Configure the 871FM Sensor for IO-Link Mode
Example: Setup
the Hardware
In this example, an Allen-Bradley® POINT I/O™ chassis is shown with a
1734-AENTR adapter and a 1734-4IOL IO-Link master module in the first
slot. The 1734-AENTR adapter is communicating with a CompactLogix™
controller via an EtherNet/IP network.
When adding a 871FM sensor to the 1734-4IOL master module, complete the
following steps:
1. Provide power to the 1734-AENTR adapter.
2. Set the node address on 1734-AENTR adapter.
3. Connect the 1734-AENTR adapter to the controller with the
recommended RJ45 Ethernet cable.
4. Wire the sensor cable to the desired location on the IO-Link master (in
this example, we are showing the sensor that is wired to the channel 0).
5. Connect the 871FM sensor to the other end of the sensor cable.
6. After connecting the sensor, you must create/open a project in
Studio 5000 to establish communication with the controller that is
being used. You must also add the 1734-AENTR adapter and
1734-4IOL IO-Link master module to Controller Organizer Tree (see
