IO-Link MasterTroubleshooting

Before contacting Technical Support, you may want to try the following:

  • Open the IO-Link Master web interface and review the following web pages:

    • IO-Link Diagnostics

    • EtherNet/IP Diagnostics

    • Modbus/TCP Diagnostics

  • Reboot the IO-Link Master

  • Verify that you are using the correct types of cables on the correct connectors and that all cables are connected securely.

  • Verify that the network IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are correct and appropriate for the network. Make sure that the IP address programmed into the IO-Link Master matches the unique reserved IP configured address assigned by the system administrator.

    [Note]
    Note

    Remember that the IP address set on the IO-Link Master with the rotary switches override software settings on the Network page or in PortVision DX.

  • If using DHCP, the host system needs to provide the subnet mask. The gateway is optional and is not required for a purely local network..

  • Verify that the Ethernet hub and any other network devices between the system and the IO-Link Master are powered up and operating.

  • If you have a spare IO-Link Master, try replacing the IO-Link Master.

  • Check the IO-Link Master LEDs

    LED NameDescription

    PWR (Power)

    A lit green LED indicates that the IO-Link Master is powered.

    MS (Module Status)

    This LED provides the following information:

    • Off = No module status

    • Flashing green and red = Self-test

    • Flashing green = Standby – not configured

    • Steady green = Operational

    • Flashing red  = Minor recoverable fault

    • Steady red = Major unrecoverable fault

    NET (Network)

    This LED provides the following information:

    • Off  = No IP address

    • Flashing green and red = Self-test

    • Flashing green = An IP address is configured, but no CIP connections are established, and an Exclusive Owner connection has not timed out

    • Steady green = Active EtherNet/IP connection and no EtherNet/IP connection time-outs

    • Flashing red = One or more EtherNet/IP connection time-outs

    • Steady red = Duplicate IP address on network

    Port 1-4

    This LED provides the following information about the IO-Link port.

    • Off: SIO mode - signal is low or disconnected

    • Yellow: SIO mode - signal is high

    • Red: Hardware fault

    • Solid Green: An IO-Link device is connected and communicating

    • Blinking Green: Searching for IO-Link devices

    Port 1-4 DI

    This LED indicates digital input on Pin 2.

    • Off: DI signal is low or disconnected

    • Yellow: DI signal is high

    EIP 1/EIP 2

    The EIP LEDs provide this information:

    • Green lit LED = link

    • Green blinking LED = Activity
