1. Installation and electrical connection

For installation and electrical connection please read see the
operating instructions → www.ifm.com.

2. Set-up

When the IO-Link Display is connected to an IO-Link master the
IO-Link port has to be configured.

In this example the IO-Link master AL1000 from ifm electronic
is used with the Siemens software Step 7.

The IO-Link Display has an interface with 1-byte input (→ 4.2 Input
data) and 14-byte output (→ 4.1 Output data).

3

If there is no explicit module on the master used it is possible to use
an existing module with a wider interface.

1.

Drag, for example, a 24/24-byte I/O module to the master port
to which the IO-Link Display is to be connected.

2.

Double click on the module:

3.

Enter name and comment as an option:

4.

Enter addresses for input and output ranges:

4

5.

Enter vendor ID and device ID to ensure that only an IO-Link
Display 1,44” can be operated at that port.

6.

Set the data storage according to the application's requirements:

7.

Write the configuration to the controller or PLC.

8.

Connect the IO-Link Display to the master using a 3-wire cable.

3. Parameter setting (acyclic communication)

Settings can be made and predefined text can be entered by
means of the IO-Link parameter setting tool or a PLC by writing
the corresponding parameters.

The LINERECORDER DEVICE can for example be used as
IODD-based parameter setting tool (→ 3.1).

It is possible to configure the following properties:

•

Process value display (unit, description text, decimal places) →

3.2

•

Text content for info pages → 3.3

•

Background colour of the info page → 3.4

•

Text instead of process values → 3.5; → 0

•

Display layout → 3.7

•

Content of a QR code → 3.8

The process values, colours and layout switching are controlled
via the cyclic communication of the controlling PLC. (→ 4 )

3.1.

Parameter setting with LINERECORDER DEVICE

► Connect the IO-Link Display via the USB interface E30390.
► Start the LINERECORDER DEVICE.
► Read parameters from the IO-Link Display:

► Change parameters.
► Write parameters to the IO-Link Display:

> The IO-Link Display can now be connected to the IO-Link master.
