[EN] Proportional Valves with IO-Link Interface from Bosch Rexroth

Connecting hydraulic systems via IO-Link
IO-Link allows end-to-end communication with sensors and actuators, irrespective of the field bus used.
The proportional valves used in hydraulic systems now fit into bidirectional digital communication – intelligently, simply and cost-effectively. This simplifies commissioning in hardware and software and allows flexible adjustment of hydraulic valves for varying production processes.
Increased requirements for flexible machinery and systems are now complied with.
The expanded diagnostic information allows status-oriented and predictive maintenance concepts and significantly reduces downtimes and maintenance times. This helps to increase the availability of machines.
IO-Link also integrates the hydraulic valves used into connected structures in a future-proof manner – as fully-fledged Industry 4.0 components.
