The Aion mioty® IO-Link Adapter is directly connected to standardized IO-Link sensors and actuators. It captures process, diagnostic, and other parameters from the sensors and transmits them wirelessly via the mioty® protocol, which is specifically designed for industrial applications. This ensures maximum robustness against interference, even in industrial environments with high radio frequency congestion.

The wireless data is then received by a mioty® base station, which forwards it to industrial control systems, SCADA platforms, cloud-based analytics services, or edge computing environments. Thanks to standardized and open cloud decoding, the adapter can be easily integrated into existing OT and IT infrastructures. AION supports both local and cloud-based applications.

Long-Range Communication

AION combines the IO-Link standard with long-range communication technology, ensuring extended range and strong signal penetration.

API Integration

AION data can be seamlessly integrated into existing SCADA, ERP, and third-party systems, with no lock-in effect.

What is IO-Link?

IO-Link is a standardized communication protocol used in automation technology. It enables communication between a control system (such as a PLC) and intelligent field devices like sensors, actuators, or other peripheral devices. IO-Link provides a point-to-point connection via a serial interface and allows bidirectional communication between the devices.

Simple Wiring: IO-Link uses a standard 3-wire cable (Power, Output, and Signal), simplifying the wiring compared to other industrial standards.

Plug & Play: Devices that support IO-Link can be easily integrated into the network without additional configuration or parameter programming.

Diagnostics and Parameter Access: IO-Link enables detailed diagnostics and remote monitoring of connected devices. Parameters and configurations can be easily set and monitored through the control system or an engineering tool.

Integration of Non-Smart Devices: With IO-Link, even "dumb" devices (those without their own intelligence) can be integrated into a system by connecting them to an IO-Link master.

IO-Link is used in various areas of automation technology and industry to optimize communication between field devices and controllers.

Why we chose mioty®

mioty® – Next generation LPWAN

mioty® is an innovative wireless technology specifically developed for reliable and long-range communication in industrial environments. What makes it particularly unique is its method of packet splitting. Instead of transmitting entire messages at once, mioty® breaks them down into smaller pieces and transmits these across different frequencies. This ensures stable transmission even in the presence of interference – even if individual fragments are lost, the message can be easily reconstructed.

Long Range

mioty® can communicate over long distances, making it ideal for applications in rural areas or large industrial facilities. It can cover distances of up to 15 km in urban areas and over 100 km in rural areas, depending on the conditions and infrastructure.

Scalability

The protocol is designed for use in networks with millions of devices. It can effortlessly manage thousands to millions of IoT devices without compromising network performance. This is especially crucial in scenarios such as Smart Cities or large-scale industrial applications.

Low power consumtion

mioty® uses highly energy-efficient communication. Devices that support mioty® have a long lifespan – often lasting several years with a single battery. This is crucial for IoT devices that are often installed in hard-to-reach locations and require minimal maintenance.

Roboustness and reliability

mioty® uses telegram-based communication and employs a special modulation technique called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum), which is particularly robust against disturbances and interference. This ensures high reliability, even in challenging environments with numerous sources of interference.

Security

mioty® is designed to meet high security requirements. It offers end-to-end encryption, device authentication, and can be protected against unauthorized access. These security features are especially important when it comes to transmitting sensitive data.

Cost-Effective

Since mioty® works with simpler, cost-effective devices and sensors, it is an affordable solution for large IoT installations. It does not require expensive infrastructure components, allowing for a cost-effective implementation even with a very large number of devices.
