4.4. Pair by Button
The Pair by button is used to replace existing TigoBridge B1 with a new one.
The TigoBridge B1 must be powered off to assure that the TigoMaster disconnects before installing a new
TigoBridge B1.
Pairing Button currently disabled. To enable, contact CoreTigo Support.
4.5. Electrical Wiring
TigoBridge B1 has two M12 connectors.
•IO-Link Connector: 5 pins, A-Coded female connector.
Maximum Current supply to IO-Link device 1L+ port is 1 A when using 24 VDC.
Maximum Current supply to IO-Link device 2L+ port is 2.5 A under 50°C, linearly
de-rated to 1 [A] at 60°C
•Power Connector: 5 pins, A-Coded male connector.
Higher voltage than 32 VDC is restricted, as it can damage the TigoBridge.

2. The Power LED lights up green. If it does not, check the power connection.
3. Once the power supply is connected, a reset cycle occurs. The reset cycle duration is a few
seconds and displays a red green blue color sequence.
4. Once the reset cycle is complete, the status LED alternates between magenta and yellow.
5. Plug the TigoBridge B1 to an IO-Link device (sensor/actuator).
Note, if TigoBridge B1 cannot connect directly to the device, you may use an M12 cable. Once
successfully connected the Status LED alternates between Magenta and Green.

8. Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is done using the LEDs display or the TigoEngine software. Refer to TigoEngine User
Manual for detailed instructions.
8.1. Power LED
Power LED –if a power supply is connected to the TigoBridge B1 and the Power LED is off, the power
supply is not properly connected, or it is providing a power supply different than the expected range.
8.2. Status LED
Status LED –indicates the IO-Link device connection status and the IO-Link Wireless communication
status with the IO-Link Master. Therefore, it alternates to show both the status of the IO-Link device
connection and the IO-Link Wireless connection.
