IO-Link products for development and certification

In addition to supporting IO-Link projects in any product phase through support and IO-Link knowledge transfer, TEConcept offers a wide range of additional IO-Link products that enable fast and cost-effective development of high-quality electronic assemblies. These include software components such as the IO-Link Stacks, which run on the IO-Link developer kits of our partners. Developers, system integrators, and end users can also benefit from using our IO-Link developer tools and diagnostics & test tools in their day-to-day work.

Demo Kits for
Developers

Due to growing demand, TEConcept offers compact development kits in collaboration with our partners, combining both IO-Link Masters and IO-Link sensors in a preconfigured environment. This allows for practical and rapid IO-Link evaluation, which in turn reduces time to integration.

Board Sets for
OEM Projects

Beyond the customizability of each solution, you receive special IO-Link Master boards for easy integration into existing devices – ideal for the series development of electronic assemblies. Instead of investing effort into developing your own hardware, you can rely on a proven basis.

Engineering Tools for Test
and Diagnostics

With Control Tool 4.0, you can not only set parameters via the IO-Link parameterization software but also analyze real-time data – meaning you can detect errors before they cause costly problems in production. In addition, you get tools for simulating various IO-Link Device and sensor profiles.

COD - Device
Emulator

The Configurable Observable Device (COD) is the ultimate endurance testing tool for IO-Link Masters. Based on IODDs, it can emulate any IO-Link Device and is fully automatable, flexibly scalable, and ideal for testing, validation, and development. Whether used individually or in full deployment with multiple CODs running simultaneously, the COD pushes master systems to their limits – reproducibly, transparently, and always under control.

Innovation & Industry Expertise

For many years, TEConcept has worked closely with leading companies in automation technology – particularly in the field of IO-Link sensors and IO-Link Masters. This results not only in practical solutions but also in continuous innovations in electronic assemblies and IO-Link boards. Thanks to this deep market knowledge, we develop products that are both technically leading and economically sound.

TEConcept Kommunikation auf Augenhöhe

Development Partnership
at Eye Level

Whether you want to extend an existing sensor with IO-Link or start from scratch – TEConcept supports you as an equal partner. We see ourselves not merely as a supplier, but as a technical development partner who reliably assists even with complex projects. That’s why we not only provide IO-Link parameterization software, but also help with selecting the right controllers and components and clarify open questions regarding IO-Link. As a result of this collaboration, you can significantly shorten your time to market.

Secure Integration & Long-Term Support

For this reason, our service does not end with the purchase – rather, a partnership-based support begins there. If desired, we support you in the integration of IO-Link sensors into existing systems as well as their expansion via OPC UA interfaces. In addition, we offer sustainable advice on scaling your architecture – for example, if you want to integrate additional IO-Link switches or specify a new 4-wire cable. While other providers often rely only on standard solutions, we develop future-proof and scalable concepts together with you.

FAQ on TEConcept's IO-Link Products

TEConcept offers a complete portfolio for IO-Link development: starting with software stacks (IO-Link Master Stack and Device Stack), through hardware developer tools such as the 1-Port USB-C Master and the Configurable Observable Device, to certified diagnostics & test tools like the Physical Layer Tester or the Device Tester. The portfolio is complemented by developer kits in collaboration with our partners, as well as IO-Link workshops and training.
Our products are designed for IO-Link developers, system integrators, and end users. Beginners benefit from preconfigured developer kits and workshops that enable a fast start. Experienced engineers use our stacks, test systems, and engineering tools for demanding IO-Link projects and product certification.

Yes. All TEConcept products are based on the latest IO-Link specifications from the IO-Link Community and are designed for interoperability. Since TEConcept actively participates in IO-Link working groups, our solutions are always standards-compliant and future-proof – regardless of whether you work with IO-Link sensors, actuators, or Master systems from different manufacturers.

The IO-Link Stacks (Master Stack and Device Stack) are ready-made software components that you integrate directly into your own hardware – ideal for OEM projects and series development. The developer kits combine hardware and software in a preconfigured environment and are particularly suited for fast evaluation and prototyping before you invest in your own hardware.

The easiest approach is to orient yourself by your current project phase: in the idea and concept phase, the IO-Link Pathfinder Workshop is recommended. For development, stacks and developer kits are available. In the Validation Phase, you can use our compliance test systems. Our product overview is structured along this development cycle – or you can contact us directly for a free initial consultation.

Many datasheets and software versions are available in our download area. If you need older versions or specific documents, our support team is available to help.

Yes. TEConcept sees itself not just as a product provider, but as a technical development partner. In addition to standard products, we offer custom adaptations – such as specific firmware variants, OEM PCB designs, or tailor-made integration solutions. Get in touch with us: the more specific your requirements, the more precisely we can develop a suitable concept.

Of course. We see ourselves not only as a technology supplier, but as a partner who provides technical support and development assistance to help make your IO-Link project and product a success.
