Dear experts, I recently brought PLCNext startKit to prepare my project. I could manage my test project up to profinet config and it seems ok but I am totally stuck for days how to map my IO-LINK ViB sensor values displayed „input data 32 Bytes“ to PLC variable to read out as a IO. so I need some advice from someone who can give hands 
Below is the connection and I’ve got profinet communication, I am able to read out ViB sensor’s others EXCEPT ViB values. This is what I connect them. [ AXC F 2152 PLC ] <-- PN → [ IFM AL1403 IO-LINK Master ] <-- IO-LINK → [ BALLUFF BCM 002 VIB Sensor ] The ViB sensor mapped over Profinet address. each has 4 byte structure including PQI, I made it before with s7-1500. The problem is I have no idea how can I map the vibration value, 32 bytes, 4 bytes each, to my PLC IO variable, I think I missed something… I tried to map all kind of types but no success. Any advice will be highly appreciated not only me but also the others like me. Thanks! [attachment]1.png[/attachment][attachment]2.png[/attachment]
When you click the > at the top of the „Process Data Item“ column, you should see the data type of all the Profinet variables. That will give a hint as to what type of variable you can connect it to, e.g. OctectString[32] can connect to an array of 32 bytes.
Hi adamas, I believe Martin is right. In that case you’ve to create a compatible datatype for the likely 32 Byte array. Please find attached a screenshot which might guide you trough. BR, Frank
