Open Source license information
–
Open source software is used within the firmware.
–
You can retrieve the corresponding 'Open Source licence
information' via the head module used.
–
For more details, refer to the 'Open Source Licence Information' in
the manual for your head module.
IO-Link is an open standard for industrial point-to-point communication down to the
sensor/actuator level. Here you have access to process and diagnostic data and device
information. IO-Link is specified in IEC 61131-9.
IO-Link consists of the following components:
n
IO-Link master
n
IO-Link device
n
Unshielded 3-wire standard cable
n
Engineering tool for configuration and parametrization of IO-Link
The IO-Link serves as an interface between the automation system and the IO-Link
devices. The communication takes place via IO-Link ports.
You can operate the IO-Link ports in the following operating modes:
n
IO-Link mode
–
The port communicates via IO-Link.
n
SIO mode - DI
–
The port behaves like a digital input.
n
SIO mode - DO
–
The port behaves like a digital output.
n
Disabled
–
The port is disabled.
An IO-Link device is an element from the sensor/actuator level that can supply or process
diagnostic data in addition to process data. You can connect an I/O-Link device to each
port of the I/O-Link master. The communication between the IO-Link master and an IO-
Link device takes place as point-to-point communication.
IO-Link Manager is software from Yaskawa for configuring your IO-Link master and the
connected IO-Link devices. You can find the software IO-Link Manager in the 'Download
Center' of www.yaskawa.eu.com at SW300I0EA.
For integration into your configuration tool, you will receive an IODD file (IO Device
Description) from the manufacturer of the corresponding IO-Link device. The IODD file
contains individual device properties for the corresponding IO-Link device, which is avail-
able after integration in the configuration tool and thus simplifies configuration and para-
metrization.
IO-Link uses unshielded 3-wires with a maximum length of 20m to connect the IO-Link
devices. In addition to the IO-Link communication, a power supply for the connected IO-
Link device is also realised via these 3-wires
