The DXM Configuration has a special tab for configuring the port settings on the IO-link master. To access go Register Mapping--> IO-link Config-
uration. In this section you can configure the port settings of the IO-link Master.
The operating mode can be configured for any port on the IO-Link master. The following modes can be used:
Deactivated
Use deactivated mode for any unused IO-link master ports if a device is not connected.
IO-Link Manual
The IO-Link master only connects IO-Link devices that have a certain vendor ID and device ID (1: IOL_MANUAL).
This mode is also required to for the Backup and Restore or Restore function.
IO-Link Autostart
The IO-Link master connects to every connected IO-Link device (2: IOL_AUTOSTART).
Digital Input
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital input (3: DI_C/Q).
Digital Output
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital output (4: DO_C/Q).
For more information on the port settings of the DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master, refer to the IO-Link Master Data Reference Guide.
4.4.1. Replacing an IO-Link Device During Operation (Backup/Restore Mode)
Replacing an IO-Link device during operation is common, and inadvertent changes to device settings can cause operational problems and
down-times. Operating personnel without special knowledge or tools can replace IO-Link devices quickly and without errors.
When the backup function of the IO-Link master is used, the IO-Link master automatically provides the saved parameters to the new device after
replacement. This makes IO-Link device replacement seamless in IO-Link applications. Another common industry term for this function is data
storage mode.
. Backup+Restore Mode
If a port on the IO-Link master is set to Backup+Restore, then the new device added to the IO-Link port takes in the same device configuration as the device
that was just replaced, as the IO-Link master had stored the last configuration change by a backup (3: Type compatible Device V1.1, Backup + Restore).
. Restore
If the port on the IO-Link master port is set to Restore, then the new device takes in the configuration according the settings saved in the master at the time of
the last backup. Because possible configuration changes were not saved in the master, a different behavior from the previous one before the replacement may
occur (4: Type compatible Device V1.1, Restore).
4.5. Configuring Connected Banner IO-Link Devices
(DXMR110-8K)
Banner's IO-Link Configuration Software offers an easy way to configure Banner IO-Link masters and Banner IO-Link devices, offering users
control of master and device configuration.
The easy-to-use software provides a variety of tools and works with the DXM110-8K, DXMR90-4K, R90C-4K-MQ, and R45C-2K-MQ IO-Link
Masters. Configure Banner IO-link Masters and IO-Link devices using the free IO-Link Configuration Software, available for download on the
product page for the DXMR110-8K at: https://www.bannerengineering.com/us/en/products/part.814332.html.
Like the DXM Configuration Software, this software enables you to configure port settings for the DXMR110-8K. It also has the ability to configure
Banner IO-link Devices connected to the DXMR110-8K and to configure the IP address settings of the DXMR110-8k and DXMR90-4K IO-Link
masters.
For instructions on how to use the software to configure IO-link port settings and IO-link devices connected to the IO-link master, use the IO-Link
Configuration Software Instruction Manual, available from the software by going to Help > Help File. The IO-link Configuration Software Instruc-
tion manual can also be downloaded directly on the product page for the DXMR110-8K.
