IO-Link Spy makes communication visible
Last-minute Christmas gift for service
Shortly before the end of the year, many service and commissioning teams face the same question:
Which tool really makes day-to-day work easier—and yet is often missing from the case?
The IO-Link Spy from TEConcept was developed for exactly this purpose. It makes IO-Link communication visible without interfering with ongoing operation—making it the modern equivalent of the classic test lamp for industrial communication.
Check communication without disruption
The IO-Link Spy is simply clipped onto the IO-Link cable. The signal is captured via capacitive coupling, processed, and transmitted to PC software. The existing communication remains completely unaffected.
Especially in service cases, this is a decisive advantage:
Faults that occur only sporadically or become visible only under real operating conditions can be analyzed without causing machine downtime.
For service, commissioning, and troubleshooting
The recorded IO-Link communication can be evaluated at various levels:
-
Byte and frame level
-
M-sequences
-
Protocol and application level
Filter, search, and analysis functions make it easier to quickly narrow down anomalies. This makes the IO-Link Spy suitable both for service technicians in the field and for commissioning and development teams.
A tool that should not be missing from any service case
Like the classic test lamp in electrical engineering, the IO-Link Spy is not a tool for every task—but it is one that makes the difference at the crucial moment. That is precisely why it belongs in every service case used to support IO-Link systems.
As a last-minute Christmas gift, the IO-Link Spy is therefore not only practical, but above all sensible: a tool that makes problems visible before they become critical.
