The dual-channel principle is providing increased productivity with enhanced efficiency of machinery and systems. Now, it is possible to obtain much more detailed information about the status of a machine as well as having instantly available condition information – not only directly on-site, but also remotely and in digital form too.

As a founding member and technology developer of IO-Link, Leuze explains in this White Paper how the dual channel principle permits the information to be accessed and goes on to show real world, practical examples of Industry 4.0 with optical sensors and bar code readers.
