Standalone Mode

• TigoBridge is designed to work seamlessly with IO-Link Devices. It also has the capability to operate in Standalone mode.
• In Standalone mode, TigoBridge can be configured and diagnosis data can be read, but process data will not be available. The ISDU mechanism behaves identically to a W-Device, allowing the TigoBridge to have device-specific ISDU parameters. This feature provides flexibility and convenience for the user in certain scenarios where a connected IO-Link Device is not necessary or available.

Electrical Wiring
TigoBridge A2 has two M12 connectors.

• IO-Link Connector : 5 pins, A-Coded female connector.
• Maximum Current supply to IO-Link device is 1A when using 24VDC
• Power Connector : 5 pins, A-Coded male connector
• Higher voltage than 32VDC is restricted, as it can damage the TigoBridge A2.

Electrical Connection

• Warning : TigoBridge A2 does not have reverse polarity power connection protection.

Mounting

• TigoBridge A2 should be mounted safely and securely next to the device to which it is connected. TigoBridge A2 can be mounted with screws…

Configuration and Setup

Commissioning Prerequisites:

• TigoEngine software installed and running on PC.
• TigoMaster/TigoGateway successfully connected to PC.

Installation

1. Plug a 24VDC power supply to TigoBridge A2 M12 power connector via an M12 cable.
2. The Power LED lights up Green. If it does not, check the power connection.
3. Once the power supply is connected, a reset cycle occurs. The reset cycle duration is a few seconds and displays a Red Green Blue color sequence.
4. Once the reset cycle is complete, the status LED alternates between Magenta and Yellow.
5. Plug the TigoBridge A2 to an IO-Link device (sensor/actuator). If TigoBridge A2 cannot connect directly to the device, use an M12 cable. Once successfully connected the Status LED alternates between Magenta and Green.
6. Open the TigoEngine and scan the network for the IO-Link Wireless TigoBridge A2.
7. Identify the TigoBridge A2 using the UID.
8. Select the requested TigoBridge A2.
9. Click OK and click Pair.
10. To configure the IO-Link device, select the appropriate row in the interface.
11. Configuring the IO-Link device is done through the Port Details view. Figure 10: Port Details View
12. Unpair – To replace a TigoBridge A2, click the Unpair button on the TigoEngine interface, and follow the instructions to unpair it. Once unpaired, the TigoBridge A2 status LED alternates between Magenta and Green.

• For instructions on how to set up the recommended Advanced IOLW Port Configuration in standalone.
• When the pairing process is complete, the TigoEngine Port Mode displays in Green and should indicate OPERATE. The TigoBridge A2 Status LED alternates between Blue and Green.

Pairing by Button

• This mechanism is for manual pairing without detailed knowledge about the TigoBridge device. With pairing buttons activated on both TigoBridge and TigoEngine the TigoBridge can be exchanged without the need for additional configurations.

1. In the TigoEngine, go to the row of the relevant W-Device and click Pair.
2. In the Pairing dialog box that pops up, set Pairing Method to Pair by button.
3. Press and hold the Pairing Button of the W-Device for 3 secs.
4. Click Pair in the TigoEngine pairing window.
5. After replacement, the parameters are downloaded automatically from the Data Storage into the new W-Device

Operation in Standalone Mode

• Standalone mode is a built-in feature of the TigoBridge that can be accessed when the TigoBridge is not  connected to any W-Device.
• Relevant for FW revision 11.04.1074.0 onwards
• To ensure proper operation and system security, on some applications it may be necessary to halt operation if any device is disconnected from the system. The Standalone mode feature in TigoBridge allows for the application to continue functioning unless the user manually sets the Advanced IOLW Port Configuration of the connected device to stop when the W-Device is disconnected.

Proceed as follows :

Figure 15 : Setting Advanced IOLW Port Configuration

1. When connecting to a new TigoBridge click on the Advanced button.
2. In the IOLW Port Configuration window, set the Validation & Backup box to IOLW Type Compare, No Backup/Restore.
3. Enter the Vendor ID and Device ID of the connected W-device in the corresponding fields.
4. Click Pair.

Figure 16 : IOLW Port Configuration Window When a W-device is disconnected from TigoBridge, the Standalone mode will no longer be accessible and the application will stop running

Device Configuration

• Add information regarding the port functionality – CQ/IOL

Firmware Update

• Firmware (FW) is updated wirelessly using the TigoEngine. Refer to the TigoEngine User Manual for detailed instructions. Contact CoreTigo Support if needed.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

• Troubleshooting is done using the LEDs display or the TigoEngine software. Refer to the TigoEngine User Manual for detailed instructions

Power LED

• When a power supply is connected to the TigoBridge A2 and the Power LED is off, the power supply is not properly connected, nor is it providing a power supply different than the expected range.

Status LED

• This indicates the IO-Link device connection status and the IO-Link Wireless communication status with the IO-Link Master. It alternates to show both the status of the IO-Link device connection and the IO-Link Wireless connection.

• Alternating Blue and Green – fully operational: both IO-Link device and IO-Link Wireless communication are properly functioning.
• Alternating Magenta and Green – TigoBridge A2 is unpaired from the TigoMaster while the IO-Link device is properly connected to the TigoBridge A2. Re-Scan and Re-Pair the TigoBridge A2 to the TigoMaster through the TigoEngine.
• Alternating Blue and Yellow – TigoBridge A2 is successfully paired to the TigoMaster while the IO-Link device is not properly connected to, or not fully functioning with, the TigoBridge A2. Check the IO-Linkdevice connectivity with the TigoBridge A2.
• Alternating Magenta and Yellow – Both TigoBridge A2 IO-Link Wireless communication are unpaired and the IO-Link device is not connected/functioning. Power down the TigoBridge A2 and power it back up, reconnect the IO-Link device, scan, and pair the TigoBridge A2.
