Balluff IO-Link Device Tool 3.1

Balluff IO-Link Device Tool is a PC-based application from Balluff GmbH that streamlines the commissioning, configuration, and diagnostics of IO-Link devices on the shop floor and in the lab. Designed for use with Balluff IO-Link masters and compatible third-party devices via IODD files, it provides a clear, guided interface to get sensors and actuators up and running quickly, keep them optimized, and resolve issues fast.

Key capabilities:

• Automatic device identification using IODD files, with simple import and management
• Read, edit, and write device parameters with safeguards and validation
• Create, save, and restore parameter sets for fast cloning and backups
• Live diagnostics, including device status, process data monitoring, and event logs
• Topology and port views for intuitive mapping of devices on the master
• Offline configuration to prepare parameter sets without hardware connected
• Report and data export for documentation and traceability
• Optional device firmware updates where supported by the hardware

Typical uses include commissioning new installations, standardizing configurations across multiple machines, and troubleshooting devices to minimize downtime. The tool supports IO-Link–compliant devices and connects via Balluff IO-Link masters over Ethernet or USB. Feature availability may vary by device and master.
