Change port modes using RS Logix (EIP)

Transcript:

This video will guide through the process of changing the port modes of EIP IO link master using the RSlogix5000 software.

Each port of the island master is configurable either as an IO link port to communicate to IO link sensors and devices, or as a standard digital input or output. The island configuration is the default setting for the IO link master.

The port mode can be found under controller tags name of the device see array. Each port of the IO link master is independently controlled with the variable port mode port number.

By default, all ports are set to a value of three for IO link connectivity. To change the mode to digital input, set the value to one to set the port to a digital output.

Change the value to two. The setting of zero will completely deactivate the port. In the IO link mode, the led next to the port will blink green when an IO link connection has been established.

The green led will stop blinking and remain lit. For all other modes, a yellow led will turn on when a digital input or output signal exists.

This concludes the tutorial. Thanks for watching. fim. close to you.
