ELECTRONIC INTERFACE MODULE FOR CONNECTING A SENSOR TO AN IO-LINK SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an electronic interface module (1) for connecting a sensor (4) with a standard interface to an IO-Link system, with at least one first interface (2) for the data-transmitting coupling of the sensor (4) and for receiving sensor data from the Sensors (4); with an electronic conversion device (5) for converting sensor data into IO-Link communication-compatible data; With at least one second interface (3) for the data-transmitting coupling of the IO-Link system and for sending sensor data converted by the conversion device (5), the first interface (2) as a digital, clocked interface for receiving sensor data which is in accordance with a predetermined first protocol are encoded, is executed and the conversion device (5) is set up to re-encode the received sensor data to establish IO-Link communication compatibility. The invention is characterized in that the first interface (2) is designed as a SENT interface or the first interface (2) is designed as a universal interface which can be used both as a SENT interface and as an IC interface and / or IC interface
