IO-LINK OVERVIEW
1. IO-Link Overview
IO-Link is an open standard serial communication protocol that allows for the bi-directional exchange of data from IO-Link-supported devices,
such as sensors, that are connected through IO-Link.
Advantages to an IO-Link system include standardized wiring, remote configuration, simple device replacement, advanced diagnostics, and
increased data availability. Because IO-Link is an open standard, the devices can be integrated in almost any fieldbus or automation system.
An IO-Link system consists of an IO-Link master and an IO-Link device such as a sensor, lighting product, IO-Link hub, or actuator.
The functions and parameters of the IO-Link devices are represented in a device description file (IODD). IODD files contain information about
identification, device parameters, process and diagnostic data, communication properties, and other details. The IODD files for Banner IO-link
devices can be downloaded for free on www.bannerengineering.com.
1.1. IO-Link Systems
At least one IO-Link master and one IO-Link device are required for IO-Link communication.
The IO-Link master and IO-Link device are connected using a 3-wire standard unshielded cable. 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, and only one IO-Link device can
be connected to each port.
IO-Link hubs such as Banner's R90C-4B21-KQ or IO-link converters make it possible to integrate devices without an IO-Link output in automation
systems via IO-Link.
Figure 1: IO-Link map
1.2. IO-Link Port/Operating Modes
The operating mode can be configured for any port on the IO-Link master. The following modes can be used:

IO-LINK OVERVIEW
Deactivated
Use deactivated mode for any unused IO-link master ports if a device is not connected.
IO-Link Manual
The IO-Link master only connects IO-Link devices that have a certain vendor ID and device ID (1: IOL_MANUAL).
This mode is also required to for the Backup and Restore or Restore function.
IO-Link Autostart
The IO-Link master connects to every connected IO-Link device (2: IOL_AUTOSTART).
Digital Input
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital input (3: DI_C/Q).
Digital Output
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital output (4: DO_C/Q).
1.3. Combining IO-Link Devices with Different Specifications
Any combination of masters and devices is possible. However, if IO-Link devices of a different IO-Link specification are combined, note that:
• Only IO-Link v1.0 devices can be operated on the IO-Link v1.0 masters
• IO-Link v1.0 and v1.1 devices can be operated on the IO-Link v1.1 masters
IO-Link devices with IO-Link specification V1.0 do not support backup and restore features (data storage).

2.2. Automation Protocols for the DXMR110-8K
The DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master supports the following automation protocols.
EtherNet/IP
By default, EtherNet/IP is enabled. Configure the DXMR110-8K Local Registers as EtherNet/IP input or output registers using the DXM Configuration Software.
A single register can only be set as either an EtherNet/IP input or output register.
EtherNet/IP registers are limited to 228 read registers set as E/IP Originator to DXM and 228 write registers set as DXM to Originator
Modbus TCP/IP
A host system acting as a Modbus master (Client) can access the DXMR110-8K using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet. Standard Modbus TCP port
502 is used by the DXMR110-8K for all Modbus TCP/IP requests.
All internal local registers are available to the host system concurrently with Modbus TCP.
By default, the DXMR110-8K is configured as a Modbus TCP/IP Server.
PROFINET
By default, PROFINET is disabled on the DXMR110-8K. To enable and configure the DXMR110-8K for PROFINET communications, use the DXM Configuration
Software.
The DXMR110-8K uses fixed slot sizes and locations in the Local Registers for the input and output values. Supported module sizes are 64, 128, 256, and 512
bytes, which range from 32 to 256 in the DXMR110-8K's Local Registers.

Figure 2: Overview of the configuration software features
The configuration software creates an XML file that is transferred to the DXM using an Ethernet connection. The DXM can also receive the XML
configuration file from a Web server using an Ethernet connection. This configuration file governs all aspects of the DXM operation. The DXM
Configuration Software allows the user to define parameters for the DXMR110-8K, then saves the configuration in an XML file on the PC.
After the configuration file is saved, upload the XML configuration file to the DXMR110-8K for operation.
IMPORTANT: The DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master comes preloaded with a default configuration XML file. You can download the default XML on the
product page for the DXMR110-8K.
This quick start guide outlines the basic operations to set up a DXMR110-8K using the configuration software. For a more comprehensive expla-
nation of features, refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n 209933).
3.2.2. Configuring the DXMR110-8K Controller
This section will walk you through the method of setting up the DXM Configuration Software and communicating with a connected DXM device.
Version 4 of the DXM Configuration Software supports multiple DXM device models, each of which incorporates different features.
As soon as a DXM model is connected to your computer, the software automatically detects the correct model and loads the appropriate screens.
You may also manually select which model of DXM you are configuring if you intend to create a configuration file without connecting a device.
This ensures that the interface and the configuration file use the correct features.
Not all screens are available for all models. To change to another model of DXM, go to the Select Mode screen and use the drop-down list to
select another model. If the active configuration is incompatible with the selected model, you will be prompted to either proceed and wipe out the
active configuration or cancel the model change and preserve the configuration.

CONTROLLER CONNECTIONS FOR THE DXMR110-8K
4. Controller Connections for the DXMR110-8K
To connect IO-Link devices on machines in industrial environments, an M12 quick-disconnect connection is typically used. The pin assignment
according to IEC 60974-5 is the following:
• Pin 1: 24 V DC
• Pin 2: Switching Digital I/O (PNP only)
• Pin 3: 0 V
• Pin 4: Switching Digital I/O (NPN, PNP, or Push-Pull) and IO-link Communication Line
Figure 1: IO-Link pin assignments
One male M12 connection provides common power and ground to all M12 IO-Link ports. Two100 Mbps Ethernet ports (female) use an M12
D-coded Ethernet connection.
• Modbus/TCP
• EtherNet/IP
• PROFINET
Eight IO-Link controller connections using female M12 connectors.
• Separate IO-Link control and programmability for each connection point
• Configurable SIO mode on Input 1 and Input 2 of each IO-Link port
The DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master has eight Class A ports. Pin 2 on these is an additional discrete IO channel. For specific pinout connections,
see Wiring for the DXMR110-8K on page 6.
For more information on the device registers and port settings of the DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master, refer to the DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master
IO-Link Master Device Register Map (p/n 233478).
4.1. Status Indicators for the DXMR110-8K
The DXMR110-8K 8-Port IO-Link Hub has two LED indicators for pin 2 and pin 4 for each IO-link port to provide indication visibility. There is also
an additional amber LED indicator to indicate power to the IO-link master.

CONTROLLER CONNECTIONS FOR THE DXMR110-8K
The Ethernet connection supports the DXM Configuration Software, Modbus/TCP, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP. ScriptBasic also has access to
Ethernet for custom programming. Use the software to configure the characteristics of the Ethernet connection, including the IP address. Any
parameters not changeable from the menu system are configurable from the configuration software.
4.3. Internal Local Registers (Modbus ID 199)
The main storage elements for the DXMR110-8K are its Local Registers, which can store 4-byte values that result from register mapping, action
rules or ScriptBasic commands.
For more information on the device registers and port settings of the DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master, refer to the DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master
IO-Link Register Map document (p/n 233478).
Local Registers updated from Modbus and Ethernet/IP transactions are restricted to a 16-bit data value to follow the standard Modbus Holding
Register definition.
The Local Registers defined in Action Rules must all be within the same register group. For example, an Action Rule cannot have inputs from an
integer group with the result register defined as a floating point register. To move between integers and floats, use the Register Copy Rule.
Local Registers 12001–12845, and 17001–19000 (Internal Processor Memory, 32-bit, Unsigned)—The Local Registers are the main global
pool of registers. Local Registers are used as basic storage registers and as the common data exchange mechanism. External Modbus device
registers can be read into the Local Registers or written from the Local Registers. The DXMR110-8K, as a Modbus master device or a Modbus
slave device, exchanges data using the Local Registers. Modbus over Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) uses the Local Registers as the accessible
register data.
Local Registers 12846–12850 (Reset, Unsigned)—These Local registers are reserved for use as Reset registers. A time interval can be spec-
ified in the configuration software for the DXM to reset. If the data in the register does not change within the user-specified time interval, the DXM
resets.
Local Registers 12851–12900 and 19001–20000 (Data Flash, Non-volatile, 32-bit, Unsigned)—The top 50 Local Registers are special
non-volatile registers. The registers can store constants or calibration type data that must be maintained when power is turned off. This register
data is stored in a data flash component that has a limited write capability of 100,000 cycles, so these registers should not be used as common
memory registers that change frequently.
Local Registers 13001–17000—These Local Registers are paired together to store a 32-bit IEEE floating point format number in big endian
format. Registers 12001 [31:16], 12002 [15:0] store the first floating point value; registers 12003, 12004 store the second floating point number.
There are a total of 2000 floating point values; they are addressed as two 16-bit pieces to accommodate the Modbus protocol. Use these registers
when reading/writing external devices that require Modbus registers in floating point format. Since Modbus transactions are 16-bits, the protocol
requires two registers to form a 32-bit floating point number.
Virtual Registers—The DXMR110-8K has a small pool of virtual registers that show internal variables of the main processor. Some register
values will be dependent upon the configuration settings of the DXMR110-8K. Do not use Read Rules to move Virtual Local Registers data into
Local Registers. Use the Action Rule > Register Copy function to move Virtual Local Registers into Local Registers space (12001–12850).
Registers Description
12001-12845, 17001-19000 32-bit unsigned integer-based registers
12846-12850 Special function registers (can be reset registers)
12851-12900, 19001-20000 Non-volatile register with limited capability for permanent data storage
13001-17000
32-bit IEEE 754 floating point registers. Floating point values require two Local Registers to store a value. Floating
point Local Registers are referenced on the odd-numbered register addresses: 13001, 13003, and 13005. When
using Action Rules/Read Rules, always reference the odd-numbered register addresses.

4.4. Connecting to Remote IO-Link Devices
Use the DXMR110-8K's IO-link ports for connecting IO-Link devices and digital sensors, lights, and actuators. All ports use a 4-pin M12 female
connector to connect to remote devices. No additional wiring is required if the sensors use compatible wiring.
The basic communications parameters for the IO-Link ports are set in the DXM Configuration Software and are saved in the XML configuration
file. Each port can have unique settings.

CONTROLLER CONNECTIONS FOR THE DXMR110-8K
The DXM Configuration has a special tab for configuring the port settings on the IO-link master. To access go Register Mapping--> IO-link Config-
uration. In this section you can configure the port settings of the IO-link Master.
The operating mode can be configured for any port on the IO-Link master. The following modes can be used:
Deactivated
Use deactivated mode for any unused IO-link master ports if a device is not connected.
IO-Link Manual
The IO-Link master only connects IO-Link devices that have a certain vendor ID and device ID (1: IOL_MANUAL).
This mode is also required to for the Backup and Restore or Restore function.
IO-Link Autostart
The IO-Link master connects to every connected IO-Link device (2: IOL_AUTOSTART).
Digital Input
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital input (3: DI_C/Q).
Digital Output
The IO-Link port functions as a standard digital output (4: DO_C/Q).
For more information on the port settings of the DXMR110-8K IO-Link Master, refer to the IO-Link Master Data Reference Guide.
4.4.1. Replacing an IO-Link Device During Operation (Backup/Restore Mode)
Replacing an IO-Link device during operation is common, and inadvertent changes to device settings can cause operational problems and
down-times. Operating personnel without special knowledge or tools can replace IO-Link devices quickly and without errors.
When the backup function of the IO-Link master is used, the IO-Link master automatically provides the saved parameters to the new device after
replacement. This makes IO-Link device replacement seamless in IO-Link applications. Another common industry term for this function is data
storage mode.
. Backup+Restore Mode
If a port on the IO-Link master is set to Backup+Restore, then the new device added to the IO-Link port takes in the same device configuration as the device
that was just replaced, as the IO-Link master had stored the last configuration change by a backup (3: Type compatible Device V1.1, Backup + Restore).
. Restore
If the port on the IO-Link master port is set to Restore, then the new device takes in the configuration according the settings saved in the master at the time of
the last backup. Because possible configuration changes were not saved in the master, a different behavior from the previous one before the replacement may
occur (4: Type compatible Device V1.1, Restore).
4.5. Configuring Connected Banner IO-Link Devices
(DXMR110-8K)
Banner's IO-Link Configuration Software offers an easy way to configure Banner IO-Link masters and Banner IO-Link devices, offering users
control of master and device configuration.
The easy-to-use software provides a variety of tools and works with the DXM110-8K, DXMR90-4K, R90C-4K-MQ, and R45C-2K-MQ IO-Link
Masters. Configure Banner IO-link Masters and IO-Link devices using the free IO-Link Configuration Software, available for download on the
product page for the DXMR110-8K at: https://www.bannerengineering.com/us/en/products/part.814332.html.
Like the DXM Configuration Software, this software enables you to configure port settings for the DXMR110-8K. It also has the ability to configure
Banner IO-link Devices connected to the DXMR110-8K and to configure the IP address settings of the DXMR110-8k and DXMR90-4K IO-Link
masters.
For instructions on how to use the software to configure IO-link port settings and IO-link devices connected to the IO-link master, use the IO-Link
