System overview
Introduction
A continuous communication down to the lowest field level ensures enhanced use of the
functions and performance capability of sensors and actuators. Enhanced use of sensors
and actuators allows you to operate your machines and plants more productively.
No data other than the actual process value can be exchanged via the standard interfaces
(digital, analog) used at the sensor/actuator level. Sensors and actuators with integrated
intelligence are now used for increasingly complex functions and require a communication
interface tailored to these requirements.

System overview
2.2 Overview of IO-Link system
The IO-Link master establishes the connection between the IO-Link devices and the
automation system. If the IO-Link master is a component of the I/O system, it is installed
either in the control cabinet or directly in the field as remote I/O in degree of protection
IP65/67. The IO-Link master communicates by means of various fieldbuses or productspecific backplane buses. An IO-Link master can have multiple IO-Link ports (channels). An
IO-Link device can be connected (point-to-point communication) to each port.
Engineering
The IO-Link system is engineered parallel to the overall automation system and can be
embedded in it and intermeshed with it.

2.3 IO-Link interface
2.3
IO-Link interface
Introduction
The IO-Link is a serial, bidirectional point-to-point connection for signal transmission and
power distribution under any network, fieldbus or backplane bus.
Connection system in IP65/67

M12 connectors and other connectors are defined for the connection system in IP65/67;
sensors have a 4-pin connector, actuators a 5-pin connector. IO-Link masters are always
equipped with a 5-pin M12 socket.
The pin assignment according to IEC 60974-5-2 is specified as follows:
Pin 1: 24 V
Pin 3: 0 V
Pin 4: Switching and communication cable (C/Q)
In addition to providing IO-Link communication, these three pins supply a maximum of
200 mA to the device.

Port types in IP65/67

Two types of ports are distinguished in the specifications for IO-Link masters:
Port Class A (Type A)
With this type, the functions of pins 2 and 5 are not assigned. The manufacturer defines
this function. Generally, an additional digital channel is assigned to pin 2.

This type offers an additional supply voltage and is suitable for the connection of devices
that have an increased power requirement. In this case an additional (galvanically
isolated) supply voltage is made available by pins 2 and 5. A 5-wire standard cable is
required to use this additional supply voltage.

Connecting cables
The devices are connected to the master by means of an unshielded 3-wire standard cable
that is up to 20 m long. Standard cables can be used to wire the sensors. No shielding or
compliance with specific regulations is necessary for the installation of the cables.

System overview
2.4 IO-Link protocol
2.4
IO-Link protocol
Operating modes
The IO-Link port of the master can be operated in the following modes:
IO-Link:
In "IO-Link" operating mode, the port is in IO-Link communication.
DI:
In "DI" operating mode the port behaves like a digital input.
DQ:
In "DQ" operating mode the port behaves like a digital output.
Deactivated:
The "Deactivated" operating mode is used for unused ports.
Transmission rate
In the IO-Link specification V1.1, three data transmission rates (baud rates) are specified for
the IO-Link operating mode:
COM 1 = 4.8 kBaud
COM 2 = 38.4 kBaud
COM 3 = 230.4 kBaud (optional according to Specification V1.0)
The IO-Link device only supports one of the defined data transmission rates. The IO-Link
master to Specification V1.1 supports all data transmission rates and adjusts automatically to
the data transmission rated supported by the device.
Response time of the IO-Link system

The response time of the IO-Link system provides information about the frequency and
speed of the data transmission between device and master. The response time depends on
various factors.
A value for the minimum cycle time of the device is stored in the device description file IODD
of the device (Page 18). This value indicates in which time intervals the master may address
the device. The value has a big influence on the response time. The master also has an
internal processing time that is factored into the calculation of the response time.
Devices with different minimum cycle time can be configured on a master. The response
time for these devices differs accordingly. In other words, the response time for various
devices connected to a master can vary greatly.
When you configure the master you can specify a fixed cycle time in addition to the devicespecific minimum cycle time stored in the IODD. The master then addresses the device
according to this specification.
The typical response time for a device thus results from the effective cycle time of the device
and the typical internal processing time of the master.

System overview
2.4 IO-Link protocol
Transmission performance
IO-Link is a very robust communication system. This communication system operates with a
24V level. If transmissions fail, the frame is repeated two more times. The IO-Link master
only detects a break in communication after the failure of the second repeat attempt and
reports this to the higher-level CPU.
Data types
Four data types are available:
Process data Cyclic data
Value status Cyclic data
Device data Acyclic data
Events Acyclic data
Process data
The process data of the devices is transferred cyclically in a data frame with the process
data size being determined by the device. Process data from 0 to 32 bytes is possible per
device (input and output, respectively). No fixed consistency width is set for the transmission;
as a result the consistency width depends on the master.
Value status
Each port has a value status (PortQualifier). The value status indicates whether the process
data is valid or invalid. The value status is transferred cyclically together with the process
data. By default, the value status is deactivated.
Device data
Device data can be parameters, identification data or diagnostic information. The data is
exchanged cyclically and at the request of the IO-Link master. Device data can be written to
the device and also read from the device.
Events
When an event occurs, the device signals to the master that an event is present. The master
then reads the event. Events can be error messages (for example, short-circuit) and
warning/maintenance data (for example, dirt, overheating).
Error messages are transferred from the device to the CPU or the HMI by the IO-Link
master.
The IO-Link master can also transfer events and states. Such events are, for example, wire
break, break in communication or overload.
Device parameters or events are transmitted independently of the cyclic transmission of
process data. The transmissions do not influence or impair each other.
IO-Link system
16
System overview
2.5 Device profiles
Startup of the IO system

If the port of the master is set to IO-Link mode, the IO-Link master attempts to communicate
with the connected IO-Link device. For this purpose the IO-Link master sends a defined
signal and waits for the reply of the IO-Link device.
The IO-Link master first attempts a communication with the highest defined data
transmission rate. If this transmission attempt fails the IO-Link master attempts a
communication with the lowest data transmission rate. The device always supports only one
defined data transmission rate.
If the master receives a reply, communication starts. First they exchange communication
parameters. If necessary the parameters stored in the system are transferred to the device.
Then the cyclic data exchange of process data and value status starts.
2.5
Device profiles
Introduction
Device profiles are defined for IO-Link to standardize access of the CPU user program to the
devices.
Data structure, data contents and basic functionality are defined in the device profiles. A
standard user view and an identical program access is thus achieved for a number of
different devices that have the same device profile.
IO-Link profiles
The device profile "Smart Sensor Profile" is currently defined for IO-Link. This profile is
especially suited for measurement sensors. In other words, measured values are transmitted
in addition to switching points.
In addition, the switchgear (for example, contactors) support the LVSG (Low Voltage
Switchgear) profile defined in IEC 61915-2.

IODD and Port Configuration Tool - S7-PCT
Device description IODD

An electronic device description, the IODD file (IO Device Description) is available for each
device. The IODD provides a wealth of information for system integration:
Communication properties
Device parameters with value range and default value
Identification, process and diagnostic data
Device data
Text description
Image of the device
Manufacturer logo
The structure of the IODD is identical for all devices from all manufacturers. The structure of
the IODD is always represented in the identical manner by the IO-Link Configuration Tool of
the master manufacturer (for Siemens, S7-PCT). This ensures that the handling is the same
for all IO-Link devices regardless of the manufacturer.
Two different IODD versions are available for devices that support both V1.0 and V1.1
functionality.
IO-Link configuration tool

Configuration tools are required to configure the entire IO-Link system. The IO-Link
configuration tools of the master manufacturers are able to read IODDs.
The main tasks of the IO-Link configuration tool include:
Assigning the devices to the ports of the master
Address assignment of ports within the address area of the master
Assigning parameters for the IO-Link device
Diagnostics can also be carried out on the connected devices.
This means the IO-Link configuration tool supports the transparent representation of the
IO-Link system down to field level.
Siemens provides S7-PCT for engineering of the IO-Link system.

Differences between IO-Link specifications V1.0 and V1.1
Specification
The technical definition of the IO-Link system is described in a specification of the IO-Link
consortium. The first step was the creation of specification version 1.0. The further
development and added functions of the IO-Link system led to version 1.1.
The main enhancements of version 1.1 are:
Parameter assignment server function (data storage)
Data transmission rate 230.4 kBaud is mandatory for IO-Link master
Combination of IO-Link devices

Note the following when combining IO-Link devices:
Only IO-Link devices that comply with V1.0 can be operated on the IO-Link master to
V1.0.
IO-Link devices that comply with V1.0 and V1.1 can be operated on the IO-Link master to
V1.1.
The parameter assignment function and the 230.4 kBaud data transmission rate of the
IO-Link master to V1.1 can only be used if these functions are also supported by the
IO-Link device.

Integration into the automation system

3.1
Configuration of the IO-Link system
Introduction
An IO-Link system is configured in several steps. In the first step the IO-Link master is
integrated into the automation system and configured. In the second step the parameters are
assigned for the IO-Link devices.
Integration in STEP 7
If you are using a SIMATIC S7 CPU, use V5.x or STEP 7 TIA Portal to configure the STEP 7
engineering tool. In the configuration, the IO-Link system is represented by the IO-Link
master and integrated using the corresponding device description (for example, GSD). The
IO-Link master can also be a fieldbus device (for example, ET 200eco PN IO-Link master) or
part of a modular IO system that is connected with the fieldbus (for example, ET 200SP
IO-Link master). In both cases, the number of ports, the address range and the module
properties are described. However, no additional information is available for the IO-Link
system, for example, for the IO-Link devices to be connected.
Example configuration in STEP 7 TIA-Portal

The following figure shows a PROFINET configuration in which the PROFINET devices
ET 200SP and ET 200ecoPN are integrated with IO-Link masters.
Figure 3-1
Configuring a PROFINET network with lower-level IO-Link masters
The address areas for the exchange of the cyclic data (process values) are specified by the

Port Configuration Tool - S7-PCT

S7-PCT is required to represent the system architecture fully and transparently down the
IO-Link device and to configure and parameterize the IO-Link system in detail.
Start S7-PCT from the hardware configuration of STEP 7. S7-PCT displays all Siemens
IO-Link masters configured in the automation system. After you select an IO-Link master you
can assign its IO-Link ports to the respective IO-Link devices. To do this, select the
corresponding devices (or their IODDs) from the device catalog and drag these to the
IO-Link master port.

Address range of the ports

In addition to the assignment of the IO-Link devices to the IO-Link master ports, the default
address ranges of the ports can be changed. The IO-Link master transfers the process
values that it receives from the IO-Link device in these address ranges and makes the
process values available to the higher-level automation system.
To set this address range, select the "Addresses" tab (see previous figure).
Setting device parameters

Specific parameter settings are required to adjust the device to the respective application
task. The possible parameters and set values are contained in the IODD of each device. You
set the device parameters directly in S7-PCT.
To do this, select the "Parameters" tab in the project tree (left tree) after you have selected
the appropriate device.

3.2 Data access of the automation system and the HMI device
Starting from the displayed defaults, you can edit and save the values in the defined value
range.
The configuration of the IO-Link system and the parameters of the devices are available to
the IO-Link system and the entire automation project. You have the option of saving and
printing the configuration and the parameters.
3.2
Data access of the automation system and the HMI device
Cyclic data exchange

To exchange cyclic process data between an IO-Link device and a CPU, the IO-Link data is
assigned by the IO-Link master to the previously set address ranges. The user program of
the CPU accesses and processes the process values by using these addresses. The cyclic
data from the CPU to the IO-Link device (for example, IO-Link actuator) takes place in
reverse order.
Acyclic data exchange

Acyclic data, such as device parameters or events, is exchanged by means of a fixed index
and subindex area. The CPU accesses the data using system mechanisms (for example, for
online functions such as reading the status). You can use the index and subindex area to
access specific device information (for example, to re-assign parameters of the device or
master during operation).
Programming the user program

The programming of the CPU user program is another task in addition to the configuration
and parameterization of the IO-Link system and its integration into the overall automation
system.
To support the programming of acyclic access, Siemens offers the "IOL_CALL" function
block/instruction for the automation systems SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 for IO-Link.
This instruction is used to write (parameter) data to an IO-Link device or to read it from an
IO-Link device. The data is uniquely addressed with index and subindex on the IO-Link
device. For information on the structure of data objects, refer to the respective
documentation of the IO-Link device.
Application example
An IO-Link application example is available on the Internet
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/38006560).
This application example implements the reading and writing of process data and
parameterization data from IO-Link masters and switchgear and the visualization on the HMI.
In the process, the CPU and HMI configuration is performed so that it can be easily
integrated into your own projects.

3.3 Replacing devices during operation
3.3
Replacing devices during operation
Introduction
Replacing a device during operation is a scenario that occurs again and again and has to be
completed without longer plant downtimes. Replace a device quickly and avoid incorrect
settings. Devices can also be replaced by operators without special knowledge and aids.
Parameter assignment server function

The device parameters set during engineering with S7-PCT and IODD are transferred to the
device. The device stores these parameters in a non-volatile manner. These parameters can
be used at any time with S7-PCT or modified from the CPU/HMI and stored in the device.
The following different scenarios apply to the backup of device parameter data in the master:
1. You have set the device parameters with S7-PCT and downloaded them to the device; in
this case the backup is triggered by S7-PCT (default in the "Data Storage" tab).
2. You have modified the device parameters online in the S7-PCT; in this case you have to
explicitly trigger the backup afterward. To do this, trigger the backup in S7-PCT in the
"Data Storage" tab.
3. You have modified the device parameters by means of a parameter transfer from the
CPU/HMI; in this case you have to trigger the backup using a system command after the
parameters have been transferred. To do this, transfer a system command to index 2 and
subindex 0 of the device with the coding 0x05. If the device parameters were stored in
the master, the master automatically makes these parameters available to the new
device when the device is replaced.
Device replacement is thus supported, because the new device is automatically
parameterized by the IO-Link master. Requirement for the use of the parameter assignment
server function is the implementation of the IO-Link specification V1.1 in the master and in
the devices.
Master and devices to IO-Link specification V1.0 do not feature this function. In these cases
we recommend to store the device parameters in the higher-level automation system. Use
the "IOL_CALL" function block/instruction to store the parameters and to reassign the
parameters of a replaced device.
