BNI00HL Parameter Read or Write Via Siemens IOL Device FB

In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of configuring an IO-Link smart light device, specifically the Balluff BNI0085, within our TIA program.

First, we need to ensure that our program is compatible with the specific device model and its byte size definitions. We then import the necessary library and access the configuration options for IO-link devices. From there, we specify the controller settings, family, base blocks, and finally, the IO-link device itself.

Next, we map the data associated with this IO-link device using predefined tags to ensure accurate interpretation by the program. We also configure the device settings and define how the data is mapped and read/written to the device.

We then find the hardware ID number for our port and create a new data block with an array of bytes set to the correct value. With this configuration in place, we save and compile our program and download it to the device.

Finally, we use a watch table to verify that the brightness setting has been successfully applied and make any necessary adjustments to reduce the overall brightness. We review the updated values and confirm that they match our desired outcome. By following these steps, you can ensure seamless integration of your IO-Link smart light device with your TIA program.
