6.2.1

Basic procedure and prerequisites

Procedure when configuring IO-Link master and IO-Link devices
Configuration takes place in two steps with STEP 7, V5.4 SP5 or STEP 7 TIA Portal, V12.0 or higher:
1. Configuring the IO-Link master in HW Config. You will find IO‑Link master on the Internet
(http://www.siemens.com/industrymall) under "Automation" > "Industrial communication"
> "IO‑Link" > "Master".
2. With the Port Configuration Tool S7-PCT , you configure the connected IO‑Link devices.
Note
The block library for IO-Link (LIOLink) is available as download in the Siemens Industry Online
Support (SIOS) via the following link: Library for IO-Link (LIOLink)

Requirements
• STEP 7 from V5.4 SP5 or STEP 7 TIA Portal from V12.0.
• The Port Configuration Tool S7-PCT is installed on the PG/PC.
You can either install S7-PCT together with or STEP 7 or you can download it from the Internet
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/32469496).
• IO‑Link IODD files (IO Device Description) are installed in the S7-PCT hardware catalog. You
can download all current IODD files for the SIRIUS devices from the Internet
support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/29801139/133100).
IODD files for V1.0 and V1.1 are available for the combination of an IO‑Link master and an
IO‑Link device according to the IO‑Link communication specification V1.1. You may need
IODD files according to the IO-Link communication specification V1.0 when replacing devices
in existing installations.
• The GSD files of the IO‑Link masters are already installed in STEP 7 HW Config. You can
download all current GSD files for the Siemens IO‑Link masters from the Internet
