high-frequency radio signal. An ID tag
consists of an antenna, an analogue circuit
for receiving and transmitting (transceiver),
a digital circuit and a non-volatile memory.

(IEC 61131-9) for communicating with
sensors and actuators. Point-to-point
communication is based on 3-wire sensor
and actuator connection. IO-Link is not a

previous connection technology.
