Every manufacturer of an IO-Link compliant device needs to issue a manufacturer declaration of compliance. This requires that numerous tests that are defined in the IO-Link test specification need to be executed. This device tester simplifies the execution of many of these tests in particular protocol compliance tests. The TEConcept Device tester is powered by an external 24V power supply, it is controlled via an USB port and it offers a standard M12 connector to connect the devices under test "DUT". A PC-software tool asks for the IODD of the DUT and automatically adjusts most of its test procedures parameters according to the capabilities of the DUT. The test cases are defined by an XML-files that are accessible by the user. Additional tests like checking the validity ranges of device specific parameters can easily be added by the user by adding test procedures in xml. The Device Tester offers: Graphical User Interface Test Report generation in PDF format Selectable Test Case execution Step-By-Step test report Hex-Trace of IO-Link communication Log- and Trace File export Additional Control Feature (USB-Master) Session store/restore (project file) Firmware update feature
