Hi, I am relatively new to IO link devices and is working on a SMC pressure regulator. The IODD file is nice and easy to config the device but I would like to use the PLC to control this device. (I am using balluff master block)
Here are the questions:
How do you generate tags using the IODD file? I can see some parameters in the text file but have no clues how to use them.
</Variable>
<Variable id="Gain" accessRights="rw" index="66" defaultValue="9">
<Datatype xsi:type="UIntegerT" bitLength="8">
<ValueRange lowerValue="0" upperValue="15" />
</Datatype>
<Name textId="V_N_Gain" />
<Description textId="V_D_Gain" />
</VariableCollection>
<ProcessDataCollection>
<ProcessData id="P_ProcessData">
<ProcessDataIn id="PI_ProcessDataIn" bitLength="16">
<Datatype xsi:type="UIntegerT" bitLength="16" />
<Name textId="PD_IN_PD_IN_data" />
</ProcessDataIn>
<ProcessDataOut id="PI_ProcessDataOut" bitLength="16">
<Datatype xsi:type="UIntegerT" bitLength="16" />
<Name textId="PD_OUT_PD_OUT_data" />
</ProcessDataOut>
</ProcessData>
</ProcessDataCollection>
This device does not come with an AOI which is why I am trying to find a way to read and write to it. Any help would be appreciated !
