• No special cables required • Connectivity options remain the same • Access IO-Link functionality by simply connecting an IO-Link enabled device to an IO-Link master • Analog devices no longer require a dedicated input card Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017...
In this case, it is possible to monitor or configure the sensor through IO-Link on pin 4 of the sensors while connecting pin 2 (if the sensor offers a second output) of the sensor to a standard input card. Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017...
IO-Link Data Types There are four data types available through IO-Link: Process data Cyclic data → Value status Cyclic data → Device data Acyclic data → Events Acyclic data → Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017...
The controller accesses these using Explicit Messaging. The use of the index and subindex ranges allows targeted access to the device data (for example, for reassigning the device or master parameters during operation). Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017...
(portable network graphics). These files adhere to the IO-Link open standard, which means that they can be used with any IO-Link masters. IODD files are assigned using Studio 5000® and the 1734-4IOL Add-on Profile (AOP). (1) When using the 1734-4IOL IO-Link master module. Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017...
Sensors (Requires two IO-Link Masters To simplify the integration of the Rockwell Automation® IO-Link devices to the Rockwell Automation architecture, there is an IO-Link AOP available for the 1734-4IOL master module. The use of an AOP simplifies the setup of devices by providing the necessary fields in an organized manner.
The name resides in the project and the sensor itself. • Tag Naming for I/O Data: Rockwell Automation system solutions provide tag names that are based on the Allen-Bradley sensor connected. I/O data is converted, formatted, and named based on the Allen-Bradley sensor applied.
