4.4. Pair by Button
The Pair by button is used to replace existing TigoBridge A1 with a new one.
The TigoBridge A1 must be powered off to assure that the TigoMaster disconnects before installing a new TigoBridge A1.
** Pairing Button currently disabled. To enable, contact CoreTigo Support.
4.5. Electrical Wiring**
TigoBridge A1 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 A1.

4.6. Electrical Connection

Warning: TigoBridge A1 does not have reverse polarity power connection protection.

Mounting

TigoBridge A1 should be mounted safely and securely next to the device to which it is connected.
TigoBridge A1 can be mounted with or without the cradle accessory.
5.1. TigoBridge Cradle
The cradle is designed to simplify mounting of the TigoBridge A1 on flanges or any other surface/machine/device. The cradle can be secured to any surface using either cable ties or M3 screws.

Cradle Mounting Guidelines:

1. Secure the cradle on the flange (or machine or any other surface) using M3 screws or cable ties.
2. Mount the TigoBridge A1 onto the cradle by pushing it in.
3. Pull the TigoBridge A1 from the cradle to unmounting it.

Configuration & 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 A1 M12 power connector via 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 A1 to an IO-Link device (sensor/actuator).
   Note, if TigoBridge A1 cannot connect directly to the device, you may 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 A1.

7. Identify the TigoBridge A1 using the UID. Select the requested TigoBridge A1. Select an emptyport on the Master side and click Pair.

8. When the pairing process is complete, the TigoEngine Port Mode should indicate OPERATE.
   The TigoBridge A1 Status LED alternates between blue and green. Configuring the IO-Link device is done through the Port Details tab.

Unpair – To replace a TigoBridge A1, click the unpair button, on the TigoEngine interface, and repeat the instructions to unpair it. Once unpaired, the TigoBridge A1 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.
8.1. Power LED
Power LED – if a power supply is connected to the TigoBridge A1 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.
8.2. 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 device connection and the IO-Link Wireless connection.
Table 3: Status LED troubleshooting

Wired IO-Link
Operational| Alternating Blue and Green| Alternating Magenta and Green
Non-Operational| Alternating Blue and Yellow| Alternating Magenta and Yellow

Alternating Blue and Green – fully Operational: both IO-Link device and IO- Link Wireless communication properly functioning.
Alternating Magenta and Green – TigoBridge A1 is unpaired from the TigoMaster while the IO-Link device is properly connected to the TigoBridge A1. Re-Scan and Re-Pair the TigoBridge A1 to the TigoMaster through the TigoEngine.
Alternating Blue and Yellow – TigoBridge A1 is successfully paired to the TigoMaster while the IO-Link device is not properly connected to or not fully functioning with the TigoBridge A1. Check the IO-Link device connectivity with the TigoBridge A1.
Alternating Magenta and Yellow – Both TigoBridge A1 IO-Link Wireless communication are unpaired and the IO-Link device is not connected/functioning. Power down the TigoBridge A1 and power it back up, reconnect the IO-Link device, scan, and pair the TigoBridge A1.
