Memory plug uses IO-Link

With the inception of IO-Link, the latest technology for communication at sensor level, which is rapidly becoming widespread, there are new possibilities for OEMs and end users alike. The handy Memory Plug from ifm electronic uses IO-Link to store and transfer parameter settings to and from IO-Link sensors. For OEMs it is no longer necessary to set each individual unit if the parameters are the same each time - the Memory Plug will store the settings and upload them to each new device automatically.

End users will also find this useful where sensors may need to be changed due to damage: a back up of the parameters is ready and waiting, saving time and avoiding errors. Writeprotection is available to prevent the loss of saved settings.
