IO-Link Master Tester
The IO-Link Master Tester consists of a PC program and a hardware box. The test system allows complex IO-Link Master tests according to the IO-Link test specifications. Correct IO-Link behaviour as well as possible erroneous functions can be tested.
The IO-Link Consortium asks for all IO-Link Masters a manufacturer’s declaration for IO-Link conformity. MESCO developed a test system for this purpose, based on the IO-Link Consortium test specifications. As the first field bus type it supports PROFIBUS DP and may be customized to further field bus interfaces. The IO-Link Master Tester comes with a complete set of specified test cases. Moreover it can be easily extended with additional test cases.
The test system can be used during the development phase for manufacturer’s self declaration of conformity as well as in the production process.
