2. Insert the IO-Link Master in the PROFINET IO system.
3. Configure the IP address for the IO-Link Master.
4. Assign the PROFINET Device Name.
5. Set the IO Device Update Time.
6. Configure the IO-Link ports.
a. Configure IO-Link port modules.
b. Configure port status modules.
c. If desired, configure data storage, automatic or manual - upload or download.
d. If desired, configure device validation and data validation.
7. Use chapter 12 PROFINET IO Reference Information to complete configuration after attaching the
IO-Link devices.
