Engine (Industrial Software)

In the realm of software development, an “engine” is commonly understood as a fundamental component of a complex software system, serving as a specialized module responsible for core functionality or specific tasks. This term is analogous to a car engine, representing a sophisticated subsystem within the software architecture. Engines are often designed to abstract low-level implementation details, offering a high-level interface for interacting with underlying functionality.

CoreTigo’s TigoEngine exemplifies this concept by providing a software-based engineering tool specifically for the efficient setup of IO-Link Wireless Masters and Devices. As an engine in the context of industrial automation, TigoEngine facilitates the installation, configuration, and monitoring of an IO-Link Wireless system. It streamlines processes such as communication setup for IO-Link Wireless Masters, scanning and pairing of devices, and configuration of wireless channels. With features like secure MQTT publishing, real-time Packet Error Rate (PER) display, and Over-the-Air software upgrades, TigoEngine encapsulates the necessary logic and tools to simplify the deployment and maintenance of IO-Link Wireless systems, embodying the essence of a specialized software engine.
