COMTROL HELPS ENABLE INDUSTRY 4.0 AND IIOT
Industry 4.0 is simply put the fourth industrial revolution. The rst industrial revolution was the process of using
water and steam power, the second introduced electric power which was followed by the digital revolution. The goal
of Industry 4.0 is to fully integrate the communication process used in manufacturing to improve the eciency of
factories through: The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), industrial automation, data exchange and manufacturing
technologies.
Benets of Industry 4.0 and IIoT:
• Complete integration into overall industrial communication systems
• Easy sensor replacement
• Eliminates manual parameter settings
• Continuous data monitoring and status diagnostics
• Increased uptime
Comtrol Corporation has created an IO-Link Master series to
help enable Industry 4.0. Comtrol consistently pursues
advancing their IO-Link Master series as the fourth industrial
revolution progresses.
Many of the benets of Industry 4.0 and IIoT overlap the
benets of IO-Link. Comtrol currently has three IO-Link
Masters with the option to choose between three separate
protocols: EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFINET IO.
Comtrol’s IO-Link Master products simply put are the
“enablers of Industy 4.0 and IIoT”. Combining the
IO-Link Master to the sensors and actuators at the eld
level ensure point to point communication all the way
to the top levels of the data pyramid of the Enterprise
