Configuration
When planning Profibus devices, a device is depicted as a modular system with a header
module and several data modules. The screenshots shown here have been taken from the
configuration software of the Siemens HW config.
GSDML file
The device data required for project planning is saved in GSDML files (

anguage). The GSDML files are available in two languages as an
Internet download (www.balluff.com). The data modules of an IO-Link block are depicted in
the project planning software according to the slot.
The GSDML file makes the possible data modules available (input or output of different
data ranges). For configuration of the IO-Link blocks, the corresponding data modules are
assigned to a slot.
Integration of the
module
The device can be found by searching in the catalog and inserted in the Profinet section by
drag & drop.
The module BNIPNT508005E002 with the submodules PN-IO, port 1-M12, port 2-M12 are
used for Profinet communication.
In X1 PN-IO, functions such as prioritized run-up or the domains for the ring topology can be
selected.
In slot 0 the port function (input, output, diagnostics input) or diagnostics messages can be
defined.
The remaining slots (1-8) preallocated in the default configuration are the placeholders for
the IO-Link modules or standard I/O modules. Slot 1 is for the first IO-Link port / standard
I/O port slot 8 for the last.
If IO-Link communication is planned for a given port, the standard I/O module must be
deleted and replaced with an IO-Link module, e.g., IOL_E_2 bytes.
