Open the IO link configuration tool

Requirement: an IO-Link master has been added in the Solution Explorer under the "I/O" entry.

1. Double-click on the IO-Link master.

A device editor for the IO-Link master opens.

2. Click on the "IO-Link" tab.

The IO-Link configuration tool opens. The configuration tool contains two fields:

„Ports“
The left-hand field "Ports" shows a list of the ports of the IO-Link master. If a device has been assigned to a port, the device designation is shown next to the port.
„Catalog“
The right-hand field "Catalog" shows the device catalog.
The device catalog contains an alphabetically sorted list of the IO-Link devices for which a device description (IODD) exists in the local TwinCAT installation.
The IODDs for the EPIxxxx, ERIxxxx IO-Link Box modules from Beckhoff can be downloaded via the Download finder. The downloaded zip file contains the IODD device description files for the Beckhoff EPIxxxx, ERIxxxx IO-Link Box modules.
