  • Page 23: Io-Link Basics

    IO-Link master provides the interface to the higher-level controller and controls communication with the connected IO-Link devices. The Beckhoff EP6224-xxxx IO-Link Master module has four IO-Link ports. One IO-Link device can be connected to each of them. IO-Link is not a fieldbus, but rather a peer-to-peer connection (see following figure).

  • Page 24: Fig. 13 Io-Link Overview: Peer-To-Peer Communication

    IO-Link basics Fig. 13: IO-Link overview: Peer-to-Peer communication The connected IO-Link devices possess individual parameter information, which is recognized during automatic scanning with TwinCAT and adopted into the System Manager (see also the chapter "Basic function principles“, Integrating IO-Link devices). Offline can be read module specific information in form of an IO-Link Device Description (IODD) and adapted in TwinCAT.

    Commissioning/Configuration IO-Link device/master Input signal extension time: variable adjustable over Device Parameter (Object 0x0800 Subindex 2). Value Input signal extension time [ms] The parameter specifies the time for which an input impulse is extended with additional momentum change. Short change of the input impulse during the signal extension will be ignored. Fig. 53: Signal Extension If the input debouncing and the input signal extension is active, the input impulse is always filtered first and then extend the result.

    Commissioning/Configuration IO-Link device/master 4.2.10 Firmware update of the IO-Link device Firmware update An update of the boxes firmware is currently supported with the EP6244 IO-Link master box and the TwinCAT System Manager from the Version 2.11 Build 2248 R3 or TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4018. The firmware update is carried out directly via the IO-Link interface.
  • Page 78 IO-Link firmware files use the file extension *.efw. The firmware can be selected via the button „Download“. The dialog „Firmware Update“ is displayed only for the supported Beckhoff IO-Link devices. After a check of the firmware file *.efw the update starts automatically. This process must not be interrupted. The box will automatically restart after a successful update and therefore does not need to be de-energized.
