Chapter 1
836P Pressure Sensor with IO-Link Overview
What Is IO-Link? The IO-Link technology is an open point-to-point communication standard
and was launched as (IS) IEC 61131-9. IO-Link is now the first globally
standardized technology for sensor and actuator communication with a field
bus system. This technology provides benefits to both OEMs and end users.
IO-Link provides communications-capable sensors to the control level by a
cost-effective point-to-point connection. IO-Link provides a point-to-point
link between the I/O module and sensor that is used for transferring detailed
diagnostics, device identity information, process data, and parameterization.
IO-Link communication is based on a master-slave structure in which the
master controls the interface access to the sensor. The option of using the
intelligence that is integrated into the sensor provides you with new methods
to commission your device. Benefits of IO-Link technology range from
reduced installation time during startup to increased diagnostics over the
lifetime of the machine. Other benefits of IO-Link technology include:
• Reduced inventory and operating costs
• Increased uptime/productivity
• Simplified design, installation, creation, and maintenance
• Enhanced flexibility and scalability
• Detailed diagnostic information for preventive maintenance
Why IO-Link? IO-Link offers a full range of advanced features and functions.
Seamless Integration
• Forward and backward compatible, sensor catalog numbers remain the
same
• No special cables required
• Connectivity options remain the same
• Access IO-Link functionality by simply connecting an IO-Link enabled
device to an IO-Link master
• Analog devices no longer require a dedicated input card

8Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017
Chapter 1 836P Pressure Sensor with IO-Link Overview
Real-time Diagnostics and Trends
• Real-time monitoring of the entire machine down to the sensor level
• Optimized preventive maintenance—identify and correct issues before
failures can occur
• Detect sensor malfunctions/failure
Sensor Health Status
• Real-time monitoring verifies that sensors are operating correctly
• Detect damaged sensors and pinpoint their exact location for quick
troubleshooting through Application Specific Name parameter
Device Profiles and Automatic Device Configuration
• “Golden” device configurations are stored in the IO-Link master
module
• Multiple configurations can be stored in controller to support changes
in machine production, for example tool changes
• Within minutes instead of hours, modify sensor parameters to produce
different finished goods
Descriptive Tags
• Faster programming during initial setup
• More efficient troubleshooting process-data tags are named based on the
information they provide
• Easily monitor sensor data though intuitive tag names
How Does IO-Link Work? IO-Link delivers data over the same standard field cabling used today. By
connecting an IO-Link sensor to an IO-Link master, the field-device data and
diagnostics are accessible. IO-Link allows you to go beyond product detection
on the machine. You can now monitor the health of the machine as it runs.

IMPORTANT The response time of an IO-Link system may not be fast enough for high-
speed applications. In this case, it is possible to monitor or configure the
sensor through IO-Link on pin 4 of the sensors while connecting pin 2 (if the
sensor offers a second output) of the sensor to a standard input card.

Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017 9
836P Pressure Sensor with IO-Link Overview Chapter 1
Transmission Rates
Three communication rates are specified for the IO-Link device:
• COM 1 = 4.8 kBd
• COM 2 = 38.4 kBd
• COM 3 = 230.4 kBd
An IO-Link device typically supports only one of the specified transmissions
rates, while the IO-Link V1.1 specifications requires an IO-Link master to
support all three communication rates.
Transmission Quality
The IO-Link communication system operates at a 24V level. If a transmission
fails, the frame is repeated two more times. If the transmission fails on the
second try, the IO-Link master recognizes a communication failure and signals
it to the controller.
Response Time of the IO-Link System
The device description file (IODD) of the device contains a value for the
minimum cycle time of the device. This value indicates the time intervals at
which the master addresses the device. The value has a large influence on the
response time. In addition, the master has an internal processing time that is
included in the calculation of the system response time.
Devices with different minimum cycle times can be configured on one master.
The response time differs so for these devices. When configuring the master,
you can specify a fixed cycle time (minimum of 3 ms) and the device-specific
minimum cycle time that is stored in the IODD. The master then addresses the
device that is based on this specification. The typical response time for a device
therefore results from the effective cycle time of the device and the typical
internal processing time of the master.
IO-Link Data Types There are four data types available through IO-Link:
Process data →Cyclic data
Value status →Cyclic data
Device data →Acyclic data
Events →Acyclic data

10 Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017
Chapter 1 836P Pressure Sensor with IO-Link Overview
Process Data
The process data of the devices are transmitted cyclically in a data frame in
which the device specifies the size of the process data. Depending on the
device, 0…32 bytes of process data are possible (for each input and output).
The consistency width of the transmission is not fixed and is thus dependent
on the master.
Some devices can support multiple process data modes, which allows for
selection of different cyclic process data themes.
Value Status
The value status indicates whether the process data is valid or invalid. The
value status can be transmitted cyclically with the process data.
Device Data
Device data supports device-specific configurable parameters, identification
data, and diagnostic information. They are exchanged acyclically and at the
request of the IO-Link master. Device data can be written to the device (Write)
and also read from the device (Read).
Events
When an event occurs, the device signals the presence of the event to the
master. The master then reads out the event. Events can be error messages and
warnings/maintenance data. Error messages are transmitted from the device to
the controller via the IO-Link master. The transmission of device parameters
or events occurs independently from the cyclic transmission of process data.
Accessing IO-Link Data Cyclic Data
To exchange the cyclic process data between an IO-Link device and a
controller, the IO-Link data from the IO-Link master is placed on the address
ranges assigned beforehand. The user program on the controller accesses the
process values using these addresses and processes them. The cyclic data
exchange from the controller to the IO-Link device (for example, IO-Link
sensor) is performed in reverse.
Acyclic Data
Acyclic data, such as device parameters or events, are exchanged using a
specified index and subindex range. The controller accesses these using Explicit
Messaging. The use of the index and subindex ranges allows targeted access to
the device data (for example, for reassigning the device or master parameters
during operation).

Rockwell Automation Publication IOLINK-UM001A-EN-P - August 2017 11
836P Pressure Sensor with IO-Link Overview Chapter 1
Start up of the I/O System If the port of the master is set to IO-Link mode, the IO-Link master attempts
to communicate with the connected IO-Link device. To do so, the IO-Link
master sends a defined signal (wake up pulse) and waits for the IO-Link device
to reply.
The IO-Link master initially attempts to communicate at the highest defined
data transmission rate. If unsuccessful, the IO-Link master then attempts to
communicate at the next lower data transmission rate.
If the master receives a reply, the communication begins. Next, it exchanges the
communication parameters. If necessary, parameters that are saved in the
system are transmitted to the device. Then, the cyclic exchange of the process
data and value status begins.
Assign Device Parameters A device that is built for a specific application requires changes to parameter
settings. The device parameters and setting values are contained in the IODD
of the device.
I/O Device Description (IODD) files contain information about the device
identity, parameters, process data, diagnostic data, and communication
properties. These files are required to establish communication with the
sensors via IO-Link.
The IODD consists of multiple data files; the main file and several optional
language files are in XML-format and graphic files are in PNG format
(portable network graphics). These files adhere to the IO-Link open standard,
which means that they can be used with any IO-Link masters.
IODD files are assigned using Studio 5000® and the 1734-4IOL Add-on
Profile (AOP). (1)

836P Pressure Sensor with IO-Link Overview Chapter 1
836P IO-Link Features The 836P pressure switch communicates the following parameters via
IO-Link:
• Teach the sensor setpoints is achieved via the AOP through
Studio 5000®
• Pressure in PSI reduces the need to scale the pressure data on the PLC
and saves commissioning time
• Overpressure event informs you if an over pressure condition is detected
• Locking options are available to lock local settings when operating in
IO-Link mode, and therefore changes made by anyone does not change
the settings of the sensor
Process Data Maps allow the selection of the type of information that is
continuously sent to the PLC as a process data parameter.
•Automatic Device Configuration (ADC): Replacing damaged sensors
is easy. Simply remove the old Allen-Bradley® sensor and connect the
new one—the controller automatically sends the configuration to the
new sensor.
•Application Specific Name (ASN): When a machine has multiple
sensors with the same catalog number, the ASN parameter makes it easy
to identify the sensor during commissioning and the lifetime of the
machine when collecting data. The name resides in the project and the
sensor itself.
•Tag Na ming f or I/O Dat a : Rockwell Automation system solutions
provide tag names that are based on the Allen-Bradley sensor connected.
I/O data is converted, formatted, and named based on the Allen-Bradley
sensor applied. Reduces commissioning time by the OEM and reduces
your troubleshooting time when searching for sensor data. Consistent
naming techniques are used across multiple product families when
compared to standard I/O data naming techniques.
