Commissioning
The communication with the WAGO IO-Link master is performed over the communication
channels provided by the engineering tool (TCI class 3) or its own communication chan-
nels (TCI class 2), depending on the case.
The process data is stored in the engineering tool's project repository, so it is included
when the project is archived and unarchived with the engineering tool.
10.2.3.4.2 Performing an IO-Link Device Firmware Update
The IO-Link community has defined a profile for updating WAGO IO-Link device firmware.
This makes it possible to perform this with every WAGO IO-Link master. However, this re-
quires support by a tool or function blocks.
The device manufacturer packages the firmware in a firmware package. This contains the
firmware itself and an XML file with information on the firmware.
WAGO IO-Link Configurator provides an import function for the firmware packages, which
are then available in the internal database for use. The device user interface then con-
tains an additional tab for conveniently performing the firmware update. If the firmware
package contains a new IODD, it is imported automatically and assigned to the device af-
ter the update. WAGO IO-Link Configurator makes the firmware update available for all
WAGO IO-Link masters.
10.2.3.4.3 Quick Start Guide: Using an ETHERNET IO-Link Master
• Install WAGO IO-Link Configurator.
• Connect the computer to the network to which the ETHERNET IO-Link masters are
also connected. Note the information on Windows Firewall in section
• Right-click [Search Devices] in the topology section menu.
• The ETHERNET IO-Link master should now appear. Try switching Windows Firewall
off if the WAGO IO-Link master is not detected.
• You can add an entry by double-clicking it.
• Connect at least one WAGO IO-Link device to the WAGO IO-Link master.
• Click the [Online] button in the toolbar. If the IO-Link master configuration does not
match the one shown in WAGO IO-Link Configurator, you can choose which configura-
tion to use.
• Click the [Search Devices] button.
• The connected WAGO IO-Link devices now appear, as long as the ports are config-
ured as IO-Link. Add the found devices into the project configuration.
• Double-clicking within the user interface of the master or making a selection in the
topology brings you to the IODD interpreter.
10.2.3.4.4 Quick Start Guide: Using TCI, e.g., in STEP 7 or the TIA Portal
• Install the PLC engineering tool that supports TCI. TCI V1.2 or higher must be sup-
ported.
• Import the GSD file for the PROFIBUS and PROFINET IO-Link masters that are sup-
ported by WAGO IO-Link Configurator. You can find them in the WAGO IO-Link Con-
figurator program directory under \Devices\Master\GSD.
• Install WAGO IO-Link Configurator.
• In the fieldbus configuration of the PLC tool (e.g., Hardware Config in Step 7), you can
now launch WAGO IO-Link Configurator by right-clicking "Launch Device Tool." The
corresponding WAGO IO-Link master automatically appears in the interface of the con-
figurator.
