FieldEcho
®
BENEFITS
MANUFACTURER-INDEPENDENT ACCESS TO ALL IO-LINK
DEVICE DATA
What long seemed nearly impossible is now becoming reality with the FieldEcho
®
software tool
from SICK: Access to all IO-Link devices in a heterogeneous automation system with only one
tool. The FieldEcho
®
makes it possible to parameterize, diagnose and monitor all IO-Link devices
integrated into a machine or plant - independently of the manufacturer, throughout the entire
life cycle of the plant and regardless of the programmable logic controller (PLC) and eldbuses
used.
§
Clear
The FieldEcho
®
enables unlimited
and bidirectional communication
with all IO-Link devices in a net-
work. After having congured all
IO-Link masters, all parameters and
process data of all connected IO-Link
devices can be processed clearly
and conveniently using a modern,
visually-pleasing user interface.
"
Anywhere
All relevant IO-Link device data can
be called up easily and from any-
where. Thanks to the remote access
function, IO-Link device remote diag-
nosis is possible, which minimizes
maintenance costs.
!
Fast
FieldEcho
®
saves time, as connected
IO-Link devices are found automat-
ically. The IODDs required for the
detected devices are automatically
downloaded from the IODDnder
and bound to the respective IO-Link
master port. Manual IODD download
is no longer necessary.

BENEFITS FieldEcho
®
&
%
Cost-ecient
Just a few clicks to the ongoing
application: For communication with
IO-Link devices via a eldbus, only
one line of PLC code is necessary,
which calls up the generic function
block delivered with the FieldEcho
®
.
The FieldEcho
®
exchanges data with
the PLC via OPC UA, an established
standard in industrial automation.
Time- and cost-intensive program-
ming of access to the IO-Link data
in the PLC is no longer necessary.
&
Flexible
Neither special hardware nor a
special protocol is required for use of
the FieldEcho
®
. The software tool can
be operated with nearly any PLC, any
eldbus and any supported IO-Link
master. Data is exchanged with the
PLC using the OPC UA.
$
Future-proof
FieldEcho’s
®
REST API grants IT
access to IO-Link device data for
applications like ERP, MES or cloud-
based services and bridges the shop
oor and Industry 4.0. The data can
be eciently used for subsequent
processing e.g. for inventory, predic-
tive maintenance or data analysis.

TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATION AREAS
FULL DATA ACCESS CAN BE THIS EASY
The FieldEcho
®
communicates with the PLC through OPC UA. The OPC UA server can either be installed
in the PLC itself or in any PC in a network. Using the generic SICK function block, the FieldEcho
®
has full
access to the process and service data of all IO-Link devices in a plant. SICK is continuously expanding
the number of PLC systems supported by the FieldEcho
®
.

TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS AREAS FieldEcho
®
Into the cloud with the REST API
Thanks to the REST API integrated in the FieldEcho
®
, various
system applications from third-party suppliers can also access
the IO-Link device data provided in JSON format via the REST
API. From commissioning and operation to maintenance,
valuable information is available in the operational manage-
ment level (MES), the enterprise level (ERP), for various cloud
services and any customer-specic applications throughout the
entire life cycle of the plant.
The FieldEcho
®
opens up new possibilities for Industry 4.0
concepts thanks to manufacturer- and location-independent
access to all IO-Link devices as well as the provision of
process and service data via REST API
The FieldEcho
®
can be used both on a individual PC
and in a network

Product description
FieldEcho
®
allows for parameterization
and monitoring of all IO-Link devices
in a plant throughout the entire life
cycle – regardless o the PLC, eldbus,
or IO-Link master used. FieldEcho
®
communicates with a PLC through OPC
UA. Using the SICK generic function
block, FieldEcho
®
provides access to the
IO-Link device process and service data.
FieldEcho
®
consists of a server that is
responsible for communication. It can
read and write IO-Link device data as
well as provide them for the FieldEcho
®
front end. Due to its REST API, this data
are also accessible for any third-party
application. Its front end interprets
IODDs and provides a graphical user
interface for the whole system as well
as for any single IO-Link device.
