In order to be able to use the previously described library functions, they must first
be integrated into the configuration software. The necessary steps are listed in the
following table.

Table 3-1
Step Instruction
1. The library is available on the HTML page from which you downloaded this
document. Save the “90529409_IOLink_Devices_LIB_V55.zip” library to your hard

3.2 Using library blocks

In order to use the library blocks in your user program, proceed as follows:

Table 3-2
Step Instruction
1. Open an already existing STEP 7 V5.5 project.
2. Open the “SIEMENS_Devices_IO_Link” library.

3. Copy the required blocks into your project.

General:
Move FB5001, the FB that corresponds to your device, as well as the
respective UDTs and UDT5000 into your user program. Then add the required
system functions.

Example:
 Siemens AG 2015 All rights reserved

Use the IO-Link device 3RA6400-2AB42.

Use drag & drop to move the following blocks into your S7-300 user program:
 FB5001 “IO_LINK_DEVICE” (called internally by FB 5100)
 FB5100 “IO_LINK_3RAxy”
 UDTs
– 5100 3RAxy (data structure for the “Data” input of FB 5100)
– 5000 ParameterPage0 (among others part of UDT 5100)
– 5101 ParameterPage1_3RAxy (subordinate to UDT 5100)
– 5102 DIAG_3RAxy (subordinate to UDT 5100)
– 5103 PARA_3RAxy (subordinate to UDT 5100)

5. Create organization block 1 (OB1) and open it. Use drag & drop to move the
function block into any network for your IO-Link device.
Note
You can also use the blocks in other, cyclic organization blocks.

6. Enter the data block with the number of the instance data block that you would
like to use. Generate the instance data block if it does not exist.

3. Copy the required blocks into your project.

Example:
Use the IO-Link device 3RA6400-2AB42.
Use drag&drop to move function block IO_LINK_3RAxy into your user program
from folder “Types” and subfolder <CPU type>.
The respective PLC data types as well as the internally called
IO_LINK_DEVICE block are automatically copied into the project.

4. Compile the IO_LINK_3xx block. (Shortcut: Strg+B).

The block is compiled with message “Block was successfully compiled”.
