You can use the IO-Link Master Library for EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP for detailed configuration information or IOLM 8-EIP-L web page help system.

You can use the following procedure to access the port configuration web pages.

There are three port configuration pages:

The IOLM 8-EIP-L works out of the box for ControlLogix PLCs.

IO-Link Settings

  1. If necessary, open your browser and enter the IP address of the IOLM 8-EIP-L. The default IP address is: 192.168.1.250.

  2. Click Configuration | IO-LINK Settings.

  3. Click the EDIT button for the port that you want to configure.

  4. Make appropriate selections for the IO-Link device that you will connect to that port. You can use the help system if you require definitions or values for the options.

    You can leave the Minimum Cycle Time set to the default value and the IOLM 8-EIP-L negotiates with the IO-Link device for its minimum cycle time. The IO-Link Diagnostics page displays the Actual Cycle Time, which is the negotiated cycle time.

    [Note]
    Note

    Return to this page after configuring the IO-Link devices to implement these features: Data Storage (Automatic or Manual), Device Validation Mode, and Data Validation Mode.

  5. Click the SAVE button.

  6. Repeat for each port that requires configuration changes.

EtherNet/IP Settings

  1. If necessary, open your browser and enter the IP address of the IOLM 8-EIP-L. The default IP address is: 192.168.1.250.

  2. Click Configuration and ETHERNET/IP SETTINGS.

  3. Click the EDIT button for the port that you want to configure.

  4. Make appropriate selections for the IO-Link device that you will connect to that port. You can use the help system if you require definitions or values for the options.

  5. Scroll to the top of the page and click the SAVE button.

  6. Make sure that the port now displays the EDIT button.

    If it displays the SAVE and CANCEL buttons, that means that one of the parameters contains an incorrect value. If necessary, scroll down the page, make the needed corrections, and click SAVE.
