Banner has also developed Add On Instruction (AOI) files to simplify ease-of-use between the QS18E, multiple third-party
vendors' IO-Link masters, and the Logix Designer software package for Rockwell Automation PLCs. Three types of AOI files
for Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs are listed below. These files and more information can be found at
.
Process Data AOIs—These files can be used alone, without the need for any other IO-Link AOIs. The job of a Process Data
AOI is to intelligently parse out the Process Data word(s) in separate pieces of information. All that is required to make use
of this AOI is an EtherNet/IP connection to the IO-Link Master and knowledge of where the Process Data registers are
located for each port.
Parameter Data AOIs—These files require the use of an associated IO-Link Master AOI. The job of a Parameter Data AOI,
when working in conjunction with the IO-Link Master AOI, is to provide quasi-realtime read/write access to all IO-Link
parameter data in the sensor. Each Parameter Data AOI is specific to a given sensor or device.
IO-Link Master AOIs—These files require the use of one or more associated Parameter Data AOIs. The job of an IO-Link
Master AOI is to translate the desired IO-Link read/write requests, made by the Parameter Data AOI, into the format a
specific IO-Link Master requires. Each IO-Link Master AOI is customized for a given brand of IO-Link Master.
Add and configure the relevant Banner IO-Link Master AOI in your ladder logic program first; then add and configure Banner
IO-Link Device AOIs as desired, linking them to the Master AOI as shown in the relevant AOI documentation.
Banner has also developed Function Blocks to simplify ease-of-use between the QS18E, multiple third-party vendors’ IO-
Link masters, and the Siemens TIA Portal software package for Siemens PLCs. Two types of Function Blocks files for TIA
Portal are listed below. The files and more information can be found at
.
Process Data Function Blocks—These files can be used alone, without the need for any other IO-Link Function Blocks. A
Process Data Function Block intelligently parses out the Process Data byte(s) in separate pieces of information. To make
use of this Function Block, a Profinet connection to the Io-Link Master and knowledge of where the Process Data registers
are located for each port is required.
Parameter Data Function Blocks—These files require the Siemens TIA Portal Function Block IO_Link_Device. This is
available from the Siemens website. A Parameter Function Block provides quasi-realtime read/write access to all IO-Link
parameter data in the sensor. Each Parameter Function Block is specific to a given sensor.
