IO-Link Diagnosis Tool

The Diagnosis Tool is an IO-Link analyzer that electrically and logically examines the IO-Link signal. It is an indispensable tool for engineers and users of IO-Link technology to identify any type of problem in the IO-Link connection.

IO-Link Diagnose Tool

Function Description

The Diagnosis Tool is based on a high-speed multi-channel A/D converter that measures voltages and currents on both the C/Q and L+ lines. The captured data is transmitted via USB to the included Diagnosis Tool PC application and evaluated. The PC software runs on Windows 7 and newer.

IO-Link communication can be analyzed at the byte level, M-sequence level, protocol level, and even application level. In the latter case, the IO-Link communication is visible in plain text. Filter and search functions simplify error identification.

This enables visual monitoring in waveforms and eye diagrams for master and device signals.

Typically, the IO-Link Diagnosis Tool is inserted between the master and the device. However, an integrated master allows devices to be checked without an external master. All communication is stored directly on a PC.
