet IO module and what are its functions
The Ethernet IO module is a hardware gateway that adds IO to the network port.
The Ethernet IO module has hardware interfaces such as switches, analog signals, relays, RS485, RJ45, etc. Can be used for IO data collection network port transmission in industrial automation. Simply put, it refers to sensors with standard signals on site, or serial devices with 485 signals such as PLCs, which can be converted into real values through such gateways and then transmitted to the host for display through network ports.
