Connecting to a PC –
Sensor Studio
The
Sensor Studio
configuration software – in combination with an IO-Link USB master – provides a
graphical user interface for the operation, configuration and diagnosis of sensors with IO-Link configuration
interface (IO-Link devices), independent of the selected process interface.
Each IO-Link device is described by a corresponding IO Device Description (IODD file). After importing the
IODD file into the configuration software, the IO-Link device connected to the IO-Link USB master can be
operated, configured and checked – conveniently and in multiple languages. An IO-Link device that is not
connected to the PC can be configured offline.
Configurations can be saved and reopened as projects for transferring back to the IO-Link device at a later
time.
The
Sensor Studio
configuration software is designed according to the FDT/DTM concept:
• Make individual configuration settings for the light curtain in the Device Type Manager (DTM).
• The individual DTM configurations of a project can be called up via the frame application of the Field
Device Tool (FDT).
• Communication DTM: IO-Link USB master
• Device DTM: IO-Link device/IODD for CML 700i
Procedure for the installation of the software and hardware:
Install the
Sensor Studio
configuration software on the PC.
Install the driver for the IO-Link USB master on the PC.
Connect the IO-Link USB master to the PC.
Connect the CML 700i (IO-Link device) to the IO-Link USB master.
Install IO-Link device DTM with IODD file for CML 700i in the
Sensor Studio
FDT frame.
