IO Assistant 3.0 is the new generation of the proven project planning, start-up and maintenance tool for fieldbus and interface systems. In contrast to previous versions, the IO Assistant 3.0 is based on the standardized FDT technology that Turck supports with many products. The modular software provides the option of using the DTM (Device Type Manager) of the IO Assistant 3.0 in varying frame applications. This reduces the complexity of many systems and makes the entire solution transparent. All relevant equipment features are visualized transparently and in a user-friendly manner. The IO Assistant 3.0 supports the Turck I/O systems BL20, BL67 and excom, as well as numerous interface solutions.
