  • Page 8: Brief Description

    Brief description 1.3.1 Overview sensorEDGE FIELD is an IP67-rated IO-Link Master (“sensor block”) with edge computing power. It turns IO-Link sensor data into MQTT tags and publishes them to an MQTT broker that can run either inside the device (default) or hosted on a remote system. In turn, applications can subscribe to this MQTT broker in order to receive the data.
