Test Report Overview

The IFM Level Sensor, LR8000 operates properly with the Comtrol IO-Link Master. This report contains the following topics:

• IO-Link Master – IO-Link Diagnostics page

• Configuring IO-Link settings

• LR8000 configuration

• Restoring the LR8000 to factory defaults

• Using the Data Storage feature

• Using the Device Validation feature

IO-Link Master - IO-Link Diagnostics Page

Upon connection to the IO-Link Master, the LR8000 immediately displays in the IO-Link Diagnostics page.


Configuring IO-Link Settings

During IO-Link configuration, the Minimum Cycle Time can be left to the default value, as the IO-Link Master negotiates the required Cycle Time with each sensor.

This example shows configuring a friendly port name. The Data Storage and Device Validation features are discussed later in the report.


After Configuring Port-Friendly Names

The IO-Link Diagnostics page now displays friendly Port Names.


Level Sensor Configuration

You can use the Comtrol IO-Link Master to configure the IO-Link device.

• If an IODD file is loaded, you may want to use the GUI on the top of the IO-Link Device Description – Port page to change parameter settings.

• If an IODD file is not loaded, you can use the ISDU Interface on the bottom of the IO-Link Device Description – Port page

This section discusses the following topics:

• Loading IODD files

• Verifying that the correct IODD file is loaded

• Changing IO-Link device parameters using the GUI

• Resetting to the IO-Link device to factory defaults

• Changing IO-Link device parameters using the ISDU Interface

Loading IODD Files

IODD file packages must be unzipped and the appropriate files located and rezipped or loaded individually. (This is a temporary limitation.)

1. Click Attached Devices | IODD Files.

2. Click the UPDATE button.

3. Select the file set to upload.

4. Click the upload button.


5. Close the pop up message after the files have loaded. If there are files in the IODD file set that are not required by the associated xml file, the IO-Link Master does not load the files, and displays an Ignored Files message.

6. The IODD Files page now displays the IODD files loaded on the IO-Link Master.


7. Optionally, click VIEW to view the .xml file. Optionally, click the hyperlink to view the xml file in your browser.


Verifying that the Correct IODD Files Are Loaded

Use the IO-Link Device Configuration Summary page to verify that the correct IODD files for the attached IO-Link devices have been loaded on the IO-Link Master. The correct file is loaded if an .xml file name displays in the IODD Name field.


Changing Parameters on the Level Sensor with the GUI

1. The LR8000 displays as expected in the PORT page.


2. This shows editing parameters using the GUI.

3. Click SAVE and then REFRESH to verify changes were made.


Changing Parameters Using the ISDU Interface

This shows using the IO-Link ISDU Interface to change configuration parameters.


Click REFRESH to observe that the parameter changes have been executed.

Restore Factory Defaults

Returning the Level Sensor to factory defaults is easy using the IO-Link Device Description Port page.

1. Click the EDIT button and scroll down to the Restore Factory Settings option.


2. This shows that the Restore to Factory command executed.

3. Click CANCEL to exit EDIT mode.

4. Click REFRESH to verify that the parameters have reverted to their original values.


Using the Data Storage Feature

The Data Storage feature can be implemented automatically or manually using Application Base v1.2.4 or higher.

The LR8000 has been configured accordingly before enabling the Automatic Upload Data Storage feature.

• ISDU Index 24 = Level#54 (Default = Blank)

• ISDU Index 73 = 5 (Default = 3)



Automatic Data Storage

The following illustrates how the Automatic Data Storage feature works. In this example, both Automatic Upload and Download are enabled, then several parameters will be changed, the Level Sensor is disconnected and reconnected to illustrate that the originally stored parameters are downloaded back to the Level Sensor.

1. Click Configuration | IO-Link Settings.

2. Click the EDIT button.

3. Click Automatic Upload Enable to On.

4. Click Automatic Download Enable to On.

5. Click the SAVE button. The data storage (sensor configuration) uploads to the IO-Link Master as soon as the SAVE button is clicked.


6. Notice that the IO-Link Diagnostics page displays that Automatic Data Storage Configuration for uploading and downloading is enabled.

7. Reset the Level Sensor to factory defaults.

8. Verify that the settings have been reset.

9. Remove the Level Sensor from the IO-Link Master.

10. Reattach the Level Sensor to the IO-Link Master.


11. Verify that the data storage downloads to the Level Sensor.


Manual Data Storage

The LR8000 has been configured accordingly:

• ISDU Index 24 = Level#54 (Default = Blank)



The following illustrates how Manual Data Storage works.

1. Click Configuration | IO-Link Settings.

2. Click the EDIT button.

3. Click the UPLOAD button under Data Storage Manual Ops.

4. Click CONTINUE.

5. Click Ok to the DONE message.


6. Reset the Level Sensor to factory defaults, as displayed in this illustration.

7. Click Configuration | IO-Link Settings and then the EDIT button.

8. Click the DOWNLOAD button and the CONTINUE button.

9. Click Ok to the DONE message.


10. Observe that the parameters have been downloaded from the IO-Link Master to the Level Sensor.


Using the Device Validation Feature

The LR8000 supports Device Validation, Compatible or Identical.

Incompatible Device Attached to Port

1. In the IO-Link Configuration page, click EDIT, set Device Validation mode to Compatible.

2. Click the GET ATTACHED button.

3. Click SAVE.

4. Remove the LR8000 and connect another IO-Link device (not a LR8000).

5. The IO-Link LED on the IO-Link Master is now flashing red to indicate that an incompatible device is connected to the port. In addition, the IO-Link Diagnostics page displays that an incompatible device is attached to the port.


Compatible Device Attached to Port

Remove the IO-Link device from the IO-Link Master and replace it with the other LR8000, which immediately returns to an active state as displayed in the IO-Link Diagnostics page.

Identical Device Validation

1. In the IO-Link Configuration page, click EDIT, set Device Validation mode to Identical.

2. Click the GET ATTACHED button.

3. Click SAVE.

4. Remove the LR8000 and connect the other LR8000.

5. The IO-Link LED on the IO-Link Master is now flashing red to indicate that the identical device is not connected. In addition, the IO-Link Diagnostics page displays the port status as Inactive and that the Wrong Sensor is displayed in the Last Events field at the bottom of the page.
