10.1.2.1
Basic procedure and prerequisites 
Procedure when configuring IO-Link master and IO-Link devices 
Configuration takes place in two steps with STEP 7, V5.4 SP5 or STEP 7 TIA Portal, V12.0 
or higher: 
1.  Configuring the IO-Link master in 
HW Config
. You will find IO-Link master on the Internet 
(http://www.siemens.com/industrymall) under "Automation" > "Industrial communication" 
> "IO-Link" > "Master". 
2.  With the Port Configuraton Tool 
S7-PCT 
, you configure the connected IO-Link devices. 
Note 
An application example facilitates connection of IO
-Link 
devices using a block library, and 
demonstrates the use of the block library using specific examples. You will find 
the 
application example on the Internet 
(
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/90529409). 
Requirements 
●  STEP 7 V5.4 SP5 or higher (you can download Service Pack 5 from the Internet 
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/36184684)) or STEP 7 TIA Portal 
V12.0 or higher. 
●  The Port Configuration Tool 
S7-PCT
is installed on the PG/PC. 
You can either install 
S7-PCT
 together with or STEP 7 or you can download it from the 
Internet (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/37936752). 
●  IO-Link IODD files (IO Device Description) are installed in the 
S7-PCT hardware catalog
. 
You can download all current IODD files for the SIRIUS devices from the Internet 
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/#products?search=IODD&o=DefaultRankingDes
c&lc=en-WW).  
IODD files for V1.0 and V1.1 are available for the combination of an IO-Link master and 
an IO-Link device according to the IO-Link communication specification V1.1. You may 
need IODD files according to the IO-Link communication specification V1.0 when 
replacing devices in existing installations. 
●  The GSD files of the IO-Link masters are already installed in 
STEP 7 HW Config
. You can 
download all current GSD files for the Siemens IO-Link masters from the Internet 
(http://www.siemens.com/comdec). 
●  Optional: Install the IOL_Call function block for backing up/restoring IO-Link master 
parameters, IO-Link device parameters, parameterizing IO-Link devices during operation 
and reading out IO-Link port functions. 
The IOL_Call function block is available on the Internet 
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/82981502).
