Update Module Firmware

Input Events

Carefully consider the implications of each keying option when selecting one.
IMPORTANT Changing Electronic Keying parameters while the project is online
interrupts connections to the device and any devices that are
connected through the device. Connections from other controllers can
also be broken.
If an I/O connection to a device is interrupted, the result can be a loss
of data.

Control Systems Application Technique, publication LOGIX-AT001.
The ArmorBlock 5000 8-channel IO-Link master module is manufactured with module
firmware installed. If updated module firmware revisions are available in the future, you can
update the firmware.
Updated firmware revisions are available for various reasons, for example, to correct an
anomaly that existed in previous module firmware revisions.
IMPORTANT Verify that you are using the correct firmware revisions for your modules
before commissioning your system.
You access updated firmware files at the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and
Download Center (PCDC) at: rok.auto/pcdc.
At the PCDC, you can use the module catalog number to check for firmware updates. If the
catalog number is not available, no updates exist then.
The ArmorBlock 5000 8-channel IO-Link master module can be configured with four input
event definitions.
To use Input Events, select the "Data with Events" or "Data with Events and Ethernet Status"
connection type in the IO-Link master Module Definition dialog.
To change the connection type, see
The following conditions can trigger events:
• An input state change
• A counting input done bit change
• A pattern of input state changes on multiple module inputs
When the module reports an input event to the controller, the module can trigger an event task
to execute in the controller. The event task lets you execute a section of logic immediately
when an event, or receipt of new data, occurs.
For more information on event tasks, see the Logix 5000 Controllers Tasks, Programs, and
Routines Programming Manual, publication 1756-PM005.

Independent Point Trigger

An input state change or a counting input bit done change that triggers an event is known as
an independent point trigger.
To use this type of trigger, you must enable the Independent Point Trigger option in the event
definition. Set the EO.Eventxx.IndependentConditionTriggerEn tag to 1.
