2.1 Use and Application
Intended Use
The SmartBridge interface is mainly used to quickly and conveniently capture information on
individual IO-Link devices via the IO-Link protocol, parameterize these devices, or detect their
operating states. This is possible in the machine control without complicated program ming or
implementations. From the perspective of the machine control, this data is accessed
completely without reaction. The SmartBridge interface can be used as both an active (master
mode) and a passive communication interface (monitor mode).
SmartBridge® System
The SmartBridge® system involves accessing sensor and actuator data in the field level of
automation technology on the basis of the IO-Link protocol. It serves as a simple operating and
display system for IO-Link devices (sensors and actuators), in which the data is read using the
SmartBridge interface and visualized in the SmartBridge app.
The SmartBridge system consists of the SmartBridge interface (hardware) and the
SmartBridge app (software) for mobile devices. The SmartBridge interface is placed between
an IO-Link-capable industrial sensor or actuator (IO-Link device) and the machine control unit
(PLC) in the connection line. The SmartBridge interface taps the IO-Link signal and transfers it
to a tablet or sm artphone via Bluetooth. The installed SmartBridge app visualizes the device
data.

IO-Link devices, such as the Pepperl+Fuchs ultrasonic sensor UC500 shown in the figure,
provide a variety of process and device data (e.g., distance values, sound cone width,
switching delay, device name, etc.). This data can be read and modified using the SmartBridge
system.

2.2 Application Types and Benefits
For the following application types, the SmartBridge® system provides a valuable advantage:
Clearer Application Parameterization of IO-Link Devices
Intelligent sensors and actuators often have many functions w ith w idely differing parameters.
With the SmartBridge app, it is very simple to display and modify functions and the associated
parameters.
Easier Commissioning of Machines and Plants
When commissioning machines and plants, it is often the case that not all of the required
control functions are implemented. In this situation, the SmartBridge system will indicate
whether the parameters of the sensors and actuators are set correctly, and whether all of the
data is transferred in full.
Easier Troubleshooting in the Event of Repair or Maintenance
Troubleshooting is often a time-consuming task, especially if faults occur only sporadically. In
such a case, it is helpful to log the actual function for a certain period of time, and then
subsequently evaluate the data on a PC.
Continuous Status Monitoring of IO-Link Devices
Some sensors or actuators are located at critical points in a machine or plant. Here, repeated
deviations from the intended function can develop for a variety of reasons, such as mechanical
wear, electrical faults, or climatic changes. In situations like this, continuous monitoring of the
limit values or notification thresholds may be required. The SmartBridge system is also
designed for permanent use in a machine or system and therefore offers easy visual monitoring
of critical operation and status data.
2.3 The Function of the SmartBridge Interface
Overview
The SmartBridge interface can be used in the connection line between the IO-Link device and
machine control, or it can be used autonomously with one IO-Link device only. For autonomous
use, an external power supply via a 24 V power supply unit or battery is required.
The SmartBridge interface features the operating modes m aster mode and monitor mode,
which are designed for different application types. In monitor mode, the SmartBridge interface
is a passive communication component. In master mode, it serves as an active component. In
terms of the machine control, data is accessed via the SmartBridge interface without any
reaction.
While monitor mode is suitable for recording data in an existing IO-Link connection, master
mode also enables the active modification of device parameters.
Depending on the selected operating mode, the SmartBridge® system can be used for the
following tasks:
Monitor mode
■
Displaying and recording process data
Master mode
■
Displaying process and status data
■
Displaying and modifying parameter data
■
Recording process and status data

Product Description
Master Mode
In master mode, the SmartBridge interface actively communicates with the connected IO-Link
device. This mode should be selected only if no additional IO-Link master module is connected
on the control side.
Depending on the type of connection, 3 application types can be identified in master mode:
■
Master Offline
This is the default function. In this case, 1 power supply only is connected on the
connection side of the SmartBridge interface directed toward the machine control. Any
signal lines belonging to the IO -Link device and SmartBridge interface remain
unconnected. The 24 VDC power supply can be supplied using either a power supply unit
or batteries. The respective connection method must be equipped with an M12 industrial
socket. Application scenarios for "offline" are pre-parameterization, function diagnostics,
and the commissioning of an IO -Link device.

■
Master Inline 3-pin
In this case, the SmartBridge interface is integrated into the supply line to a machine
control (PLC). For the IO-Link device, the interface serves as an IO-Link master. For the
control system, it emulates the binary standard input and output signal (SIO switching
signal) of the IO-Link device. Due to the emulation of the process data, this can lead to
delays in transferring process values. Application scenarios for "Inline 3-pin" consist of
diagnostics and parameterization of the IO-Link device within its machine or plant
application and the additional transmission of binary process data.

Master Inline 4/5-pin
In this case, the use of the SmartBridge interface is enabled without a time lag in the
process data on the machine control. In this "special case," signal line Q2 (pin 2, input) is
diverted without modification to Q 1 in the SmartBridge interface, and then connected to
the control system. Application scenarios for "Inline 4/5-pin" consist of diagnostics and
param eterization of the IO-Link device within its application in the time-sensitive
processing of process data.

Monitor Mode
■
Monitor
In this mode, the SmartBridge interface behaves passively. It logs the IO-Link communication
(line C/Q) between the IO-Link device and an IO -Link-compatible control system or an
intermediate IO-Link master module. In this operating mode, the contents of the data log are
displayed in the SmartBridge® app. Alternatively, these contents can also be written onto the
internal microSD card with a time stamp.
Figure 2.5 Connection for "Monitor"
Application scenarios for monitor mode are:
■
Logging the status of the IO-Link device
■
Visualizing local process data using the SmartBridge® app
■
Analyzing faults in the IO-Link communication
2.4 The Function and Structure of the SmartBridge App
Function
To make sure that the process, status, and diagnostic data of an IO-Link device connected to a
Smar tBridge interface can be processed by the SmartBridge app, the appropriate drivers are
required. After the successful registration of the SmartBridge interface in the SmartBridge app,
the interface transmits the "Vendor ID" (=ma nufacturer) and the "Device ID" (=device type) of
the connected IO-Link device to the app. Using this information, the app automatically loads
the appropriate IODD (IO-Link Device Description) for the IO-Link device and, if available, the
relevant GDD (Graphical Device Description) from a central data server. This requires the
mobile device to have an Internet connection, at least during the initial com missioning of a new
