Transcript:

This video will show you how to set up configuration of an ifm IO link master using the RSLogix5000 PLC software. If not already installed, please use the EDS installation tool found under the tools menu to add the required EDS file.

EDS files for ifm’s IO link masters can be found on the support download section of the ifm website.

To create a new device, right click on the Ethernet icon and select new module. To find the device, you can type ifm in the search area or enter the IO link master part number.

Highlight the device you want to create and click create. Provide a name and the IP address for the IO link master.

Go to module definition and click on the change button. By default, the connection is set as an exclusive owner, meaning that only this PLC can read and write data to this IO link master.

Change the data type from SINT to INT so that the data is displayed as 16 bit values. Then click okay. Click Yes to make the module definition changes.

Click okay to exit the new module menu. You can now see the new IO link master under the IO configuration tree. This concludes this tutorial. Thanks for watching. ifm. close to you.
