COD - Emulate. Scale. Stress.

In today's industry, efficiency and flexibility are key success factors. Small machine manufacturers in particular are faced with the challenge of configuring their IO-Link Masters in their systems while waiting for the actual IO-Link devices to arrive.

The Configurable Observable Device (COD) from TEConcept offers an innovative solution: the ability to fully emulate IO-Link Devices without having the devices physically in stock. This method reduces costs, speeds up processes and ensures smooth commissioning for the customer.

The Configurable Observable Device (COD) is the ultimate endurance testing tool for IO-Link masters. Based on IODDs, it can simulate any IO-Link device and is fully automatable, flexibly scalable, and ideal for testing, validation, and development. Whether used for a single test or for full expansion with several CODs running simultaneously, the COD pushes master systems to their limits — reproducibly, transparently, and under control at all times.

If you want to show your customers a quick prototype of your new products, first check that the process data mapping in the controller is correct. Even with the right device, you won't be able to display real process data. With the COD, however, you can quickly achieve a result and do all this. Ask yourself: Does everything fit? Is everything as the customer imagined? Can I improve anything? You will gain a direct competitive advantage because your competitors cannot focus on customer needs the way you can.
