When the IO-Link Display is connected to an IO-Link master the IO-Link port has to be configured. In this example the IO-Link master AL1000 from ifm electronic is used with the Siemens software Step 7. The IO-Link Display has an interface with 1-byte input (→ 4.2 Input...

If there is no explicit module on the master used it is possible to use an existing module with a wider interface. Drag, for example, a 24/24-byte I/O module to the master port to which the IO-Link Display is to be connected. Double click on the module: Enter name and comment as an option: Enter addresses for input and output ranges:...
Enter vendor ID and device ID to ensure that only an IO-Link Display 1,44” can be operated at that port. Set the data storage according to the application's requirements: Write the configuration to the controller or PLC. Connect the IO-Link Display to the master using a 3-wire cable. Parameter setting (acyclic communication) Settings can be made and predefined text can be entered by means of the IO-Link parameter setting tool or a PLC by writing...
3.1. Parameter setting with LINERECORDER DEVICE ► Connect the IO-Link Display via the USB interface E30390. ► Start the LINERECORDER DEVICE. ► Read parameters from the IO-Link Display: ► Change parameters. ► Write parameters to the IO-Link Display: > The IO-Link Display can now be connected to the IO-Link master.
