How can IO-Link® device microcontrollers overcome the challenges associated with adhering to the timing requirements specified in the IO-Link standard? An IO-link device microcontroller is expected to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, which can cause difficulty in responding to a request within the acceptable specified time window. This is especially true if performing a task fromwhich the microcontroller cannot be interrupted.

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably, but as factories become smarter, many current RTD sensors will not be suitable for these environments. The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth.

By Michael Jackson and Brian CondellIf you’re about to start designing a smart factory sensor, you’ll want to ensure that you can do it as quickly and efficiently as possible while maximizing the number of customers who can use it. This blog presents design ideas for smart factory sensors (temperature and pressure) that can communicate with a PLC regardless of the type of Fieldbus or industrial ethernet network used in a factory process. Temperature Sensor Transducers – What are the Options?
