3.3 Selecting a connection
The TigoEngine device offers several types of connections:
- Exclusive owner: The Scanner can read input process data and write output process data.
- Input only: The Scanner can read input process data only.
- Listen only: The Scanner can read input process data only. This connection requires that another
Scanner has established an Exclusive Owner or an Input Only connection with the TigoEngine
device.
The max. number of usable sensors/actors depends on the number of IO- Link bytes the used sensor/actor
requires to transfer. In case, one or more sensors/actors require to transfer 17 or more IO-Link bytes, then
max. 8 sensors/actors (and one track) can be used. In case all sensors/actors require 16 IO-Link bytes or
less, then up to 16 sensors/actors (and two tracks) can be used.
Table 9 - Connections
Connection
Name
Description
Connection 1
Exclusive Owner - 32 bytes
per IO-Link Port with Config
Up to 8 sensors/actors with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one track can be
used. The EtherNet/ IP Scanner sends the port parameters to the TigoEngine
device.
Connection 2
Exclusive Owner - 32 bytes
per IO-Link Port without
Config
Up to 8 sensors/actors with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one track can be
used. The port parameters have to be set using the webserver.
Connection 3
Listen Only - 32 bytes per
IO-Link
Up to 8 sensors/actors with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one track can be
used.
Connection 4
Input Only - 32 bytes per
IO-Link
Up to 8 sensors/actors with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one track can be
used.
Connection 5
Exclusive Owner - 16 bytes
per IO-Link Port without
Config
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two tracks can be
used. The port parameters have to be set using the webserver.
Connection 6
Listen Only - 16 bytes per
IO-Link
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two tracks can be
used.
Connection 7
Input Only - 16 bytes per
IO-Link
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two tracks can be
used.
Connection 8
Exclusive Owner - 4 bytes
per IO-Link Port without
Config
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two tracks can be
used. The port parameters have to be set using the webserver.
Connection 9
Listen Only - 4 bytes per
IO-Link
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two tracks can
be used.
Connection 10
Input Only - 4 bytes per IO-
Link
Up to 16 sensors/actors with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two tracks can
be used.
