Balluff: Bi-directional inductive coupler

Balluff has expanded its IO-Link enabled Inductive coupling product family to include bi-directional IO-Link communication; the inductive coupling solution enables transfer of power and data over a small air gap, making it ideally suited in the industrial space, where getting I/O in hard to reach places or to moving components is a challenge.
