IO-Link and JSON

A new specification for easy data exchange has been published on the Io-Link community. With this specification, data can be modified via Io-Link via JSON REST and MKTT. This conversion is fully compliant with Industry 4.0 communication protocols. Industrial Internet of Things (IIot) and Industry are very important for future communication and data exchange between industrial machines. These protocols work on even the smallest machines such as sensors and actuators of the new generation that are directly or indirectly connected to the working machine in the industrial process. For seamless data transport into the world of IT, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has established itself as a highly streamlined exchange format that can be used across all system boundaries.
