IO-Link and ifm TV7105 temperature sensor

reijo.leinonen@metropolia.fi

Hello,
I have AXL E PN IOL8 DI4 M12 6P in PROFINET and I tried to configure ifm TV7105 IO-Link temperature sensor with the PLCnext Engineer 2021.6.
I imported IODD-file and it is visible in COMPONENTS view. However I'm not able to use it inside IO-Link master. I.e. if I tried drag and drop, I got the message "the operation could not be executed".
See attachment for further info.
FYI: I was able to configure the temperature sensor manually via Parameters, i.e. without IODD-file.
Best Regards,

Unfortunately the AXL E PN IOL8 DI4 M12 6P does not support IODD.
From the manual:

Hello Martin,
Thank you for very fast replay. Can you say which IO-link master modules support IODD file configuration? Intention is to use PROFINET or Axioline.

Hi Reijo,
Those I/O modules are not part of the PLCnext Technology family, but I have just got this information from the IO Support guys:

If you use a AXL F BK with an IO-LINK Master you can use our IO-Link configuration tool for IODD configuration.
The tool can not be use with AXL E IOL.
With the IOL MA8 PN DI8 - 1072838, IODDs can also be used. However, with this module works via the Web Page in the IOL device.

If you need more help with these I/O modules, it is worth contacting the technical specialists in your local Phoenix Contact office.
