IO-Link Master Unit Settings
Set parameters and I/O allocations from the Sysmac Studio.
9-4-1
Setting Parameters from the Sysmac Studio
Set the communications mode (Master Control) and I/O size (Process Data In Length/Process Data
Out Length) for each port. Refer to 8-2-2 Setting Parameters in the IO-Link Master Unit on page 8-8
for the setting details. An example of the set value for each port used in this system configuration ex-
ample is given below.

Master Control
Process Data In
Length (bytes)/Proc-
ess Data Out Length

9-4-2
I/O Allocation Settings or PDO Mapping Settings from the Sys-
mac Studio
Set the I/O allocations or PDO mappings according to the I/O size (Process Data In Length/Process
Data Out Length) for each port. Refer to 8-2-3 Changing I/O Data Sizes in the IO-Link Master Unit on
page 8-10 for details.
Additional Information
You can use the IO-Link Master Simple Settings to set the I/O size parameter (Process Data In
Length/Process Data Out Length) and accordingly I/O allocations or PDO mappings at once by
just registering an IO-Link device for each port.
Sysmac Studio version 1.29 or higher is required to use the IO-Link Master Simple Settings.
Refer to 8-2-4 IO-Link Master Simple Settings on page 8-15 for details on the IO-Link Master
Simple Settings.
