This description assumes that the controller is an NX-series CPU Unit.
Use the Sysmac Studio to set CPU Unit I/O allocations, make NX-type IO-Link Master Unit settings,
enter the programs, and make adjustments.
Register the IO-Link Master Unit on the CPU and Expansion Racks Configuration Edit Tab Page.
• NX-type IO-Link Master Unit: Right-click the CPU Rack and select Edit,
and register the NX-type IO-Link Master Unit on the CPU and Expansion Racks Configuration Edit Tab Page.
Set the IO-Link Master Unit parameters (including the IO-Link configuration settings).
• NX-type IO-Link Master Unit: Click the Edit Unit Operation Settings Button,
and use the Edit Unit Operation Settings Tab Page to make the settings.
Perform the following step only if the process input data or process output data from an IO-Link device exceeds 2 bytes:

•
NX-type IO-Link Master Unit: Click the Edit I/O Allocation Settings Button,
and use the Edit I/O Allocation Settings Pane to add I/O entries to match the I/O sizes of the IO-Link devices.
Use the I/O Map to assign device variables to the I/O ports
Write the programming for cyclic communications and message communications.
• Cyclic communications: Specify the device variables in ordinary instructions.
• Message communications: Use communication instructions to access the IO-Link Master Unit and IO-Link devices.
Place the Sysmac Studio online and download the settings and programs
for the IO-Link Master Unit.
Place the Sysmac Studio online and use the I/O Map Tab Page or the Watch Tab Page
