IO-Link Interop Workshop – Nov 2021

  • Date: Nov 3-4, 2021
  • Place: Bad Soden (Frankfurt), Germany
  • Venue: H-Hotel
  • Register by: Sep 15, 2021
  • Cost: 150€

Postponed several times, we are all the more pleased that the IO-Link Interop Workshop can now finally take place on November 3-4, 2021, in Bad Soden (nearby Frankfurt Airport, Germany) and that we can expect many new products and solutions after two years. After all, a lot has happened with IO-Link; we are excited.

Do you have new IO-Link products and would like to test them in advance? Then the Interop Workshop is a good opportunity for this. The workshop is an open platform to test your devices or tools in interaction with other available products. In addition to the workshop, three expert groups will be formed on specific topics, such as “Test Systems,” “Profiles and System Integration” or “Data Storage.”

The venue will be the H-Hotel in Bad Soden, which is conveniently located in the metropolitan area Frankfurt/Main, Germany. We will have a very large event room so that we can place the tables for testing generously apart with a lot of distance. Your safety when attending our face-to-face event is essential to us. The entry and corona regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Hesse valid at the time of the event apply.

For participation in the Interop Workshop, a nominal conference fee of 150 € (plus VAT) will be charged. For organizational reasons, we ask for registration until September 15, 2021.

IO-Link Safety Plugfest – Nov 2021

  • Date: Nov 10, 2021
  • Place: Karlsruhe, Germany
  • Venue: TMG premises
  • Register by: Sep 30, 2021
  • Cost: Free

One week after the regular IO-Link Interop Workshop, a Plugfest specifically for IO-Link Safety will take place. On November 10th, 2021, device, software, or stack manufacturers will have the opportunity to extensively test their IO-Link Safety products in interaction with other manufacturers.

The Plugfest will take place at TMG’s premises in Karlsruhe (Germany), where sufficiently large meeting rooms will be available – naturally in compliance with the Corona regulations of the city of Karlsruhe (or respectively of the state of Baden-Württemberg) in force at the time of the event.

There will be no participation fee for the event, but we ask for binding registration by September 30th, 2021, at the latest (mail to barbara.weber[AT]profibus.com). We need the complete address, mail address, and telephone number from each participant at registration.

Furthermore, we ask you to indicate the type and number of devices: FS-Master (stand-alone?, with gateway?, associated engineering?) or FS-Device(s).

We would like to point out once again that this workshop is only geared towards IO-Link Safety. For “non-safety” IO-Link devices, the IO-Link Interop workshop on November 03/04, 2021, in Bad Soden (Germany) offers the opportunity for testing.
