3 IMPORTANT HINTS
3.1 GROUNDING AND EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING
Proper grounding and equipotential bonding are very important to protect against electromagnetic
interferences in IO-Link networks. In order to reduce potential impact, should the valve island be
connected to the earth potential of the system or control cabinet via the earth connection on the
control module.
For proper grounding please use the terminal for earth screw (M4) on the upper side of the valve
island. For easy reference see item 4 in chapter 4. The cross-section of the used grounding cable
should be at least 0.75mm2.
3.2 USING AN IO-LINK MASTER
It is recommended to use an IO-Link master with port Class B to control VR10 / VR15 IO-Link
valve islands. The signal wire and valve power supply wire can be connected via this 5-wire
unshielded cable.

5.2 MAPPING RULES FOR 12
<
VALVE STATIONS
£
24
§ If 12 < valve stations ≤ 24, special rules are required since only 1 solenoid number is
allocated to valve station with single solenoid:
• Sequence all solenoids following the rules below by starting from 1st station which is the
station closest to control module:
o If 1st station is with double solenoids, sequence solenoid A as Sol.01, solenoid B as
Sol.02, following 2nd station solenoid A as Sol.03, solenoid B as Sol.04……
o If 1st station is with single solenoid, sequence solenoid A as Sol.01, following 2nd
station solenoid A as Sol.02, solenoid B as Sol.03……
o If a station is originally configured as blank, always 2 solenoid numbers are allocated.
o The rest of stations should also adhere to the sequence rules above.

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:
§ “Operating Instructions – SIMATIC Distributed I/O ET 200eco PN.pdf”
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/attachments/29999018/et200eco_pn_operating_instructi
ons_en-US_en-US.pdf?download=true
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.

6.3 CONFIGURATION ON PORTS OF IO-LINK MASTER
6.3.1 Submodules Configuration on Ports of IO-Link Master
Before commissioning the valve island, the behaviour must be assigned to ports of IO-Link master.
After the successfully adding the IO-Link master and configuring the network in TIA Portal, a
submodule with at least 10 bytes of IO-Link input data and at least 3 bytes of IO-Link output data
must be assigned to the associated port which the valve island is physically connected to.
The first possible submodule in the following example is: “IO-Link 16I/ 16 O + PQI” and it is carried
out as an example on port 3 of the IO-Link master.

6.3.2 Port Parameters Configuration
After successfully adding the submodule to the associated port, the port parameters need to be
setting properly.
§ Diagnostics parameters setting:
• Ticking “No supply voltage 2L+”: Enabling of diagnostics in the case of missing or
insufficient load voltage 2L+.
• Ticking “Port Diagnosis”: Enabling of the diagnostics for the selected port.
• Ticking “Hardware interrupt (device notification)”: Enabling of hardware interrupts for the
selected port.
§ Port parameters setting:
• Keep “Port configuration without S7-PCT” un-ticked, which allow users to set parameters
and diagnostic features of VR10/ VR15 in S7-PCT. If “Port configuration without S7-PCT”
is ticked, user will not be able to set bespoke parameter and diagnostic features in S7-
PCT, but digital input/output is still communicated.
• Selecting option “IO-Link manual”: Activating parameter setting of the data storage
function for the selected port.
• Vendor ID: Manufacturer ID of connected IO-Link device, 1353 for VR10 / VR15.
• Device ID: Device ID of connected IO-Link device, 1 for COM3, 2 for COM2.
• If willing to execute data storage function, Vendor ID and Device ID must be set properly.
• Inspection / backup level: Enable / disable data storage function of the port.
• Selecting option “Type compatible (V1.1) with Backup & Restore” to enable data storage
function.

6.4 DATA STORAGE FUNCTION
Valve island VR10 / VR15 with IO-Link Interface supports data storage function.
Make sure port parameters options are set as shown below to enable data storage function before
replacing valve island.
Follow the steps to replace valve island:
§ Disconnect valve island from IO-Link master.
§ Connect new valve island (with same configuration) to the same port on IO-Link master.
IO-Link master will copy parameter values from the data memory to the valve island automatically.
Note: Data storage function is with IO-Link version 1.1 or higher.

6.5.2 Open Load Diagnostics Setting
It is possible for VR10 / VR15 valve island to enable / disable the open load diagnostics for each
solenoid. If disabled, no open load diagnostic error appears. Otherwise a status diagnostic and
channel diagnostic with error description appears and SF LED on the IO-Link master change from
green to red colour.
Open load diagnostic is disabled by default.
§ Open “Parameters” tab and configure any solenoid in the parameter catalogue.
§ Select “disable diagnostics / enable diagnostics” options for open load diagnostics function.

§ Solenoid number and valve station mapping relation is shown in Chapter 5.
6.5.3 Fail Safe State Setting
It is possible to define the behaviour of the outputs in case of broken IO-Link communication
between IO-Link master and valve islands. The following two states can be defined by the outputs:
1) Output — Off
2) Output — Hold last value
Caution: if the electronics power and valves power are broken, fail safe state function will not work.
§ Open “Parameters” tab and configure any solenoid in the parameter catalogue.
§ Select “Off / Hold last value” options for fail safe state function.
§ Click “Load” button to write data to the valve island.
§ Solenoid number and valve station mapping relation is shown in Chapter 5.

and short circuit diagnostics for each solenoid. These two diagnostic functions cannot be disabled.
§ In case of over / under voltage, a status diagnostic with error description appears, SF LED
on the IO-Link master change colour from green to red colour and the related VA / VB LEDs
on the valve island change colour from green to red (Overvoltage) / flashing red
(Undervoltage).
§ In case of short circuit, a status diagnostic and channel diagnostic with error description
appears and SF LED on the IO-Link master change from green to red colour.
