IO-Link Master
11.1 IO-Link Master (6ES7148-6JA00-0AB0)
ET 200eco PN
216 Operating Instructions, 08/2016, A5E01250250-AJ
You can select one of the following operating modes for each of the four ports of the IO-Link
Master:
● IO-Link
● DI
● DQ
● Disabled
You make the selection in the Port Configurator tool during parameterization. If no
parameters have been assigned, the ports will be disabled.
Note
Value status
The value status (PortQualifier) is relevant in IO
-Link mode only.
Each port has a value status display (PortQualifier) per device. The value status shows if the
process data is valid or invalid.
By default, the value status (PortQualifier) is disabled.
In IO-Link mode, the port is in IO-Link communication. There are two data transmission rates
in this operating mode. COM1 with 4.8 kBaud; COM2 with 38.4 kBaud. The data
transmission rate depends on the IO-Link Device used. The IO-Link Master and the IO-Link
Device used automatically negotiate the maximum data transmission rate at startup.
In DI mode, a port of the IO-Link Master behaves like a standard DI.
In DQ mode, a port of the IO-Link Master behaves like a standard DQ.
The respective port of the IO-Link Master is disabled in Disabled mode. The ports are
disabled if the IO-Link Master has not yet been parameterized with
S7-PCT
(default setting).
Consistency width of 8 byte
The IO-Link Master has a consistency width of 8 byte. In addition to the upper limit of 32 byte
input and 32 byte output for the entire IO-Link Master, there are other upper limits of 8 byte
input and 8 byte output per IO-Link Device (per port).
