Interface 1200 and Model 1201 Series IO-Link Universal and Compression-Only Load Cells are IO-Link compatible load cells that offer precision force measurements with the benefits of digital communication. They connect directly to an IO-Link Master without requiring any additional electronics. This not only simplifies installation but also ensures a clean, noise-free digital signal. The digital point-to-point connection of IO-Link offers a manufacturer-independent, fieldbus-independent communication technology. IO-Link allows intelligent connection of sensors and actuators to automation systems. The comprehensive, standardized communication with each IO-Link capable sensor enables additional sensor data, transmission of measurement and switching signals without losses, and numerous independent diagnostic functions.

Interface's Decoding Sensor and Instrumentation Communication Protocols provide valuable insights into the relationship between measurement technologies and communications. Watch the webinar to learn about components used in different environments to connect sensors and instrumentation to existing networks. The communication protocol used to transmit data from the load cell to the data acquisition system can affect accuracy and precision.
