S7 Port Configuration Tool (S7-PCT)

SIMATIC S7-PCT
The Port Configuration Tool (PCT) is a PC-based software for the parameter assignment of
Siemens IO-Link Master modules and IO-Link devices from any manufacturer.
You integrate IO-Link-devices using the standardized device description "IODD", which you
get from the respective device manufacturer. S7-PCT supports version 1.0 and V1.1 of the
IODD.
S7-PCT is called via the hardware configuration of the IO-Link Master from STEP 7. When STEP
7 is not used or the IO-Link Master is not operated on a SIMATIC controller, "standalone"-
operation is also possible.
You can find additional information on IO-Link on the Internet
(https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/industrial-communication/io-
link.html).
