VR10 / VR15 with IO-Link Interface
Construction & Design is subject to change (A1743-OPM-IL / Rev.002)
6 COMMISSIONING
Notes:
1. The method of IO-Link device installation strongly depends on the configuration software. Please refer to the
configuration software manual of your IO-Link master.
2. IO-Link master configuration software should support importing IODD files and support setting IO-Link
device parameters visually and graphically.
3. For those IO-Link masters which cannot import IODD files or cannot parameterize valve island visually or
graphically, alternative portable USB IO-Link master e.g. TMGTE IO-Link Device Tool can be used in conjunction
with respective software for IODD files and visual & graphical setting, or consult NORGREN directly.
4. All examples in this document are made with Siemens IO-Link master ET 200eco PN with PROFINET interface /
Port Class B and the configuration software SIMATIC S7-PCT Version 3.5 SP1.
5. All examples in this document are made with Siemens PLC S7-1212C and TIA Portal V15.1.
6.1 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION ON IO-LINK MASTER
As for the method of hardware configuration on Siemens IO-Link master ET 200eco PN in TIA
Portal V15.1 and SIMATIC S7-PCT V3.5 SP1, please refer to the following operation manual:

6.2 IODD FILE INSTALLATION
A device description file (known as IODD) is needed for configuration of valve island. The IODD
files are XML based files, contains all information about the communication properties, the device
parameters, identification data, process data and diagnostics data, etc. of the valve island. It can
be used for all variants VR10 / VR15:
§ “Norgren-VR1X-IL-COM2-JJJJMMDD-IODDy.z.xml”
§ “Norgren-VR1X-IL-COM3-JJJJMMDD-IODDy.z.xml”
Notes:
1. “JJJJMMDD” (JJJJ-year, MM-month, DD-day) is date of release, “y.z” is version number.
2. COM2 & COM3 are baud rates, COM2=38.4 kbps, COM3=230.4 kbps. Default setting is COM3.
3. The configuration software of IO-Link master manufacturers should support read an IODD file and display all related
parameters of the valve island graphically.
4. Recommend installing the two IODD files and the IO-Link device will be found automatically whatever COM2 or
COM3 is set.
