IO-Link Master Tester – Reliably Test and Certify Master Protocol
The Master Tester communicates via SMI services with the SMI Test Communication Server “STCS” to be provided by the Master manufacturer, which maps SMI services to a specific Master.
In IO-Link V1.1.3, a standardized master interface (SMI) was introduced, which specifies methods for communicating with an IO-Link Master in an abstract manner.
The IO-Link Test Specification for the Master Test has been extensively revised.
The Master Tester has been completely redesigned. It is based on a Master Tester Application “MTA” that runs on Windows 7 and newer, and a Master Tester Unit “MTU”, as specified in the IO-Link Test Specification.
A prerequisite for creating a manufacturer’s declaration of conformance by the manufacturer of an IO-Link Master is the successful completion of the conformance tests specified in the current IO-Link Test Specification.

Additional test systems for your IO-Link Master project
In addition to the protocol test, the Physical Layer test and the EMC test are also required for full IO-Link certification (Test & Quality IO Link Community). To achieve this goal with minimal effort, TEConcept offers additional diagnostic & test tools that can be used directly by members of the IO-Link Community to issue the required certifications. For non-members, TEConcept, as an accredited IO-Link Competence and Test Center, handles the execution of the certification tests.
IO-Link Safety Master Tester
Test system for manufacturers of IO-Link Safety Masters — a mandatory prerequisite for the safety assessment by notified bodies such as TÜV. Automatically transmits IFAK-approved test vectors and generates a PDF test report.
IO-Link EMC Test Device
Standard-compliant test device for EMC compliance testing of IO-Link masters according to IO-Link Interface Specification Annex H.2.2. Counts parity, checksum, and timeout errors separately, supports all three COM rates, and enables round-trip delay measurements.
