IO-Link 1.1.4 – New Rules, New Pitfalls
The new version introduced snippet-based testing. While this may sound unspectacular, it is currently causing headaches for many manufacturers...
The Holy Trinity of IO-Link Quality
Anyone working with IO-Link in real machines knows this situation: the system is fundamentally stable, but from time to time...
The COD: For all who want to know where it's going to hit – before it hits.
Pre-configure and test IO-Link masters – without real devices. TEConcept's COD emulates IO-Link devices, saving time and costs...Two Decades of Experience for Future-Proof IO-Link Development
For over two decades, TEConcept has been supporting companies through all phases of the product lifecycle – from the initial idea to the certified electronic assembly. Although technical requirements are constantly increasing, we deliver precise IO-Link solutions that not only function but are also future-proof.

How we support our customers:
What we offer our customers:
Under our product categories, you will find numerous IO-Link tools, IO-Link software, and IO-Link services to support your IO-Link project at every phase or in the development of complete electronic assemblies. What’s important to us: You are the experts for your product – we merely provide support on the IO-Link side. Whether prototyping or series production: We take responsibility for your product!
IO-Link Knowledge Transfer
The IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop assesses the suitability of IO-Link for your product requirements and provides a clear project roadmap.
Individualized IO-Link Workshops convey knowledge on IO-Link architecture and development, as well as IO-Link certification and the use of IO-Link tools and software.
IO-Link
Stacks
With the Device Stack and the Master Stack, we offer full access to our long-established software, which you can customize for your application.
For the development of Safety Masters, we offer a Safety Master Stack, and the Safety Device Stack is also already in development.
IO-Link
Developer Kits
You can test our Stacks in advance with the IO-Link Developer Kits and reference designs from our partners. The Developer Kits are suitable for starting the development of new IO-Link solutions or testing existing components.
Both master boards and device demo boards with integration via Ethernet, USB, or UART are available.
IO-Link
Development Tools
The 1-Port USB-C Master enables easy communication with the developed IO-Link Device.
The IODD-Studio simplifies the creation of the IODD, as parameters can be easily defined via an input mask.
With the COD, any IODDs can be emulated. This helps, for example, in prototype development and testing the compatibility of IO-Link Masters.
IO-Link Diagnostic and Test Tools
The IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop assesses the suitability of IO-Link for your product requirements and provides a clear project roadmap.
Individualized IO-Link Workshops convey knowledge on IO-Link architecture and development, as well as IO-Link certification and the use of IO-Link tools and software.
Years of Experience & Personal Support
Since IO-Link was established as a standard in industrial automation, TEConcept has been one of the leading contacts in the German-speaking region. Thanks to our deep expertise in IEC61131-9 and IO-Link mapping, we guide you through complex projects as equals. In particular, our IO-Link workshops and training sessions ensure that your team not only works with ready-made solutions but can also independently exploit their potential.
01
20+ Years of Experience in Embedded Development
For more than two decades, we have been developing customized embedded solutions that are used in industrial applications worldwide. Our deep technical understanding, coupled with practical implementation expertise, enables robust systems – from firmware to hardware.
02
We as an IO-Link Competence Center
Through our close collaboration with the IO-Link Community, we are always at the forefront of standards, technologies, and testing procedures. This ensures that our developments are both compliant and future-proof – and that your products can be reliably certified.
03
Flexible, Practical Application Consulting
Our application consulting starts exactly where you need us – not theoretically, but practically. Together, we develop solutions that integrate smoothly into your systems and offer real added value in operation.
04
Individually Developed Reference Designs
Standard solutions are not always sufficient – which is why we develop specific reference designs that are precisely tailored to your requirements. These serve as the technical basis for your series products and significantly shorten development times.
Solution-oriented. Technological. TEConcept.
Whether you are planning a new product or want to make existing systems IO-Link-capable – we provide comprehensive support. From the selection of suitable tools to the market launch of your solution: We think along, test along, develop along.
