IO-Link Integration for PROFINET

PROFINET , IO-Link

Description:

It is the purpose of this document to map the IO-Link technology according to IEC 61131-9  into PROFINET in such a manner that the user benefit is maximized through standardization.

From a PROFINET point of view this can be achieved through pursuing the following objectives:
• IO-Link mechanisms should be transformed into PROFINET mechanisms to hide the differences as much as possible ("virtual PROFINET devices");
• "Look & Feel" of the deviations should be harmonized across manufacturer borders through standardization;
• It should be possible to use one of the IO-Link Tools (PDCTs) for several IO-Link Masters from different manufacturers/brands through standardized interfaces to the Masters.

 

Differences between V1.1 and V1.0 of edition 2 of the “IO-Link Integration into PROFINET” are:

  1. New structure of the specification with clear, consequent, and seamless descriptions;
  2. Introduction of a PROFINET life cycle manager covering all phases of operations and use cases (former “dynamic characteristics”);
  3. Improved and comprehensive diagnosis mapping methods;
  4. General adaptation of the new Standardized Master Interface;
  5. Data Storage and automatic tool changer moved to clause “Mapping Application”;
  6. New clause “Standardized methods for IO-Link” under clause “IOL_CALL”:
  7. Clause “Overview of mandatory and optional features” totally remodeled;
  8. New dummy Annexes for IO-Link Safety and IO-Link Wireless
  9. All “Coding of records” summarized in Annex D

 10. Update of GSDML template to show the user view
