The CTEU-EP, CPX-FB36, and CPX-CTEL-LK are Festo products that support the ability to add 3rd party IO-Link devices. These devices can be used to control various types of sensors and actuators, such as RFID readers, light stacks, and other IO-link devices. The application note provides detailed information on how to configure and use these products, including information on how to validate the IO-link devices, how to read diagnostics events, and how to set IO-link parameters.

Introduction. Festo CTEU-EP, CPX-FB36, CPX-CTEL-LK | Manualzz

Introduction

2 Introduction

The CPX-FB36 and CTEU-EP EtherNet/IP busnodes both support the ability to add 3rd party IO-Link devices.

Therefore, additional products such as RFID readers, Light stacks, and any other IO-link devices can be added to

CPX or CTEU with EtherNet/IP.

These features, for supporting IO-Link, are only roughly documented in the standard manuals. This application note is intended to support these additional features. These specifically include; how to validate the IO-link devices, how to read diagnostics events, and how to set IO-link parameters. Details of the various objects required for these functions are documented below.
