IO Link Master - PROFINET
NC-MP-4A4B-12DLA/AL1403
This device is “powered by ifm”. In all electronic interfaces, this device will
appear as AL1403. All firmware and electronic files are provided by ifm.
The user can set the operating mode separately for each IO-Link port.
To set the operating type of pin 4 (US) of an IO-Link port:
‣
Select [Port x] menu (x = 1...8).
> The menu page shows the current settings.
‣
Set the following parameters as required:
9.1.9. IO-Link ports: Set the operating mode Pin 4
pin 4 of the IO-Link-Ports X1 ... X8 supports the following operating modes:
• Disabled: no data transmission to pin 4 (C/Q) of the IO-Link port
• Digital input (DI): binary input signal at pin 4 (C/Q) of the IO-Link port
• Digital output (DO): binary output signal at pin 4 (C/Q) of the IO-Link port
• IO-Link: IO-Link data transfer via pin 4 (C/Q) of the IO-Link port
‣
Save changed values on the device.
*... Parameter only available if [Mode] = [IO-Link]
** ... Parameter only visible if the IO-Link device is connected to the IO-Link port.
