Displays from the touchMATRIX® series can be equipped with different options. The new IO option offers touchMATRIX® displays the connection to the IO-Link world.

With regard to Industry 4.0, the process indicator with IO-Link device enables e.g. the digitization of conventional analogue sensors. This results in a variety of innovative features for standard sensors such as the transmission of status information, the configuration of the devices during operation or the digital evaluation and scaling of analog sensors. This saves retooling and commissioning costs. Thanks to extensive monitoring, weak points can be detected and repaired even before a machine downtime occurs.
