A key enabler of Industry 4.0 is IO-Link [1]. An IEC standardized 
bi-directional communication protocol, IO-Link brings data from the factory 
floor to the plant level for factory efficiency, sensor diagnostics, 
maintenance, and more. With IO-Link, plant managers can easily receive sensor 
health updates and plan for upcoming sensor maintenance or replacement. 
Factories can easily upgrade production lines to IO-Link as it is backwards 
compatible to existing standard Input/Output (SIO) installations and can 
utilize its existing 3-wire, unshielded cabling to minimize overhead setup.
