9 Port Configuration Tool
9 Port Configuration Tool
The TMG IO-Link Device Tool > V5 is a PC engineering software for
configuring IO-Link devices via the Belden IO-Link Master. The engineering
software communicates via UDP over the Ethernet interface of the IO-Link
master. Therefore no additional hardware neither a running real time protocol
is needed.
The tool can be used both as a standalone program or can be integrated via
TCI (Tool Calling Interface) in PLC programming software such as STEP 7
or TIA Portal.
The key technological element for the operation of the connected devices is
the mandatory IODD (IO Device Description) file.
The IODD is accepted worldwide. The Belden IO-Link Device Tool supports
IO-Link V1.0 (IODDs V1.0.1) and IO-Link V1.1 (IODDs V1.1).
Main functions:
D
IO-Link Device project management
D
Port configuration of IO-Link masters (without connected real-time
controller)
D
