4 System description
IO-Link is a fieldbus independent communication interface for sensors and actuators. Signals
and energy can be exchanged between any networks, fieldbuses and backplane buses via a
digital, serial point-to-point connection.

Each IO-Link system consists of an IO-Link master and an IO-Link device (e.g. sensor, I/O hub,
valve block). An IO-Link master is provided with at least one IO-Link port (channel). One IO-Link
device can be connected to each port. The system components are interconnected according
to the port specification via unshielded 3-wire or 5-wire standard cables.

The IO-Link technology is described in the “IO-Link Interface and System Specification” and IEC
61131-9. IO-Link-capable devices comply either with specification V1.0 or specification V1.1.

The properties, functions and parameters of the IO-Link device are represented in an electronic
device description (IODD). The IODDs for Turck devices can be downloaded via the Turck Soft-
ware Manager and can also be obtained free of charge from www.turck.com. The IODDs of all
devices have the same structure and contain the following information for system integration:
■■Communication properties
■■Device parameters with value range and default value
■■Identification, process and diagnostic data
■■Device data
■■Text description
■■Picture of the device
■■Logo of the manufacturer
The structure of the IODD is defined by the IO-Link specification and is the same for all IO-Link
devices. The IODD is based on indexes. The communication properties, device parameters,
identification, process, diagnostic and device data are assigned to fixed indexes in the IODD, via
which the parameters can be controlled. Some indexes are further divided by subindexes.

4.1 System features

■■Point-to-point connection (max. cable length: 20 m)

System description 

4.2 System design

At least one IO-Link master and one IO-Link device (e.g. sensors or actuators) are required for
IO-Link communication. IO-Link master and IO-Link device are interconnected via an unshield-
ed 3-wire or 5-wire standard cable. The setting can be carried out with a configuration tool or
via the fieldbus level.
The IO-Link master establishes the connection between IO-Link device and the higher-level
control system. An IO-Link master can have several IO-Link ports. Only one IO-Link device can
be connected to each port.
IO-Link hubs also make it possible to integrate devices without an IO-Link output in automation
systems via IO-Link.
Standard tools and functions are provided for the integration, commissioning and configura-
tion of the IO-Link communication.

4.3 Operating principle
IO-Link is a digital point-to-point connection between an IO-Link master and an IO-Link device.
Process data and other information such as parameters and diagnostic messages are trans-
ferred with a 24 V pulse modulation via a combined switching status and data channel (C/Q).

IO-Link communication is independent of the fieldbus used.

4.4 Functions and operating modes

The operating mode can be set separately at any port of the IO-Link master.

Two operating modes are available for the IO-Link master

■■IO-Link mode: IO-Link communication possible
■■Standard I/O mode (SIO): digital I/O communication
IO-Link communication is implemented via the switching and communication cable (C/Q).

SIO
5 3 L–

Fig. 2: IO-Link communication via C/Q

During initialization the ports of the IO-Link master behave like a normal digital input. The
IO-Link devices are operated in IO-Link mode. A command of the higher-level IO-Link master
establishes IO-Link communication in IO-Link mode. This command is called the “Wake-up
request”.

4.4.1 IO-Link mode

In IO-Link mode communication takes place between an IO-Link master and an IO-Link device.
Communication always starts from the IO-Link master.

Transmission speed between IO-Link master and IO-Link device

Three transmission rates are defined in the IO-Link specification:

■■4.8 kBaud
■■38.4 kBaud
■■230.4 kBaud
Each device supports only one baud rate, an IO-Link master supports all transmission rates. The
transfer time of the cyclical process data is determined by the telegram length as well as the
delay times in the device and the master. With a transmission rate of 38.4 kBaud and a telegram
Commissioning with IO-Link

length of 2 byte the transmission time is typically 2.3 ms.

System description 

Response times

The response time of the IO-Link system provides information on the frequency and speed of
the data transmission between IO-Link master and IO-Link device. This response time depends
on the following factors:
■■Minimum cycle time: Intervals defined in the IODD in which the IO-Link master addresses the
IO-Link device. Different minimum cycle times can be defined for different devices.
■■Internal processing time of the IO-Link master and the IO-Link device

Cyclical and acyclical communication

The data exchanged between IO-Link master and the IO-Link device can be divided into cyclical
process data and acyclical data. Process data and value states are transferred cyclically. Acyclical
data is transferred separately to cyclic process data. Acyclical data includes device data, param-
eter functions and events such as diagnostic information, which is only transferred on request.
The two communication types are independent of each other and do not interact.

Cyclical communication
Process data Value status (port qualifier)
––0…32 bytes of process data possible per device ––The Port Qualifier indicates whether the process
(each input and output) data is valid or not
––Process data size determined by the device

Acylical communication
Device data Events
––Parameters, identification data or diagnostic ––Device indicates event to master:
information Error messages and warnings
––Replacement on request of the IO-Link master ––Master indicates event to device:
––Device data can be written to the device or read e.g. cable break or communication abort
from the device

Combining IO-Link devices with different specifications

Only devices of specification V1.0 can be operated on IO-Link masters of specification V1.0.
Devices of specification V1.0 and V1.1 can be operated on IO-Link masters of specification V1.1.

 Data retention mode

NOTE
Data retention mode is only available for devices complying with the IO-Link specifica-
tion V1.1.

Data retention mode makes it possible to replace IO-Link devices without the need for a
reconfiguration.
The IO-Link master or the IO-Link device save the device parameters set in the previous con-
figuration. In data retention mode the parameter data memories of IO-Link master and IO-Link
device are synchronized.
If data retention mode is activated in the IO-Link master, the master writes the stored device pa-
rameters to the new device after a device is replaced. The application can be restarted without
having to perform a new configuration.

4.4.2 Standard I/O mode (SIO mode)

In standard I/O mode IO-Link devices behave like digital sensors or actuators. In this mode the
devices only send input or output data to the higher-level instance. IO-Link access to the device
is not possible.

Connection 

5 Connection
A Turck IO-Link master is provided with one or several ports for connecting IO-Link devices. The
IO-Link devices are connected via unshielded 3-wire or 5-wire standard cables to the ports of
the IO-Link master. The maximum cable length is 20 m.

The IO-Link specification for IO-Link masters defines two different types of ports with different
power supplies.
■■Port class A: The functions of pins 2 and 5 are manufacturer specific. For example, pin 2 can be
assigned with an additional digital channel.
■■ class B: An additional electrically isolated power supply is provided via pins 2 and 5. Class
Port
B IO-Link ports are suitable for connecting IO-Link devices with a greater power requirement.
A 5-wire standard cable is required to use the additional power supply.
Adapters (ident no. 6629515 and 6629516) are available for connecting Port class B devices to
Port class A masters.

6 Configuring and commissioning

➤➤Set the IO-Link master to IO-Link mode (see device operating instructions).

If the port is set to IO-Link mode, the IO-Link master will try to set up communication with
the IO-Link device. IO-Link communication is established in IO-Link mode through a wake-up
request from the higher-level IO-Link master.
The IO-Link master first tries to establish transmission at the highest data transmission rate
defined. If communication cannot be established, the master automatically tries to use the next
highest data transmission rate to establish communication.

Transmission starts if the master receives a feedback signal from the device. The communica-
tion parameters are exchanged first of all. If necessary, the IO-Link master transfers parameters
saved in the system to the device. The cyclical exchange of process data and value status is then
started.

IO-Link devices can be started up via a Turck IO-Link master on different controller types. In
PROFINET systems this requires the GSDML file of the IO-Link master. The GSDML files of the
Turck devices are available for download at www.turck.com.

8 Operation
The communication system operates with a 24 V signal. If a transmission is not successful, the
telegram is automatically repeated twice. If the second repeat attempt is not successful, the IO-
Link master detects a communication abort. The error is automatically reported to the higher-
level controller.

IO-Link devices can be set for the specific application or operated without any special settings.
If no settings are required in the IO-Link device, the signals are forwarded directly to the higher
control level.
