Configuration
When planning Profibus devices, a device is depicted as a modular system with a header
module and several data modules. The screenshots shown here have been taken from the
configuration software of the Siemens HW config.
GSDML file
The device data required for project planning is saved in GSDML files (

anguage). The GSDML files are available in two languages as an
Internet download (www.balluff.com). The data modules of an IO-Link module are depicted in
the project planning software according to the slot.
The GSDML file makes the possible data modules available (input or output of different data
ranges). For configuration of the IO-Link modules, the corresponding data modules are
assigned to a slot.
Integration of
the module
The device can be found by searching in the catalog and inserted in the Profinet section by
drag & drop.
In the BNI PNT-508-105-Z031 / BNI PNT-508-105-Z031-002 / BNI PNT-508-105-Z031-004
module port
functions (input, output, diagnostic input, IO-Link) or diagnostic messages can be
defined here.
The submodules PN-IO, port 1-M12, port 2-M12 are used for Profinet communication.
In X1 PN-IO, functions such as prioritized run-up or the domains for the ring topology can be
selected.
The remaining slots preassigned in the default configuration (1-8) are placeholders for the IO-
Link modules or standard I/O modules.
Slot 1 is for the first IO-Link port / standard I/O port (port 0), slot 8 for the last (port 7).
If IO-Link communication is planned for a given port, the standard I/O module must be deleted
and replaced with an IO-Link module, e.g., IOL_E_2byte.
