IOLink

IO-Link connects smart sensors and actuators to automation systems per the Single-drop digital communication interface for small sensors and actuators (SDCI) in IEC 61131-9. The specification covers electrical connections and digital protocols so smart sensors and actuators can interact with automation systems.

Wrong Transmission Timeout / Response Time or analysis mode affects Master/Device decode and report content. For channel-prefix differences, see Settings.

IO-Link Decode Settings
  • Channel: Assign the Logic Analyzer channel for the C/Q signal.
  • Timing Constraints:
    • Transmission Timeout: If IDLE is greater than this value, the next data is decoded as Master. Default: 30 TBIT.
    • Response Time: If IDLE is less than this value and greater than 3 TBIT, the next data is decoded as Device. Default: 10 TBIT.
  • Analysis Mode: Report analysis mode (Overview, Frame, ISDU, Event). Default: Overview.
