This video will instruct you on setting up the IP address of ifm’s IO link masters using the LR device software. First, connect the master to a PC using an ethernet cable and supply the master with 24 volt power.
If you are working with an Ethernet IP master, make sure the IP address of the PC is in the same domain as the IO link master.
By default, the Masters IP address is set to 192.168.1.250. You can change the PC's IP address in the network and sharing center. Click on the change adapter settings. Right click on the Ethernet Port Connection and then Click Properties.
Highlight the Internet protocol version four and click on the properties button. Select the use following IP address and then type into the IP field.
The IP is in the same domain as the default for the IO link master and that the last octet does not match. Download the LR device software from the ifm website. The free software allows parameterization of the IO link master.
Another option is to purchase the license for the full software that will allow you to control the settings of sensors attached to the masters.
This will be covered in a future video. The LR device software interface runs in any standards compliant web browser. After launching, click the first icon in the upper right read device.
This will scan your network for IO link Masters and list all that are found. Once scanned, the IP addresses of the IO link masters appear in the left hand column.
Double click the address of the Master to access the device's parameters. Enter the new address in the IP address field and click the write device icon in the upper right to load the new IP address onto the master.
The software will alert you that the master must be power cycled for the change to take effect. After power, cycling and scanning, the master will display the new IP address.
By default, the ProfiNET version of the IO link masters are set to DHCP so the Mac address will be displayed after scanning.
The same procedure can be used. Keep in mind that a unique name for the device will be needed to identify the master in the PLC.

This video is a guide through the functions and features of ifm’s IO link master display. This device was developed to provide simple plug and play access to view sensor data without the need for additional software.
The master display will only operate in conjunction with ifm’s IO link masters and sensors. The master display can be connected to any available IO link port.
In our example, we have the following sensors connected. Port 1: the O5D150 laser distance sensor. Port 2: the TD2833 Temperature sensor port 3: The KI5082 capacitive sensor; in port 4 the SBN246 Flow monitor and in Port 6, the E30443 master display.
After boot up, it takes approximately one minute for the master display to initialize communication.
Once boot up is complete, the favorites page is displayed automatically showing up to four sensor values and the IP address of the field bus port. The favorites page can be configured through the menu option FAV.
Changes can be made by pressing the enter button, selecting the favorite line to change and holding either the up or down arrow buttons.
Only connected IO link sensors are shown and selectable. A short description of the process value is displayed below. You can adjust each line based on your preference. The favorite page can display up to four values. In addition, each port can be individually displayed to view the sensor data. The master display can also be used to set the field bus IP address.
This feature was added so operators can set the IP address without the need of a laptop or additional software. Select the M.CFG menu and scroll down to the F.CFG menu. In this menu you can set the IP, subnet mask, and Gateway address if needed.
To set the IP, highlight IP and press enter. Use the enter button to select the octet and up and down arrows to change the numbers.
If a change was made to the IP address, scroll down until you see the save configuration screen. Hold the up or down arrows and press the enter button to save the IP address. This will reboot the IO link master.
Under the D.CFG menu, you can set the display background to white or black. Rotate the display and set the display brightness.
This concludes the master display demonstration. ifm. close to you.
This video will illustrate the process of updating the firmware of ifm’s IO link masters. Firmware updates can be found on the ifm website in the downloads section under support in the top menu.
Select IO Link Setup, Guide and software. Then IO link master firmware. Please check the ifm site often for updates. For this video we will download the firmware for the Ethernet IP.
IO link master and update the version to 2.1. .28. Download and unzip the file to the directory of your choice. If you are using the AL 13 series data line IO click master, please use the IoT port as your Ethernet connection for all other masters of the field bus,
Ethernet ports can be used. Open a browser and enter the IP address of the IO link master followed by a slash web slash update.
Click the Browse button. Select the .bin file from the downloaded firmware files and click to open. Click the submit button to begin the update. You will be prompted to restart the IO link master.
After restart, the browser will display the link master home screen in the lower portion of the page. The updated firmware version can be verified. This concludes this tutorial.
