The screenshots shown here have been taken from theconfiguration software of the Siemens HW config.GSDML file The device data required for project planning is saved in GSDML files (Generic StationDescription Markup Language). The GSDML files are available in two languages as anInternet download (www.balluff.com). The data modules of an IO-Link module are depictedin the project planning software according to the slot.The GSDML file makes the possible data modules available (input or output of different dataranges). For configuration of the IO-Link modules, the corresponding data modules areassigned to a slot.Integration of themoduleThe device can be found by searching in the catalog and inserted in the Profinet section bydrag & drop.The BNIPNT502102Z015 module with submodules PN-IO, port 1-M12, port 2-M12 are usedfor Profinet communication.In X1 PN-IO, functions such as prioritized run-up or the domains for the ring topology can beselected.Slot 1 is reserved for the header module; port functions (input, output, diagnostic input,IO-Link) or diagnostic messages can be defined here.The remaining slots preassigned in the default configuration (2-5) are placeholders for theIO-Link modules or standard I/O modules.Slot 2 is for the first IO-Link port / standard I/O port (port 4) and slot 5 for for the last port(port 7). If IO-Link communication is planned for a given port, the standard I/O module mustbe deleted and replaced with an IO-Link module, e.g., IOL_E_2byte.
