The COD: For all who want to know where it’s going to hit – before it hits.

IO-Link Device Emulation: Emulate, Scale, Stress

Simplifying pre-configuration and testing through IO-Link device emulation

In today’s industry, efficiency and flexibility are key success factors. Small machine builders in particular face the challenge of configuring their IO-Link masters in their systems while waiting for the actual IO-Link devices to arrive.

TEConcept’s Configurable Observable Device (COD) offers an innovative solution: the ability to fully emulate IO-Link devices without having the physical hardware in stock. This method reduces costs, speeds up processes, and ensures smooth commissioning for the customer.

TEConcept IO-Link COD Device Advantages

If you want to show your customers a quick prototype of your new products, first check whether the process data mapping in the controller is correct. Even with the right device, you will not be able to display real process data if the system is not yet in operation. However, with the COD, you can achieve results quickly and do all of this. Quickly answer these questions for yourself and the customer: Does everything fit? Is everything as the customer imagined? Can I improve anything?
You gain a direct competitive advantage because your competitors cannot focus on customer needs as effectively as you can.

TEConcept IO-Link COD Emulate Scale GUI
The COD is operated via included, user-friendly software (GUI). After establishing the USB connection to the PC, any IODD can be loaded, allowing the device settings to be flexibly adjusted. Via the GUI, the COD can receive ISDU parameters and events, which a connected IO-Link master can then read out. Process data can also be replicated and emulated via the COD. This allows you to test your planned IO-Link device against realistic data even before the actual hardware development.
