Selecting a connection
The netFIELD Device offers several types of connections:
·
Exclusive owner: The Scanner can read input process data and write
output process data.
·
Input only: The Scanner can read input process data only.
·
Listen only: The Scanner can read input process data only. This
connection requires that another Scanner has established an Exclusive
Owner or an Input Only connection with the netFIELD device.
The max. number of usable IO-Link Devices (for wireless connection)
depends on the number of IO-Link bytes the used IO-Link Device requires
to transfer. In case, one or more IO-Link Devices require to transfer 17 or
more IO-Link bytes, then max. 8 IO-Link Devices can be used. In case all
IO-Link Devices requires 16 IO-Link bytes or less, then up to 16 IO-Link
Devices can be used.
Connection
Name
Description
Connection 1
Exclusive Owner – 8 ports x 32
bytes
Up to 8 IO-Link Devices with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one wireless
track can be used. The EtherNet/IP Scanner sends the wireless IO-
Link port parameters to the netFIELD Wireless IO-Link Master device.
Connection 2
Exclusive Owner – 8 ports x 32
bytes w/o Config
Up to 8 IO-Link Devices with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one wireless
track can be used. The wireless IO-Link port parameters have to be
set using the netFIELD Wireless Web Server.
Connection 3
Listen Only – 8 ports x 32
bytes
Up to 8 IO-Link Devices with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one wireless
track can be used.
Connection 4
Input Only – 8 ports x 32 bytes Up to 8 IO-Link Devices with up to 32 IO-Link bytes and one wireless
track can be used.
Connection 5
Exclusive Owner - 16 ports x
16 bytes w/o Config
Up to 16 IO-Link Devices with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two wireless
tracks can be used. The wireless IO-Link port parameters have to be
set using the netFIELD Web Wireless Server.
Connection 6
Listen Only - 16 ports x 16
bytes
Up to 16 IO-Link Devices with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two wireless
tracks can be used.
Connection 7
Input Only - 16 ports x 16
bytes
Up to 16 IO-Link Devices with up to 16 IO-Link bytes and two wireless
tracks can be used.
Connection 8
Exclusive Owner - 16 ports x 4
bytes w/o Config
Up to 16 IO-Link Devices with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two wireless
tracks can be used. The wireless IO-Link port parameters have to be
set using the netFIELD Web Wireless Server.
Connection 9
Listen Only - 16 ports x 4 bytes Up to 16 IO-Link Devices with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two wireless
tracks can be used.
Connection 10
Input Only - 16 ports x 4 bytes
Up to 16 IO-Link Devices with up to 4 IO-Link bytes and two wireless
tracks can be used.
