Why don't we improve productivity with IO-Link Wireless?

If you have this problem

• Problem 01

  I want to make the wiring of cylinder switches and photoelectric switches wireless!

• Problem 02

  I want to make the signal line of the pneumatic valve wireless!

How to solve the issues

The WD Series radiates the wiring of the cylinder switch and photoelectric switch to suppress the risk of disconnection.

The WD Series is an input unit compatible with IO-Link Wireless wireless communication. Business card size makes it easy to install in moving parts and wirelessly wires for cylinder and photoelectric switches that have risk of disconnection. By reducing the number of wires in the wiring carrier and the reduced wiring of the robot arm, the wireless control of control components that have been abandoned will be realized.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is IO-Link Wireless?

     
  IO-Link Wireless is a wireless system developed by Israeli company CoreTigo. Input signals can be wirelessly transmitted through the IO-Link Wireless master. ✶CKD's IO-Link Wireless-compatible component products can be used only in Japan, EU, and USA.

• Is there no interruption or delay in wireless communication?

     
  IO-Link Wireless communication is a wireless system that is comparable to wired communication, with a communication error rate of 1/1 billionth and a communication delay time of 5 ms.

• What are the benefits of using IO-Link Wireless?

     
  By using IO-Link Wireless wireless communication, it is possible to improve wiring layout, reduce wiring costs, and reduce the risk of disconnection.

• What is the system configuration?

     
  The IO-Link Wireless master is wired to the PLC so that the IO-Link Wireless master can be wirelessly connected to the CKD IO-Link Wireless Compatible Components. The communication distance of CKD's IO-Link Wireless wireless communication components from the master is a max. of 20 m. IO-Link Wireless master can also be purchased from CKD. ✶The power supply wiring to the IO-Link Wireless Compatible Components will be necessary.

Introduction of improvement examples

Making Cylinder Switches for Robot Hands Wireless

The WD Series is used to wirelessly switch the operation confirmation of the robot arm hand that handles many workpieces. Since power is supplied from the wiring in the robot unit to the IO-Link Wireless input unit, external wiring is eliminated and the risk of disconnection is reduced.

Reduced wiring in the cable carrier

The WD Series enables the wiring of switches installed on movable parts to be wirelessly connected with the IO-Link Wireless input unit as a relay. The number of wires in the cable carrier can be reduced, and maintenance work-hours can also be reduced since wiring replacement is not required.

Assembly/inspection (rotating table) (1)

When using the WD Series, the signal line is wireless, making it possible to install a photoelectric sensor on the rotating table. Contributes to improved workpiece positioning accuracy.

Assembly/inspection (rotating table) (2)

When using the TVG Series, the signal line is wireless, so it is possible to install a solenoid valve manifold on the rotating table. Enables equipment design that can improve workpiece positioning accuracy and support various types of workpieces.
