Setting Method

The setting procedure is shown below.
1
Create the IO-Link device configuration settings information.
From the IO-Link Master Unit Configuration Tool, set the vendor ID, device ID, serial number,
and IO-Link revision of the connected device for each port.
2
From the IO-Link Master Unit Configuration Tool, specify whether to verify the configuration
and what specifically to verify in the IO-Link Device Verification Settings.
For details, refer to IO-Link Device Verification Setting page 7-9 in Related Parameters on
page 7-9.
3
Connect the devices.
4
Turn ON the power supply to the IO-Link Master Unit and turn ON the I/O power supply.
IO-Link communications will be established. When IO-Link communications are established,
the ports will be verified.
For an NX-type IO-Link Master Unit, this procedure can also be executed by restarting the IO-
Link Master Unit.
If an inconsistency is detected during port verification, the Device Configuration Verification Error bit
for the port will turn ON in the I/O data.
IO-Link communications (both cyclic communications and message communications) for that port will
stop. The E indicator will flash red for an NX-type IO-Link Master Unit, and the C/E indicator will flash
red for a GX-type IO-Link Master Unit.
If a mismatch is detected for a port during verification, you can read the connected device information
for that port from the CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
Disable checking with the IO-Link Device Verification Setting from the IO-Link Master Unit Configu-
ration Tool before you read the actual configuration information from the CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
Precautions for Correct Use
• If you do not enable verification with the IO-Link Device Verification Setting, errors will not
be detected for an IO-Link System even if unwanted IO-Link devices are connected. We
therefore recommend that you enable verification with the IO-Link Device Verification
Setting.
• If you use an IO-Link device that does not have a serial number, do not set the IO-Link
Device Verification Setting to include verification of the serial number.
