IO-Link Master Module

Unsere IO-Link Master Module bieten eine effiziente Lösung, um IO-Link-Geräte ohne den Umweg über eine klassische SPS direkt in Ihre Systeme einzubinden. Die kompakten Module sind speziell dafür entwickelt, als fertige PCB-Einheit direkt auf bestehende Kundenplatinen aufgesteckt zu werden. Dies reduziert nicht nur den Entwicklungsaufwand und die damit verbundenen Kosten erheblich, sondern verkürzt auch die Zeit bis zur Markteinführung (Time-to-Market) entscheidend.

TEConcept 1-port master module

1-Port Master Module

On a minimal footprint of just 43 mm x 33 mm, this module offers an integrated transceiver as well as a full-featured V1.1.4 Master Stack. Communication with your hardware is straightforward via simple telegrams using SPI or UART interfaces. An integrated USB port for the TEConcept Control Tool is also available for easy offline configuration.

4-Port Master

4-Port Master Module

For more comprehensive requirements, this module provides four fully tested, IO-Link-compliant ports on 59 mm x 39 mm. It enables direct access to process data and diagnostic information from up to four devices simultaneously. Optionally, we offer custom adaptations of the application software for this module to implement cost-effective stand-alone systems in the form of a mini-PLC.
