3.1.1
Configuration with S7-PCT
Introduction
The following sections describe how you configure your IO-Link master with the S7-Port
Configuration Tool (S7-PCT).
You need S7-PCT to display the system architecture completely and transparently all the
way to the IO-Link device and to configure and parameterize the IO-Link system in detail.
With S7-PCT you can easily configure the IO-Link devices with the help of the IODD (IO-Link
Device Description) supplied by the device manufacturer.
In the S7-PCT online view you can display the diagnostics states and process values of the
IO-Link devices in detail.
Configuration with S7-PCT
When you have selected the option "Configuration with S7-PCT", you are also making the
settings of the IO-Link master ports with S7-PCT.
These settings include:
●
Specification of the address range for each port
●
Behavior when replacing an IO-Link device
●
Setting the identification data for checking the connected IO-Link device type
Start S7-PCT from HW Config in STEP 7.
S7-PCT shows you all Siemens IO-Link masters you have configured in your automation
system.
After selecting an IO-Link master, you can assign its IO-Link ports to the desired IO-Link
devices.
To do so, select the corresponding IO-Link devices (or their IODDs) from the device catalog
and drag them to the port of the IO-Link master.
