- Plug the USB connector on the BWA-UCT-900 into the PC.
3.3 Load an IODD and Connect to
Banner IO-Link Devices
After connecting a Banner IO-Link master to a PC, follow these steps to
connect IO-Link devices to the IO-Link Configuration Software.
-
Download the Banner IO-Link device IODDs.
a) Go to www.bannerengineering.com.
b) Search for the desired Banner IO-Link devices.
c) Click Product Detail.
d)
On the product page, under Downloads, navigate to the IODD file and click the
download button.
-
Extract the downloaded IODD zip file and save it to a desired location. Repeat this process for every Banner IO-Link device that is connected to the IO-Link master.
-
Open the IO-Link Configuration Software and click File > Load IODD in the upper left corner of the window.
A File Explorer window opens. -
Navigate to where the IODD file was extracted to in File Explorer and click on it.
-
Click Open in File Explorer.
The file explorer window closes, and the IODD file loads into the IO-Link Configuration Software. -
Click Connect in the IO-Link Configuration Software window.
The Banner IO-Link devices are now connected to the IO-Link Configuration
Software. The connected IO-Link devices appear in new tabs within the software
window, and the status in the bottom right corner now reads as Connected.
3.3.1 Read and Change the
Banner IO-Link Device Configuration
-
Select the device tab in the software window, and click Parameters in the left menu. Parameters is used to read and change the Banner IO-Link device configuration.
After clicking on Parameters, the Parameters pane opens within the device tab.
-
Click Read Params to read the current configuration of the connected Banner IO-Link device.
This displays the current IO-Link configuration information in the Parameters pane, along with all of the device’s available settings. -
If desired, make any changes to the Banner IO-Link device’s configuration in this pane using the available settings.
-
If changes were made to the settings, write the changes to the device by clicking Write Params.
3.3.2 Process Data
Process data refers to the information that the device reads and transmits to
the master, such as the distance reading on a laser measurement sensor.
Process data can also refer to information that is transmitted to the device
from the master, such as messages sent to a tower light indicating which color
segments should be illuminated.
Cyclic and acyclic process data can be transferred between an IO-Link master
and an IO-Link device. By clicking Process Data in the left menu, the user is
able to view the live process data of the Banner IO-Link device connected to
the IO-Link master.
Process Data IN is data that is sent from the IO-Link device to the IO-Link
master.
Process Data OUT is data that is sent from the IO-Link master to the IO-Link
device.
Read and Change the Banner IO-Link Master Port Configuration
The IO-Link Configuration Software has a special tab for configuring the port
settings on the IO-Link master. To access, click on the IO-Link master tab and
select PortSetup.
The operating mode can
be configured for any port on the IO-Link master. The following modes can be
used:
Deactivated
Use deactivated mode for any unused IO-link master ports if a device is not
connected.
IO-Link Manual
The IO-Link master only connects IO-Link devices that have a certain vendor ID
and device ID (1: IOL_MANUAL).
IO-Link Autostart
The IO-Link master connects to every connected IO-Link device (2:
IOL_AUTOSTART).
Digital Input
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital input (3: DI_C/Q).
Digital Output
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital output (4: DO_C/Q).
When the backup function of the IO-Link master is used, the IO-Link master
automatically provides the saved parameters to the new device after
replacement. This makes IO-Link device replacement seamless in IO-Link
applications. Another common industry term for this function is data storage
mode.
Backup+Restore Mode
If a port on the IO-Link master is set to Backup+Restore, then the new device
added to the IO-Link port takes in the same device configuration as the device
that was just replaced, as the IO-Link master had stored the last
configuration change by a backup (3: Type compatible Device V1.1, Backup +
Restore).
Restore
If the port on the IO-Link master port is set to Restore, then the new device
takes in the configuration according the settings saved in the master at the
time of the last backup. Because possible configuration changes were not saved
in the master, a different behavior from the previous one before the
replacement may occur (4: Type compatible Device V1.1, Restore).
Make changes to the ports’ settings by selecting the drop-down menus for each
port. To read the current configuration of each port, select the applicable
Read button. After making the desired changes to the port settings, select the
applicable Write button.
