This example describes how to validate the transition of a controller-scoped configuration tag.
5.4.1
This example uses Port 1 Vendor ID although any configuration tag will suffice. The key point of
this example is to ensure that the AOI value corresponding to the selected configuration value
displays properly. this example will include a two-step process:
1. Configure Port 1 to IO-Link mode
2. Observe Balluff’s Vendor ID
5.4.1.1
To configure Port 1 to IO-Link mode, set the value of the Port_1_Function tag equal to 1. After
this tag has changed value, cycle the power to the BNI004A device in order for the port function
change to take effect. After power is restored to the BNI004A, the Port 1 IO-Link LED will be lit
steady green while an IO-Link device is connected (this LED will blink green if it is in IO-Link
mode without an operational device connected). Your controller scope tags should look similar to
this:
