sensorEDGE – IO-Link master with data remote transmission

Instant-IO-Link solution for remote monitoring your sensor data

sensorEDGE is Hilscher’s solution for the fast remote monitoring of your machines. Equipped with two netIOL chips (an IO-Link master controller developed by Hilscher) and a cloud uplink, the sensor box allows the remote data monitoring and analysis of up to eight IO-Link sensors.

A power supply and an internet connection is all sensorEDGE needs. A complex setup of the PLC and the fieldbus system is not required.

As soon as sensors are plugged in and autonomously configured via the IODD (from an Internet file database), the sensor box transmits data into the cloud at 1-second intervals. The data can be visualized directly in the corresponding cloud web frontend or accessed via an API from any third-party application.

sensorEDGE is the ideal solution for retrofitting existing plants that have so far been controlled locally but never monitored remotely. The sensor box is compatible with all IO-Link sensors, that operate in accordance with protocol standard IEC 61131-9, and can thus be integrated with a minimum effort. The IP67-rated casing withstands the harshest conditions making it ideal for installations outside a switch cabinet close to your machine.

  • Remote monitoring of up to 8 IO-Link sensors
  • Cloud data transmission at minimum intervals (seconds)
  • Automatic IO-Link configuration via Internet IODD file database
  • Central device management and data visualization via cloud portal
  • Cloud-API for the streaming of real-time data into any remote application

Functions8-port IO-Link Master (Class A) Edge Device with sensorEDGE Cloud connectivity
Power supply Supply voltage+24 V DC, –25%/+30% (18 V DC … 31.2 V DC) Note: Voltages above 34 V may cause permanent damage to the device. Voltages below approx. 10 V will cause a shutdown of the device. Note: The sensorEDGE does not need or use auxiliary supply voltage (U2L), even though the pins for the 2L auxiliary load circuit are implemented on the device. The 1L and 2L load circuits are galvanically isolated from each other.
Under-voltage warning U1L < 18 V: 1L LED shows steady red U1L > 17.7 V: 1L LED returns to steady green
Over-voltage warning U1L > 30 V: 1L LED blinking red (4 Hz) U1L < 29.7 V: 1L LED returns to steady green
