It provides a means to configure any IO-Link sensor with a wireless device that, in essence, replaces the need to program via a USB IO-Link Master connected to a PC or via a network connected master device. The only thing required is the IO-Link Smart Configurator.

This device is portable and could be used anywhere such as on the plant floor or in the office. The device is battery powered and equipped with WiFi for IODD files download. Hence there’s no need for power or a laptop. It is truly a user friendly, wireless solution.

If you’re not familiar with IO-Link and what it is, the IO-Link organizers have produced a very nice video and brochure, which you can find here: IO-Link Videoand IO-Link Brochure

'On the surface of the tile, there are a lot of very flat coils; and that's where the name XPlanar comes from. By generating electromagnetic fields, the coils float and propel the mover above the surface. And then, by varying these electromagnetic fields, we’re able create free 2D motion, which allows for six degrees of freedom, enabling the mover to travel in any direction we want.” — Jeff Johnson, Beckhoff Automation
