“NEC Electronics’ is proud to be a key part of Siemens first IO-Link project. Our single chip IO-Link solution integrates both the MCU and the analogue transceiver circuit needed for IO-Link communication. As a result Siemens was able to develop the SIMATIC PX130C to enable any standard sensor to connect to IO-Link in a simple and efficient way. This in turn allows users to get the maximum functionality out of the many standard sensors already available. We are very proud to be an enabler for that kind of innovation in automation,” said Haroon Rashid, General Manager, Industrial Business Group, NEC Electronics Europe.
The IO-Link standard is becoming more and more entrenched as leading players like Siemens continue to develop new products based on the popular standard. NEC Electronics stands firmly behind its commitment to continue to supply innovative automation products for IO-Link and other factory automation standards.
