IO Link Configurator

Software downloadable from Weidmüller makes it easy to integrate, parametrize or configure u-remote IO link module in IP 20 and connected IO-Link devices.

The software features an intuitively operable user interface, and configuration is performed independently of the network. The engineering tool used, and the type of field bus implemented, also play a role. Upload of the IO-Link configuration files is performed directly by the field bus coupler on to the IO-Link Master and in turn, from there on to IO-Link devices. The configuration tool makes it possible to archive, distribute and modify project files locally. The configuration software provides an interface to the cross-manufacturer central IO-Link database and the “IODDfinder”. In such a way, users discover a convenient overview of available IO-Link devices and their description files, the IODDs. The joint data source for IODDs provides high quality and consistency beyond that. The u-remote IO-Link configurator is available as a free download on the company’s homepage. For all series machines which use a recurring IO-Link configuration, the single project engineering configuration file can be stored locally and be redistributed from there to other plants. This can be accessed and adapted later where necessary.
