Test Report Overview The Carlo Gavazzi A/S IBS04SF15M5IO Inductive Proximity Sensor operates properly with the Comtrol IO-Link Master. This report contains the following topics:

IO-Link Master – IO-Link Diagnostics page

Configuring IO-Link settings

Setting up passwords

Configuring the sensor with the IODD file

Changing sensor parameters with the ISDU Interface

Resetting the sensor back to factory defaults

Using the Data Storage feature (automatic and manual)

Using the Device Validation feature

The sensor was tested using the IO-Link Master DR-8-EIP (DIN rail IP20 model) with the illustrated image and application versions. The IO-Link Master firmware is field upgradable.


This report does not illustrate all Comtrol IO-Link Master features, such as: EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP configuration, uploading the latest software, or network configuration.

IO-Link Master - IO-Link Diagnostics Page Upon connection to the IO-Link Master, the IBS04SF15M5IO immediately displays in the IO-Link Diagnostics page without any configuration.


Configuring IO-Link Settings There is no configuration required to getting the IO-Link device operating. It is not even necessary to configure the Minimum Cycle Time, as the IO-Link Master negotiates the required Cycle Time with each IO-Link device. If you are attaching a digital IO device, you must select the appropriate Port Mode (Digital-In or Digital-Out).

This example shows configuring friendly port names and implementing Automatic Data Storage. The Device Validation and Manual Data Storage features are discussed later in the report.

Automatic upload occurs when the Automatic Upload Enable option is set to On and one of these conditions exists:

There is no upload data stored on the gateway and the IO-Link device is connected to the port.

The IO-Link device has the DS upload bit on; generally because you have changed the configuration through Teach buttons or the IO-Link Master web interface.

The report illustrates how data is uploaded to the IO-Link Master when the IO-Link device is connected. After using the web interface to change parameters; you can reset the IO-Link device to factory defaults and then download the data storage back to the device.


You can refresh the IO-Link Master to view that Automatic Data Storage was implemented or view the IO-Link Diagnostics page as is illustrated in the next subsection.


After Configuring Port-Friendly Names and Implementing Automatic Data Storage Upload The IO-Link Diagnostics page now displays the friendly Port Name and shows that Automatic Upload data storage has been implemented.


Setting Up Passwords The IO-Link Master ships from the factory without passwords and administrative permissions are granted. You can use the Advanced | Accounts page to set up passwords for the IO-Link Master. Admin, Operator, and User permissions are defined in the help system on the Accounts page.


IBS04SF15M5IO Configuration You can use the Comtrol IO-Link Master to configure the IO-Link device. When an IODD file is loaded on the IO-Link Master, you can use the GUI on the top of the IO-Link Device – Port page to change parameter settings. If an IODD file is not loaded, you can use the ISDU Interface on the bottom of the IO-Link Device – Port page
