4.3 IO-Link Master Configuration
In this section, we configure the IO-Link master IP address, Subnet mask and the Default gateway
IP address.
Before You Begin
DHCP server
Ensure that there is a DHCP server available on the network, where the IO-Link master is
connected.
If there is no DHCP server available when you reboot the IO-Link master, the device connected to
the IO-Link master will not be able to find it.
Static IP address
If the IO-Link master uses a static IP address:
• and is connected to a network with DHCP mode enabled, the IO-Link master will not be
configurable.
• ensure that the IP address is in the same subnet as the device connected to it.

Publish Data From IO-Link 15 (20)
7 Publish Data From IO-Link
HTTP/JSON-requests are used to fetch and write data to the IO-Link master and devices
connected to the ports on the master.
To publish data from the IO-Link master, a subscribe request must be sent to the IO-Link master
via a HTTP/JSON-request.
Before sending subscribe requests the timer must be set on the IO-Link master.
The timer controls the cycle time of when data is pushed on the MQTT publish channel.
Before You Begin
The most efficient way is to send data from the IO-Link master when data changes.
The approach used in this application note was the best solution at the time it was written.
Procedure
To set the timer:
1. Visit curl.haxx.se/download.html and download curl.
2. When the curl download is finished, open a command prompt on your computer.
3. Write the code from Example 1 and Example 2.
– "adr": "/timer[1]/interval/setdata"
specifies which timer to use, timer[1] or timer[2] .
– Set the timer[1] to a value between 500 ms and 2147483647 ms.
Example, the timer is set to 500 ms: "newvalue": 500
– http://192.168.0.144 is the IP address of the IO-Link master.
Example 1: Request
{
"code": "request",
"cid": 4712,
"adr": "/timer[1]/interval/setdata",
"data": {
"newvalue": 500
}
}
Example 2: Request in curl
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"
--request POST
--data '{
"code": "request",
"cid": 4712,
"adr": "/timer[1]/interval/setdata",
"data": {
"newvalue": 500
}
} '
http://192.168.0.144

Publish Data From IO-Link 16 (20)
In Windows, there can be issues with single and double quotes, write the following:
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"
--request POST
--data "{
\"code\": \"request\",
\"cid\": 4712,
\"adr\": \"/timer[1]/interval/setdata\",
\"data\": {
\"newvalue\":500
}
}"
http://192.168.0.144
4. Send the request.
→ If the request is successful, the response is according to Example 3: Response.
Example 3: Response
{
"cid": 4712,
"code": 200
}
5. Write the code from Example 4 and Example 5.
– The public Mosquitto MQTT broker: https://test.mosquitto.org/.
– The Mosquitto brokers IP address: 5.196.95.208
– Port: 1883
– Topic: test.
Example 4: Subscribe Request
{
"code": "request",
"cid": 4712,
"adr": "timer[1]/counter/datachanged/subscribe",
"data": {
"callback": "mqtt://5.196.95.208:1883/test",
"datatosend": [
"iolinkmaster/port[1]/iolinkdevice/pdin"
]
}
}
Example 5: Subscribe Request in curl
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json"
--request POST
--data ' {
"code": "request",
"cid": 4712,
"adr": "timer[1]/counter/datachanged/subscribe",
"data": {
"callback": "mqtt://5.196.95.208:1883/test",
"datatosend": [
"iolinkmaster/port[1]/iolinkdevice/pdin"

\"datatosend\": [
\"iolinkmaster/port[1]/iolinkdevice/pdin\"
]
}
}"
http://192.168.0.144
6. Send subscribe request to the IO-Link master.
→ If the request is successful, the response is according to Example 6: Response:
Example 6: Response
{
"cid": 4712,
"code": 200
}
To unsubscribe:
When unsubscribing, always use the same cid that was used for subscribing to the event.
7. Write the code according to Example 7: Unsubscribe Request.
Example 7: Unsubscribe Request
{
"code": "request",
"cid": 4712,
"adr": "timer[1]/counter/datachanged/unsubscribe",
"data": {
"callback": "mqtt://5.196.95.208:1883/test",

Verify Communication 18 (20)
8 Verify Communication
To verify that the IO-Link master is sending data from the ifm pushbutton to the Mosquitto
broker, there must be an additional device connected that subscribes to the same topic that
the IO-Link master is publishing to.
As an additional device, we use an MQTT Client.
The devices subscribe to the topic: test
Fig. 20
Procedure
1. Visit mqttfx.org and download the JavaFX based MQTT Client installation file MQTT.fx.
Fig. 21
2. Install the JavaFX based MQTT Client on your computer.
3. Start the MQTT Client.
4. Open the MQTT Broker Profile Settings.
