GD Series

Automatically searches, downloads, and assigns IODD files from over 100 manufacturers.

*Note: Easy automatic connection requires an internet-connected PC and powered devices.

You can do it even without actual devices.

If you download the IODD files in advance to a specified folder on your PC, you can connect without any issues.

*1. “Patent pending” and “Patented” refer to patent status in Japan (as of January 2026).
*2. Estimated time under OMRON-specified conditions. Actual time may vary depending on the number of connected devices and internet environment.
*3. This service is provided by the IO-Link Community.

Replace hours of manual reading and debugging with simple copy-and-paste.
You can easily see which IO-Link device’s process data is assigned to each address.

Previously, ON/OFF signals and analog signals were transmitted using separate wiring and I/O units. Now, they can be consolidated into a single communication master unit. This simplified wiring reduces both design and wiring time.

Digital data transmission eliminates A/D and D/A conversion errors, removing the need for noise countermeasures and scaling. Data can be easily collected.

Previously, you had to remember the menu hierarchy and button layout for each sensor, but now you can operate all sensors with the same interface, regardless of sensor type or manufacturer.

The configured data can be output as a report. This makes it easy to compare and verify detection parameters and manage evidence at shipment, which previously required handwritten notes or Excel input.

Measurement values can be displayed as a time trend graph, allowing you to set thresholds while viewing the graph.

*1. These will be supported in a future version upgrade.

Previously, it took a lot of time to recover from sensor failures.

You can compare the initial startup settings saved in the support software with the current sensor settings.
Any differences from normal conditions are immediately highlighted. If an unintended setting change is detected, it can be restored with a single click.

With the GD series, you can instantly identify errors or faulty sensors. You can immediately start recovery work, greatly reducing downtime.

By managing not only ON/OFF signals but also numerical data such as sensor incident level with the support software, you can detect sensor contamination and build a predictive maintenance system.

*1. “Patent pending” and “Patented” refer to patent status in Japan (as of January 2026).

Achieves approximately half the size (W110×D31.4×H63mm) of a typical 8-channel IO-Link master.
Furthermore, with double the number of channels (16ch), it contributes to space saving inside equipment.

*1. Compared to the size of a typical 8-channel IO-Link master (according to OMRON investigation in January 2026).

*2. These will be supported in a future version upgrade.

The type of I/O connection can be set for each port, allowing effective use of unused ports.

When a command is sent from the support software, the indicator light on the connected device blinks, making it easy to identify which device is connected at a glance.

Key lock can be enabled via IO-Link command, making it impossible to release by button operation.

The sensor outputs alarms for parameter changes and unintended setting modifications, enabling immediate detection of abnormalities.
