The unit as a master gateway is available in two versions—for control cabinet installation (protection class IP20) or for direct fitting on the robot flange (IP54). Both versions are designed for connecting two IO-Link components and can program the individual parameters of the components. In this process, they continuously take on the implementation of the bus protocol from digital I/O to IO-Link. During parameter configuration they also require a temporary Ethernet connection, though. Thus, despite the relatively limited capabilities that many robots have regarding the digital I/O transmission infrastructure, it is possible to use virtually all functions of the company’s IO-Link components. “guideZ” is a software tool for commissioning components quickly and easily; it enables user-guided implementation and commissioning for truly anyone. In this process, users can switch between wizard or beginner mode and expert mode. The parameter data of this seven-step commissioning process can be quickly and easily adapted to any PLC control or even small controls.
