technologies. Furthermore, WAGO IO-Link Configurator can run on any other tools that
are connected via TCI.
The two main functions of TCI are the following:
Invocation Interface
The invocation interface serves to launch WAGO IO-Link Configurator from the engineer-
ing system and provide it with the information necessary for operation of the connected
field products.
Communication Server
WAGO IO-Link Configurator has various options for communication with the supported
IO-Link masters and the IO-Link devices connected to them. The most convenient situa-
tion is when the engineering system provides a communication channel and WAGO IO-
Link Configurator does not need to worry about the communication channel. This commu-
nication channel is called a communication server. STEP 7 supports PROFIBUS and
PROFINET. PROFIBUS requires so-called dataset routing. Not all products support this.
Therefore, WAGO IO-Link Configurator also supports its own communication options, in-
dependent of the communication server.
5.5.2.6 TCI Conformance Classes
WAGO IO-Link Configurator supports all TCI conformance classes according to the oper-
ating mode and communication system. As a general rule, TCI conformance class3 is
used for PROFIBUS and TCI conformance class2 for PROFINET.
TCI Conformance Class1
Calling only via the invocation interface; no communication with the field product
TCI Conformance Class2
Calling via the invocation interface and communication via its own communication
channels
TCI Conformance Class3
Calling via the invocation interface and communication via the communication server
5.5.2.7 Integration of IO-Link Masters and IO-Link Devices
IO-Link masters are integrated into WAGO IO-Link Configurator by including an IOLM
(IO-Link Master) device description file. The IO-Link devices are fully integrated into the
configurator via the IODDs (IO Device Descriptions)
5.5.3 WAGO Webserver I/O Field
The WAGO I/O Field module has an integrated Webserver. It can be accessed with a
standard Web browser in order to use the following functions:
Display port information for ports X01, X02 etc.
Display and modify product settings
User setup and management, as well as user login and logout
Reset product to factory settings and restart firmware
Simulating inputs; forcing outputs
Examples of port information include:
Display current measured values for the ports: temperature, voltage, current and state
on pins 1, 2 and 4
