Set up IO-Link networks easily – with the Balluff Engineering Tool (BET)
Building complex IO-Link networks efficiently and operating them reliably is becoming increasingly challenging for machine and plant manufacturers as well as operators: many devices, different manufacturers, increasing documentation requirements, and high cost pressure.
This is exactly where the Balluff Engineering Tool (BET) comes in. The free, intuitive software enables fast and efficient configuration and management of IO-Link devices – without programming effort and across manufacturers.
BET supports you from the initial design to ongoing operation: Plan IO-Link topologies offline during the development phase, transfer the configuration to the system, and significantly speed up commissioning. With automatic device search, you can find all IO-Link devices in the network with just one access point, parameterize them centrally, and reliably save the settings.
Firmware updates can be rolled out quickly, device logins can be synchronized system-wide – and in the event of service, backup and restore functions bring the system back to the desired state in no time.
Another plus point: BET increases process reliability. Test and diagnostic functions (including port/pin states, module and device status) make errors visible at an early stage and help to avoid downtime. At the same time, the software facilitates the documentation of the delivery status and the archiving of parameter states – for greater transparency throughout the entire life cycle of your system.
