7. IO-Link Connection Procedure
This section describes the procedures for connecting Photoelectric Sensor to IO-Link Master
Unit via IO-Link and for connecting Controller to Slave Terminal configured of IO-Link Master
Unit on the EtherCAT network. The explanations of procedures for setting up Controller and
Slave Terminal given in this document are based on the factory default settings.
For the initialization, refer to Section 8. Initialization Method.
