Test Report Overview

The Banner Engineering TL50 Tower Light operates properly with the Comtrol IO-Link Master. This report contains the following topics:

• IO-Link Master – IO-Link Diagnostics page

• Configuring IO-Link settings

• Setting up passwords

• IO-Link device configuration

• Using the data storage feature

• Using the device validation feature

The Tower Light was tested using Application Base v1.4.16 (and WebGUI 1.4.1.28) on the IO-Link Master 4-EIP (machine mountable IP67). This report does not illustrate all Comtrol IO-Link Master features, such as: EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP configuration, uploading the latest software, or network configuration.

IO-Link Master – IO-Link Diagnostics Page

A Banner Engineering TL50 Tower Light was connected to the Comtrol IO-Link Master and upon connection, the IO-Link Diagnostics page immediately displayed the device on Port 3.


Configuring IO-Link Settings Settings

During IO-Link configuration, the Minimum Cycle Time can be left to the default value, as the IO-Link Master negotiates the required Cycle Time with each IO-Link device.

This example shows configuring a port-friendly name. The Data Storage and Device Validation features are discussed later in this report after using the IO-Link Master to configure the IO-Link device parameters.


After Configuring Friendly Port Names

You can use the IO-Link Settings page to customize the Port Name. The IO-Link Diagnostics page now displays a friendly port name.


Setting Up Passwords

The IO-Link Master ships from the factory without passwords and administrative permissions are granted. You can use the Advanced | Accounts page to set up passwords for the IO-Link Master. Admin, Operator, and User permissions are defined in the help system on the Accounts page.


IO-Link Device Configuration

You can use the Comtrol IO-Link Master to configure the IO-Link device.

• If an IODD file is loaded, you may want to use the table (GUI) on the top of the IO-Link Device – Port page to change parameter settings.

• If an IODD file is not loaded, you can use the ISDU Interface on the bottom of the IO-Link Device – Port page

This section discusses the following topics:

• Loading IODD files

• Verifying that the correct IODD file is loaded

• Changing IO-Link device parameters using the GUI

• Resetting to the IO-Link device to factory defaults

• Changing IO-Link device parameters using the ISDU Interface

Loading the IODD Files

The following image shows loading the IODD file for the TL50 Tower Light .

1. Click Attached Devices | IODD Files.

2. Click the UPLOAD FILE button.

3. Click CHOOSE FILE and select the file set to upload.


4. Click the UPLOAD button.

5. If there are files in the IODD file set that are not required by the associated xml file, the IO-Link Master does not load the files, and displays an Ignored Files message. Click Ok to close the message.

6. Click the file name in the table if you want to review the xml file.


7. Optionally, click the hyperlink if you want to view the xml file in your browser.


Verifying that the Correct IODD Files Loaded

The IO-Link Master can verify that the correct IODD files for a product have loaded using the Configuration Summary page.

1. Click Attached Files | Configuration Summary.

2. Verify that the port that the device is connected to displays an xml file name in the IODD Name field, as illustrated in this image.


Changing Tower Light Parameters Using the GUI

The TL50 displays properly in the IO-Link Device – Port page:

1. Click Attached Devices | Port 3 (in this example). The TL50 displays in the PORT page. You can collapse parameter group to speed up the page loading.


2. Click the EDIT button to make parameter changes using the GUI.

In this example the following changes were made in the table, Index 67 Sub-Indexes 1 through 7 changed from 1 to 10.


3. Observe that the changes have been made.

4. At this point, Modbus Poll was opened and configured to send PDO.

5. Open Read/Write Definition and configure it as shown.

Note: The first digit of the Address is the port number. This example uses Port 3. Quantity means the number of registers.


6. Connect using the appropriate IP address.

7. Enter the appropriate hex value to operate the segments using the Banner EZ-Light TL50 with IO-Link Data Map to

determine register value using the IO-Link Process Data Out (Master to Device) section.


This is image shows that the Light Tower is lit (155h).


Changing Parameters Using the ISDU Interface

This shows using the IO-Link ISDU Interface to change configuration parameters.

Please note:

• You must enter the decimal value for the ISDU Block Index and ISDU Sub-index.

• You must enter the hexadecimal value in the interface.

• The following screenshots do not illustrate the system responses. The IO-Link Master responds with a command executed notification.

The following shows how to use the IO-Link ISDU Interface to change IO-Link device configuration parameters. The PDO is set to 189 so that every other segment is flashing.

1. Expand the IO-Link Device ISDU Interface at the bottom of the page.


The following images do not display the complete web page.

2. Verify that the Tower Light responds to queries.

a. Enter the ISDU Block Index and the ISDU Sub-index.

b. Click GET.

3. Change Index 67 | Sub-index 2 to 1 and click SET. Notice that this index uses a gradient, which must taken into consideration when using the ISDU Interface.


4. Change Index 67 sub-index 4 to 1.

5. To verify the parameter changes, click the REFRESH button. Optionally, you can perform a GET on each changed index.


Using the Data Storage Feature

The following examples illustrate automatic and manual data storage. Index 67 has been changed accordingly before enabling the Automatic Upload feature and after resetting the Tower Light to factory defaults, the Download Data Storage feature. Sub-indexes 1, 3 and 5 are set at 10 and Sub-indexes 2 and 4 are set to 1.

This example automatically uploads data storage using the above values.

1. Access the Configuration | IO-Link Settings page.
