I/O Field vs Balluff NFC Toolbox

The “WAGO I/O Field” app is for monitoring and full operation of the WAGO I/O System Field. This app allows you to display device information for both fieldbus modules and IO-Link hubs, make settings and adjust all device parameters. The communication this requires takes place through the Bluetooth® interface of the mobile device once Data Matrix has been scanned to select the device. Users and the associated access rights can be set up and managed. Outputs can be forced and inputs set in order to support commissioning of systems. The current measured values of a port can be displayed (temperature, voltage, current and states) and configured (including operating mode and filters). Devices can be reset to the factory settings and firmware restarted. License Agreement By downloading the app, you agree to the terms of the WAGO’s license agreement (accessible via EULA and the support URL below).

With the (BALLUFF) NFC Toolbox app, your next setup of NFC-enabled BALLUFF hardware will be a breeze. But the NFC Toolbox app will not only assist you during the initial setup, it will also help in maintenance cases when it comes to restoring a device to its original state or even completely replacing it. If a device needs to be replaced, its last parameter set can be easily copied to a new device.

Factory Reset: Open the NFC Toolbox, hold your phone up to the device, press read, select Factory Reset, wait & confirm. Device Cloning: Read the defective device with the NFC Toolbox, hold your phone up to the new device, press write to transfer the read data set, and, if necessary, restart the device – done.
