Offline parameter setting

34060
The AL1332 supports the offline parameter setting. In this context, the user creates and stores a
configuration for the IO-Link master and the connected IO-Link devices without being connected to the
AL1332 (OFFLINE mode). The configuration created in this way can be stored as a file (*.lrp) and
loaded to the AL1332 and activated at a later date.
Further information about offline parameter setting: → Operating instructions LR DEVICE
>
Fail-safe values of the IO-Link ports

52521
The AL1332 has no failsafe function for the outputs of the IO-Link ports. If the fieldbus
connection is interrupted, the last used output values are written and marked as invalid.
>
9.1.2 IoT: Configure IP settings

34049
For access to the IO-Link master via the IT infrastructure the user has to set the IP settings of the IoT
port.
To configure the IP settings with DHCP, a DHCP server has to be active in the IT network. If
no DHCP server can be reached in the IT network, an IP address is automatically assigned to
the IoT port with the Zeroconfig protocol (address range: → Factory settings (→ p. 85)).
To configure the IP settings of the IoT interface:

► Select [IoT] menu.
> The menu page shows the current settings.
► Set the following parameters as required:
Name Description Possible values
[DHCP] Activate/deactivate the DHCP client of the [Static IP] IP settings were set by the user
device
[DHCP] IP settings are set by a DHCP
server in the network.
[IP address]* IP address of the IoT port Factory setting: 169.254.X.X
[Subnet mask]* Subnet mask of the Ethernet network Factory setting: 255.255.0.0
[Default gateway IP address]* IP address of the network gateway Factory setting: 0.0.0.0
[MAC address] MAC address of the IoT port The value is firmly set.
* ... can only be edited if parameter [DHCP] = [Static IP]
► Save changed values on the device.
25
>
9.1.3 IoT: Configure security mode

54680
The IoT interface of the IO-Link offers a security mode. It enables secure data transmission via
transport encryption and restriction of the access to IO-Link masters and IO-Link devices via user
authentication.
To configure the security mode:
[Security mode HTTPS] Set the security mode [Disabled] Security mode disabled
[Enabled] Security mode enabled

[Security password] Password
Note: The set password is not displayed.
The security mode only protects the access to the device via the IoT interface.
The user name "administrator" cannot be changed.
The security mode can be enabled without setting the password. During the attempt to write to
the device, LR DEVICE requires to enter and confirm the password.
After entering the password, the user has unrestricted access to IO-Link masters and
connected IO-Link devices. The password will only be requested again if the current LR
DEVICE session is over (e. g. after restarting the LR DEVICE).
To change the set password:
► Sign in with a valid password.
► Enter the new password in the field [Security password].
► Write changes to the device.
> The new password is set.
26
>
9.1.4 IoT: Configuring access rights

34046
The access rights define which instance may read and / or write the parameter data, process data and
event/diagnostic messages.
In order to configure the access rights to the IO-Link master:
[Access Rights] The access rights to the [EtherCAT + IoT]* ▪ EtherCAT and IoT Core have read and
parameter data, process data write access rights to parameters and
and the event/diagnostic process data
messages of the IO-Link master ▪ EtherCAT and IoT Core have read
as well as the connected IO-Link access rights to events/alarms
devices
[EtherCAT + IoT ▪ EtherCAT has read and write access
(read-only)] rights to parameters and process data
▪ EtherCAT has read access rights to
events/alarms
▪ IoT Core only has read access rights to
parameters, process data and
events/alarms
[IoT only] ▪ IoT Core has read and write access
rights to parameters and process data
▪ IoT has read access rights to
events/alarms
▪ EtherCAT has no access rights
* ... Factory setting
If in LR DEVICE and EtherCAT projection software the parameter [Access Rights] is =

[EtherCAT + IoT], the parameter values set in the EtherCAT projection software will always
apply.
If the parameter [Access Rights] in LR DEVICE is = [IoT only], set the parameter [Access
Rights] = [Keep settings] in the EtherCAT projection software.
If the parameter [Access Rigts] in LR DEVICE is = [<Fieldbus> + IoT (read-only)], write access
to the device configuration via LR DEVICE and IoT core services is blocked. To enable write
access again, set the parameter to [<Fieldbus> + IoT] via fieldbus configuration software.
Changes of the parameter [Access Rights] will only be effective after restarting the IO-Link
master (→ Firmware: Reboot the device (→ p. 32)).

rw ... read and write
If in IoT and EtherCAT projection software the parameter [Access Rights] is = [EtherCAT +
IoT], the parameter values set in the EtherCAT projection software will always apply.
If in IoT the parameter [Access Rights] is = [IoT only], set the parameter [Access Rights] =
[Keep settings] in the EtherCAT projection software.
If in LR DEVICE the parameter [Access Rigts] is = [EtherCAT + IoT (read-only)], write access
to the device configuration via LR DEVICE and IoT core services is blocked. To enable write
access again, set the parameter to [EtherCAT + IoT] via fieldbus configuration software.

9.2.6 IoT: Configuring security mode

54683
The access to the IoT interface of the IO-Link master can be protected with a security mode:
../security/securitymode active security mode rw
../security/password Password for authentication (Base64 coded) w

w ... write only
Valid character set for the Base64 coding / decoding of the password: UTF-8
Online tool for coding / decoding: → www.base64encode.org
>
Note: Security mode

54684
The security mode enables restricting access to the IO-Link master and the connected IO-Link devices
from the IT network. In the activated security mode, the following restrictions apply:
• Access only with authentication (password-protected user account)
• Access only via secure https connection (Transport Layer Security - TLS)
The security mode only protects the access to the device via the IoT interface.
The standard value for users is: administrator
The set password cannot be read with getdata.
The current status of the security function can be read with the getidentity service (→ Servicet:
getidentity (→ p. 121)).
For the authentication, the user must additionally provide the POST requests with a valid user name
and password in the field "auth". The user name and the password will be shown as Base64-coded
character strings (→ Example: Request with authentication (→ p. 45)).
The following requests can be done if the security mode is enabled, also without authentication:
• /getidentity
• /deviceinfo/vendor/getdata
• /deviceinfo/productcode/getdata
>
Example: Activate security mode

9.2.22 Using Web Socket

61165
The IoT Core supports communication via WebSocket protocol. With Web Sockets, the user can
establish a full-duplex communication channel via a TCP connection.
WebSockets can be used for the following services:
• subscribe / unsubscribe
Maximum number of WebSocket connections: 8

Fail-safe WebSocket connections (wss://) are not supported.
To transmit notifications via a WebSockets connection:

► Establish the WebSocket connection (e.g. "ws://192.168.0.55:80/websocket")
• Option 1: without parameter "callback”
► make subscribe/unsubscribe request without parameter "callback".
> IoT-Core sends notifications about existing WebSocket connections.
• Option 2. with parameter "callback”
► make subscribe/unsubscribe requests with parameter "callback" ("ws:///myTopic").
> IoT-Core sends notifications about existing WebSocket connections to the topic myTopic.

34217
► To check the validity of the cyclic process data, evaluate the PQI byte (→ Mapping: Port
Qualifier (0xF101) (→ p. 104)).
Even with an interruption of the fieldbus connection the PQI byte indicates that the process
data is valid. This can have unintended impact on the control process.
► Take suitable measures to detect an interruption of the fieldbus connection.
They cyclic process data of the IO-Link-Ports X01...X08 is accessible via the following index groups:
Name (Index) Description Reference
IO-Link inputs (0x6000) Cyclic input data at the IO-Link ports X01...X08 → IO-Link Inputs (0x6000) (→ p. 98)
IO-Link outputs (0x7000) Cyclic output data at the IO-Link ports → IO-Link Outputs (0x7000) (→ p. 98)
X01...X08
In operating mode "Digial Input (DI)" the digital process value of the IO-Link port will be
mapped to the first byte of the input data (sub-index 0x01).
In operating mode "Digial Output (DO)" the digital process value of the IO-Link port will be
mapped to the first byte of the output data (sub-index 0x01).
Valid values:

AoE is suited for interruption-free access to the connected IO-Link devices during the operating time of
the device. Access to the IO-Link master with AoE is not supported.
The function blocks for using AoE are part of the tc2_system.libTwinCAT library.
The following rules apply to the inputs of the ADS function blocks:
Input Description Possible values
PORT ADS communication port = 0x1001 IO-Link port X01

0x1000 + IO-Link port number 0x1002 IO-Link port X02

34193
CoE is suited for acyclic access to the IO-Link master and the connected IO-Link devices. CoE uses
the fieldbus objects "IO-Link acyclic command" (→ IO-Link Acyclic Command (0x3100) (→ p. 97)). A
separate fieldbus object is provided for each IO-Link port.
To have acyclic access to the device via CoE the user can use the following function blocks:
• FB_EcCoESdoRead: read SDO of an EtherCAT slave
• FB_EcCoeSdoWrite: write SDO of an EtherCAT slave
The function blocks for using CoE are part of the Tc2_EtherCAT.library function library.
► Add Tc2_EtherCAT.library function block library to the project
Description of the function blocks: → Help function of TwinCAT

The following rules apply to the inputs of the CoE function blocks:
Input Description Possible values
sNetId AMS net ID of the EtherCAT master to which the IO-Link depends on the project; e.g. 172.16.2.131.2.1
master is connected
nSlaveAddr EtherCAT address of the IO-Link port on the IO-Link 0x1001 IO-Link port X01
master = 0x1002 IO-Link port X02
0x1000 + IO-Link port number ... ...
0x1008 IO-Link port X08
nSubIndex IO-Link subindex of the parameter depends on the device; → IODD

nIndex IO-Link index of the parameter depends on the device; → IODD
>
Principle of the acacylic command processing

34201
General processing of acyclic communication:

1 Write command request
► In the command buffer (0x310n:sub-index 0x01): write required request data.
> Request data is transmitted.
> Command processing is initiated.
> Request channel is locked.
2 Check status
► In the status byte (0x310n:sub-index 0x02): read status information.
▪ If status == 0xFF: command processing is pending, repeat step 2.
▪ If status < 0xFF: command processing is finished, continue with step 3.
3 Read command response
► In the response buffer (0x310n:sub-index 0x03): read response data.
> The request channel is unlocked.
> Next command processing can be initiated.
The AL1332 can only process one CoE request at a time. If during an active request another
CoE request is started, the device answers with an error (SDO abort code: 0x06090030).
