In the device view of the PROFINET device, you can:
● Parameterize the ports
● Specify the input and output address ranges of IO-Link for exchange of cyclic data
(process values).
Figure 3-2 Device view with setting of the IO-Link address range
In addition, you can set in the module properties of the IO-Link master how the IO-Link
system is to be configured and parameterized.
In doing so, you can select whether or not you also want to work with the S7-PCT
configuration tool.
Note
IO data length
To ensure smooth operation, select an IO data length during configuration of the IO
-Link
master that corresponds at le
ast to the IO data length of all connected IO-Link devices.
