7. Connection Types
This section describes all process data for the TigoMaster 2TH IO-Link Wireless Master EtherNet/IP
adapter for connections 1-10 which can be categorized as the following connection types:
•
Exclusive Owner:
The scanner can read input process data and write output process data
•
Input Only:
The scanner can read input process data only
•
Listen Only:
The scanner can read input process data only
Note:
The
“Listen Only” connection type requires that another scanner establishes an “Exclusive
Owner” or “Input Only” connection type with the TigoMaster 2TH device.
The allowed number of usable sensors/actuators depends on the number of IO- Link bytes which the used
sensor/actuator must transfer: In case one or more sensors/actuators must transfer 17 or more IO-Link
bytes, then a maximum number of 8 sensors/actuators (and one track) can be used. If all sensors/actuators
require 16 IO-Link bytes or less, then up to 16 sensors/actuators (and two tracks) can be used.
Connection No.
Name
Description
Connection 1
Exclusive Owner
–
8 ports x 32 bytes
Up to 8 sensors/actuators with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one
track can be used. The EtherNet/ IP scanner sends the port
parameters to the TigoEngine software tool.
Connection 2
Exclusive Owner
–

w/o Config
Up to 8 sensors/actuators with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one
track can be used. The port parameters must be set using the
Integrated Web Server.
Connection 3

ports x 32 bytes
Up to 8 sensors/actuators with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and
one track can be used.
Connection 5
Exclusive Owner
–
16 ports x 16
bytes
w/o Config
Up to 16 sensors/actuators with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two
tracks can be used. The port parameters must be set using the
Integrated Web Server.
Connection 6
Listen Only - 16
ports x 16 bytes
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two
tracks can be used.
Connection 7
Input Only - 16
ports x 16 bytes
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two
tracks can be used.
Connection 8
Exclusive Owner
- 16 ports x 4
bytes
w/o Config
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two
tracks can be used. The port parameters must be set using the
Integrated Web Server.a
Connection 9
Listen Only - 16
ports x 4 bytes
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two
tracks can be used.
Connection 10
