ANNEX B - Project Configugration Example
The following section describes the configuration of Integration Line gripping modules via IO-Link using a
suitable IO-Link master on a PLC.
Components used
•
PLC SIEMENS Simatic S7-1500 1511C-1 PN, part no. 6ES7 511-1CK01-0AB0
•
IO-Link master SIEMENS ET200eco-PN, part no. 6ES7 148-6JD00-0AB0
•
Engineering software SIEMENS TIA Portal / STEP 7 Professional V15.1
•
Port configurator SIEMENS S7-PCT 3.5 HF2
Requirements
This example assumes that the PLC has been commissioned and set up to the extent that it can be accessed
using the TIA Portal. The configuration software and port configurator must be installed. The basic handling
of the TIA Portal should be mastered. Furthermore, it is assumed that the gripping module is completely
wired to the IO-Link master. Information on the pin assignment can be found in chapter 5.2.1.
13.1
Preparation
Create a new project in the TIA Portal and configure the PLC. Set the IP address of the PLC
so that you can access the PLC via PROFINET. Then configure the ET200eco PN IO-Link master (see Figure 21).
The IO-Link master maps the cyclic process data of the gripping module in the I/O address range of
the PLC. The address range is assigned automatically during project planning and can be taken from
the device configuration.
13.2
Configuration of the IO-Link master
In the configuration view, the S7-PCT port configurator can be started by right-clicking on the configured IO-
Link master (Figure 22).
In S7-PCT, the device description file (IODD file) of the gripping module must first be imported (menu item
"Extras" -> "Import IODD"). The gripping module then appears in the device catalog on the right. Using "Drag
& Drop", the suitable gripping module can now be dragged from the catalog to the IO-Link port of the master
to be used (Figure 23).
Clicking the "Load" button in the S7-PCT toolbar transfers the port configuration to the IO-Link master. The
IO-Link master now establishes a connection to the gripping module. The corresponding LEDs on the IO-Link
master change to green, the "State" display on the gripping module changes from flashing green to perma-
nently lit green.
