Using the device validation features • This report is based on Application Base v1.3.18 on the IO-Link Master 4-EIP (IP67 machine-mountable). This report does not illustrate all Comtrol IO-Link Master features, such as: EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP configuration, uploading the latest software, or network configuration. Nor does this report discuss data storage because after analysis, this v1.1 sensor does not include a list of indexes in Index 3 that dictates the parameters that should be uploaded or downloaded.
Configuring IO-Link Settings Settings During IO-Link configuration, the Minimum Cycle Time can be left to the default value, as the IO-Link Master negotiates the required Cycle Time with each IO-Link device. The Device Validation feature is discussed later in this report after using the IO-Link Master to configure the IO-Link devices.
After Configuring Friendly Port Names You can use the IO-Link Configuration page to customize the Port Name. The IO-Link Diagnostics page now displays friendly port names. 5/21/2015 Comtrol IO-Link Master | SICK MPS-032TLTQ0 Magnetic Position Sensor...
The IO-Link Master ships from the factory without passwords and administrative permissions are granted. You can use the Advanced | Accounts page to set up passwords for the IO-Link Master. Admin, Operator, and User permissions are defined in the help system on the Accounts page.
IO-Link Device Configuration You can use the Comtrol IO-Link Master to configure the IO-Link device. If an IODD file is loaded, you may want to use the IO-Link Device – Port table (GUI) to change parameter • settings. If an IODD file is not loaded, you can use the IO-Link Device ISDU Interface on the bottom of the IO-Link •...

6. Click the IODD FILENAME if you want to view the .xml file. 7. If desired, review the IODD file in your browser. 5/21/2015 Comtrol IO-Link Master | SICK MPS-032TLTQ0 Magnetic Position Sensor...
Verifying that the Correct IODD Files Loaded The IO-Link Master can verify that the correct IODD files for a product have loaded using the IO-Link Device Configuration Summary page. 1. Click Attached Files | Summary. 2. Verify that the port that the device is connected to displays an xml file name in the IODD Name field, as illustrated in this image.
The appropriate IODD file must be loaded for the port to use the IO-Link Device – Port table (GUI). 1. Click Attached Devices | Port 4 (in this example). The IO-Link device displays as expected in the PORT page. 5/21/2015 Comtrol IO-Link Master | SICK MPS-032TLTQ0 Magnetic Position Sensor...

5. Remove the sensor from the port and connect another IO-Link device (not a MPS-032TLTQ0). 6. The IO-Link LED on the IO-Link Master is now flashing red to indicate that an incompatible device is connected to the port. In addition, the IO-Link Diagnostics page displays that an incompatible device is attached to the port.
This feature permits any MPS-032TLTQ0 sensor to function on this port. 1. Click Configuration | IO-Link. 2. Click EDIT and set Device Validation mode to Compatible. 3. Click the GET ATTACHED button. 4. Click SAVE. 5/21/2015 Comtrol IO-Link Master | SICK MPS-032TLTQ0 Magnetic Position Sensor...
