I received this Turck IO-Link starter Kit yesterday and turned it on and it started working. I wanted to show the basics of the IO-Link hardware and Turck HMI; without the HMI hardware. I have the TBEN-S2-4IOL IO-Link master with the TBIL-S4-DXP IO-Link hub. Nice compact little "on Machine" hardware.
Everything is IP67. Then TBEN-S-4IOL is a compact multiprotocol (Modbus TCP, ProfiNet, Ethernet/IP) Ethernet IO module. It has 4 IO-Link master ports. The TBIL-S4-DXP "block IO" has 4 ports (8 configurable digital signals).
This isn't a "how-to guide" but I hope it inspires people to test out the Turck HMI in applications that need an operator display to monitor a few "points" of IO.
There are other great features to show later...like the operation with the IO-Link sensors and how everything has a web interface for configuration, configuration, and monitoring.
Thanks to Jose Sanchez who wrote the basic HMI software. Turck TX Visu Pro is free to download and begin creating. There is a cost for the PC runtime or the hardware...minimal cost. :)
