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.

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
New food tipping point
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
