Use drag-and-drop to insert the IO-Link Device to the matching Port of the IO-Link
Master.
3. Adapt the settings of the ports to match their respective task in the application.
Possible port settings:
– IO-Link Time based IN: The input signals of the sensor are given a time stamp.
– IO-Link Time based OUT: The signal is output at the specified time.
