2.6 Easy integration with IO-Link
The Rosemount 1408H provides both conventional 4-20 mA and digital switch outputs,
enabled by IO-Link connectivity. This supports easy integration into any automation
system.
Each IO-Link system consists of an IO-Link master and one or more IO-Link devices (sensors
and actuators). The connection between the master and the device is established via
unshielded standard cables using standard connectors such as M12. Process data, events
and parameters are transferred to the master via IO-Link. The IO-Link master then
transfers the data to the controller (PLC) and its fieldbus or industrial ethernet network.
