Easily connect compactRIO and IO-Link

When developing our LabVIEW library for IO-Link, we actually had PC-based applications in mind, as the original interface solution was created as part of a complete solution for testing IO-Link devices. But when we were asked if we could also offer an IO-Link interface for compactRIO on this basis, we immediately said ‘yes’, because the AL1320 IO-Link master by ifm that we use provides a simple connection to the Ethernet port of the cRIO with its IoT interface. After that, all that was left to do was to install the library on the controller, and cRIO is now communicating with one (or more) IO-Link sensors.
