Configure IO-Link devices quickly and easily

Balluff GmbH

With the new Balluff engineering tool, software is available for cross-manufacturer commissioning and configuration of IO-Link devices according to the IO-Link standard for sensors and actuators. The software provides an overview of the status of all IO-Link devices in the network and automatically sends notifications in the event of errors. The user can easily document the current status of the network and - without a programmable controller (PLC) - test inputs and outputs.

In addition, device settings and IO-Link parameters can be saved and reused with the Balluff engineering tool. This simplifies commissioning and helps diagnose errors.

The software tool can be installed on a PC or laptop. A license is required for every device on which the BET is to be used in full. Without this licensing, the software can be used with limited functions.
