How it works
PocketCodr is the easiest way to configure an IO-Link device, so it is quick to explain how it works. It only takes four steps to get started.
Get Ready
The PocketCodr experience uses three components:
- PocketCodr device
- PocketCodr companion app
- PocketCodr subscription that defines your service level
You will then be able to configure any certified IO-Link detector. Note that, without a subscription, you will still be able to see live device data, and read the parameters menu.
Purchase a Starter Kit from our store or any of our distributors to get on board!
Activate your account
Sign up for a free account and activate your subscription! We recommend a Configure subscription plan to fully unleash the power of PocketCodr.
Activating your subscription is easy and takes only seconds: you will be able to use an activation code as found in the Starter Kits, or use your credit card.

Device Compatibility
PocketCodr is a configuration solution for devices using IO-Link, the leading standard for the communication with industrial sensors and actuators.
While IO-Link is technically a standard regulated by the IO-Link consortium, sensor brands have significant freedom when implementing the IO-Link data structure and feature logic.
Because every IO-Link device comes with a different set of parameters and process data structure, PocketCodr includes mechanisms to automatically find the requires device information.
With every device, PocketCodr can let you display and edit your device parameters. More advanced devices support our groundbreaking Action Widget technology. Check this page to see which level of support you'll get!
