IO-Link for the T.VIS® A-15
IO-Link is the first globally standardized IO technology (IEC 61131-9) to communicate with sensors and actuators.
IO-Link is the first globally standardized IO technology (IEC 61131-9) to communicate with sensors and actuators.
The powerful point-to-point communication is based on the long-known 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without any additional requirements for the cable material. Therefore, IO-Link is not a fieldbus, but the evolutionary advancement of the existing and proven connection technology for sensors, actuators and thus also for control tops of the latest generation.
Sensors and actuators can communicate
- Process data will be digitally exchanged with high signal quality.
- Components can be centrally parameterized.
- Diagnostic information can be transferred from the valve to the controller.
End to complex wiring
- Standardized and considerable simplified installation.
- IO-Link is fieldbus-independent and can be integrated into all fieldbuses worldwide.

Reality check for biotech
The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
