Connect IO-Link to a PC via USB

The AL1060 interface is a 1-port IO-Link master that acts as a gateway, establishing a connection between the IO-Link communication and a PC (via USB interface). This allows users to conveniently configure sensors with IO-Link capability on a PC with the corresponding software prior to installation in the plant. This considerably reduces the set-up time and minimises setting faults. For most sensors, no separate power supply is required. This makes it particularly easy to connect sensors installed in the plant to a laptop, e.g. to read out process values or adjust sensor parameters on site.
