IOconfig 2.2

IOconfig by DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH is a configuration and diagnostic tool designed to streamline setup, testing, and documentation of machine I/O on HEIDENHAIN-based controls and automation systems. It gives machine builders, integrators, and service technicians a clear, real-time view of digital and analog channels, simplifies signal mapping, and accelerates commissioning and troubleshooting. With both online monitoring and offline project editing, IOconfig helps validate wiring, verify device communication, and produce consistent documentation for handover and maintenance.

Key capabilities:

• Guided I/O configuration and channel mapping for HEIDENHAIN controls and compatible I/O modules
• Live monitoring of inputs and outputs, with tools for testing and simulation during commissioning
• Project templates, import/export, and version comparison to track changes and reuse configurations
• Built-in diagnostics with status visualization, timestamps, and event logs, plus consistency checks
• Support for common industrial fieldbus topologies used with HEIDENHAIN systems (depending on control and hardware)
• User-defined names, scaling, debounce settings, and comments for digital and analog channels
• Automated report generation for documentation and compliance needs

Typical use cases:

• Commissioning: verify sensors, actuators, and safety-related signals before production
• Retrofit and upgrades: remap signals and validate new I/O with minimal downtime
• Service and maintenance: pinpoint faults quickly with live status and trace tools

System and availability notes:

• Runs on current Windows PCs; network access to the control or I/O network and appropriate user rights are required
• Supported controls, fieldbuses, and firmware depend on the specific HEIDENHAIN platform and machine configuration
• For downloads, licensing, and detailed compatibility, contact DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH or your machine builder/integrator
