Pair by Button
The Pair by button is used to replace the existing TigoBridge B1 with a new one. The TigoBridge B1 must be powered off to assure that the TigoMaster disconnects before installing a new TigoBridge B1.
Pairing Button: currently disabled. To enable, contact CoreTigo Support.
Electrical Wiring
TigoBridge B1 has two M12 connectors
-
IO-Link Connector
5 pins, A-Coded female connector.
Maximum Current supply to IO-Link device 1L+ port is 1 A when using 24 VDC. Maximum Current supply to IO-Link device 2L+ port is 2.5 A under 50°C, linearly de-rated to 1 [A] at 60°C
-
Power Connector
5 pins, A-coded male connector
Higher voltage than 32 VDC is restricted, as it can damage the TigoBridge
Electrical Connection
Warning: TigoBridge B1 does not have reverse polarity power connection protection
Mounting
TigoBridge B1 should be mounted safely and securely next to the device to which it is connected. TigoBridge B1 can be mounted with or without the cradle accessory.
TigoBridge Cradle
The cradle is designed to simplify the mounting of the TigoBridge B1 on flanges or any other surface/machine/device. The cradle can be secured to any surface using either cable ties or M3 screws
Figure 8: TigoBridge B1 and Cradle
Figure 9: TigoBridge B1 Mounted on the Cradle
Cradle Mounting Guidelines
- Secure the cradle on the flange (or machine or any other surface) using M3 screws or cable ties.
- Mount the TigoBridge B1 onto the cradle by pushing it in.
- Pull the TigoBridge B1 from the cradle to unmount it.
Configuration & Setup
Commissioning Prerequisites:
- TigoEngine software installed and running on PC.
- TigoMaster/TigoGateway successfully connected to PC.
Installation:
- Plug a 24VDC power supply to the TigoBridge B1 M12 power connector via M12 cable.
- The Power LED lights up green. If it does not, check the power connection.
- 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.
- Once the reset cycle is complete, the status LED alternates between magenta and yellow.
- .Plug the TigoBridge B1 to an IO-Link device (sensor/actuator).b Note, if TigoBridge B1 cannot connect directly to the device, you may use an M12 cable. Once successfully connected the Status LED alternates between Magenta and Green.
- Open the TigoEngine and scan the network for the IO-Link Wireless TigoBridge B1.
Figure 10: TigoEngine Scanning Mode
- Identify the TigoBridge B1 using the UID. Select the requested TigoBridge B1. Select an empty port on the Master side and click Pair.
Figure 11: TigoEngine Pairing Process
- When the pairing process is complete, the TigoEngine Port Mode should indicate OPERATE. The TigoBridge B1 Status LED alternates between blue and green. Configuring the IO-Link device is done through the Port Details tab.

Figure 13: Port Details tab
Unpair – To replace a TigoBridge B1, click the unpair button, on the TigoEngine interface, and repeat the instructions to unpair it. Once unpaired, the TigoBridge B1 status LED alternates between magenta and green
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 TigoEngine User Manual for detailed instructions.
Power LED
Power LED – if a power supply is connected to the TigoBridge B1 and the Power LED is off, the power supply is not properly connected, or it is providing a power supply different than the expected range
Status LED
Status LED – indicates the IO-Link device connection status and the IO-Link Wireless communication status with the IO-Link Master. Therefore, it alternates to show both the status of the IO-Link deviceconnection and the IO- Link Wireless connection.
