Configuration of the IO link master

Configuration of the IO link master 1:

EtherCAT XML device description and configuration files

The display matches that of the CoE objects from the EtherCAT XML Device Description. We recommend downloading the latest XML file from the download area of the Beckhoff website and installing it according to installation instructions.

When adding the IO-Link master (see chapter Integrating into a TwinCAT project) in the TwinCAT System Manager, an additional tab called "IO-Link" is created (fig. IO-Link tab). A detailed description can be found in chapter Configuration of the IO-Link devices

Configuration of the IO link master 2:
"IO Link" tab
Configuration of the IO link master 3:

IO-Link Extension

If the tab “IO-Link” is not displayed, the associated System Manager extension is missing. The System Manager extension is required for TwinCAT version 2.10, build 1325 to 1330.

  • If your System Manager version or TwinCAT 3 does not yet provide this support, it can be installed later if necessary. Please contact our Support.
