With IO-Link V1.1.5, TEConcept has updated its entire product range – Master and Device Stacks support the new specification across more than 80 microcontroller variants.
The TEConcept IO-Link Aggregator Device combines four IO-Link master ports with configurable real-time signal processing, bringing edge intelligence to where it has the greatest impact: directly into the machine.
IO-Link Debugging in Practice: Measure signal waveforms with the IO-Link Signal Exposer and analyze communication with the IO-Link Spy – reproducibly and without improvisation.
The decision has been made: the new sensor or actuator product is to become IO-Link capable. This often happens due to market adjustments or direct customer requirements. However, anyone faced with the task of integrating IO-Link into an existing or new system architecture for the first time quickly encounters a series of fundamental questions.
Anyone working with IO-Link in real-world machines knows this situation: The system is generally stable, but from time to time, a diagnostic message appears. Communication interrupted. Timeout. Device unresponsive.
Everything at a glance: The new TEConcept Product Booklet
The new booklet provides a structured overview of our current portfolio for IO-Link development, testing, diagnostics, and certification.
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.
The new version introduced snippet-based testing. While this may sound unspectacular, it is currently causing many manufacturers a headache.
