IO-Link gateway

Hello

We have a project in Codesys where we use ETC_ADS_IoLinkRead and ETC_ADS_IoLinkWrite FB from library EtherCATStack to read and write IO-Link parameters over EtherCAT to the IO-Link matser. Our idea is to try to move our project to ctrlX Core. We want to write IO-Link parameters over EtherCAT to the sensors at start up. Is there any FB for reading and writing IO-Link objects from an EtherCAT IO-Link gateway for ctrlX Core?

Hello,

with the release RM21.03 we will provide PLC funtion blocks for AoE read and AoE write.

  • IL_ECATAoeRead
  • IL_ECATAoeWrite

With these fuction blocks Aoe devices like an IO-Link Master can be accessed indirectly. So you can Read / Write Data from IO Link devices. IO -Link specific functionality has to be implemented within the plc program. Later on we will provide IO function blocks based on this two AoE function blocks for direct IO-Link access.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
