2 Safety 2.1 Intended use The BNI is an IO-Link Master module for connecting IO-Link devices to the PC. Used together with the supplied PC software, this unit allows you to configure and test IO- Link devices or demonstrate device functions. The PC software may not be used while the system is running in production conditions. 2.2 General safety notes Installation and startup Installation and startup are to be performed only by trained specialists. Any damage resulting from unauthorized manipulation or improper use voids the manufacturer's guarantee and warranty. The device must be powered only using an approved power supply (see Section.2 "Electrical connection ). Only approved cables may be used. Operation and testing The operator is responsible for observing local prevailing safety regulations. When defects and non-clearable faults in the device occur, take it out of service and secure against unauthorized use. Approved use is ensured only when the housing is fully installed. 2. Meaning of the warnings Note! The pictogram used with the word "Caution" warns of a possible hazardous situation affecting the health of persons or equipment damage. Ignoring these warnings can result in injury or equipment damage. Always observe the described measures for preventing this danger. 4
.1 Connection overview 2 1 Fig. -1: 1 IO-Link Port 2 Supply voltage USB Port Connection overview for BNI USB-901-000-A501.2 Electrical connection The module can be operated with or without the included AC adapter. Without the AC adapter the IO-Link Master provides approx. 40 ma at 24 V. This is sufficient for operating IO-Link devices. If more current, including start-up current, is required for the IO-Link device, the AC adapter must be used. Some laptops and notebooks are especially sensitive to start-up currents. When in doubt, always use the AC adapter. Note! If the IO-Link device requires more than 40 ma, the AC adapter must be used! AC adapter 1 2 PIN Signal 1 Supply voltage, +24 V, max. 1.6 A 2 GND, reference potential Connect the supply voltage from the included AC adapter to the module. www.balluff.com 5

.5 Installing software System requirements: Standard PC Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista 10 MB available hard disk space USB port Note! Installation requires administrator rights on the PC. Installation Installation is done using an Installation Wizard which guides you through the individual steps. Note! During the software installation the module may not be connected to the PC. Be sure that the system requirements are met. Insert software CD in the CD drive of the PC. The installation software starts automatically. If the installation does not start automatically, change to the "autorun" directory in the CD and start the application "autorun.exe". The first page of the Installation Wizard is displayed. Select the language for installation, German or English. If you need to install Acrobat Reader, select the corresponding option. Start the installation. The Wizard guides you through the remaining installation steps. After the installation you may connect the to the computer. Note the power supply instructions (see section.2 "Electrical connection ). After first starting up the tool, select the language and refresh the device catalog. Corresponding descriptions are contained in the online Help. User roles and passwords The IO-Link Device Tool supports various user roles. The role may be selected at start. For "Maintenance" and "Specialist" roles, a password must be entered. As a "Specialist" you can set new passwords. Presetting the passwords: Role Operator Maintenance Specialist Password No password maintain special www.balluff.com 7
.6 Working with the IO-Link Device Tool A detailed description of the windows, dialogs and individual menu commands is contained in the convenient online Help. As an aid to using the Point-to-Point Test-Tool between the and the IO-Link device an example follows showing the procedure for connecting the to a model BOD 6M laser distance sensor. Note! Before starting the IO-Link Device Tool the must be correctly connected to the PC and IO-Link device. Changing IO-Link devices is permitted only in offline mode. Starting the application Start the IO-Link Device Tool by double-clicking on the desktop icon. The start screen is displayed. The "User Login window opens. Fig. -2: Start screen showing version information Entering a password Fig. -: Entering a password in the "User Login window To set configurations and test environments, you must log in as a "Specialist". The preset password for the "Specialist" user role is "special". Select "Specialist" option, enter password and confirm with [Login]. The application is started and the main window displayed. 8
The Main window Fig. -4: The main window The menu page is divided into areas: Topology: Assembling the individual hardware components from the "Catalog" area for a test configuration. Center area: Here you can display device data and manipulate them (e.g. process data, parameter data). Catalog: Listing and selecting the existing devices and components. www.balluff.com 9
Selecting USB IO-Link Master Fig. -5: Select IO-Link Master and drag into the "Topology" area. Under "Catalog select the Balluff module. Drag the module into the "Topology" area. The module is displayed in the "Topology" area. Fig. -6: IO-Link Master module in the "Topology area. 10
Opening a data connection Select the IO-Link Master module in the "Topology" area. The data are displayed in the center area of the main window on the "Common" tab. Fig. -7: Device data in the "General" area. To establish the data connection via IO-Link, the interface must be selected: Expand the "Interface" selection field. Select "Balluff IO-Link Master DE. The module is automatically entered in the selection list during software installation. Fig. -8: Selecting the interface. www.balluff.com 11
Selecting the IO- Link device Fig. -9: Selecting the IO-Link device. Select the IO-Link device in the "Catalog" area. Drag the selected device into the "Connected Device" area. The IO-Link device data are available in the information field for further analysis and processing. Fig. -10: IO-Link device in the "Topology" area 12
Access to process and parameter data Select the IO-Link device in the "Topology" area. The process and parameter data are shown on additional tabs where they can be edited. Fig. -11: The device data are displayed. Establishing a connection For communication between the and IO-Link device you must establish a connection. The online connection status is indicated by the flashing "Online" text in the status line. Click on the "Connect" icon. The connection is established.

Displaying the process data Note! Before selecting another IO-Link device, you must switch to offline mode. The process data shown in the following are an example for the laser distance sensor model BOD 6M. Process data such as the following are displayed: Laser status (On/Off) Current length measurement (for "Laser off" the maximum value is displayed) Status of the switch points Fig. -1: The process data of the IO-Link device. Setting parameters On the "Parameters" tab the default values of the IO-Link device are displayed. The values can be changed and the IO-Link device can be updated with the modified parameters. Switch to "Parameters" tab The default values for the switching thresholds are displayed. 14
Fig. -14: Parameter data for the IO-Link device. Example: Change a value for the switching threshold. Clicking on the specific value with the right mouse button in the "Value" column, example for switch point 1. You may enter a new value. Fig. -15: Changing IO-Link device parameters. www.balluff.com 15
Testing settings Your settings can be tested online. Turn on the IO-Link device (Laser BOD 6M): Switch to "Process data" tab Right-click in the "Process value" column on the value for "Laser on". An entry field opens. Enter "1" and confirm. The status of the switch points is updated, the correct distance value is displayed in the "Distance" field. The status of the switch points is displayed ("1" means switching threshold is undershot.) Fig. -16: Testing the IO-Link device settings. By moving the BOD 6M laser sensor the individual switching thresholds (defined in the parameter data) can now be exceeded. When the respective thresholds are exceeded, the switching threshold bit is changed from "1" to "0". 16
