3.12.7. Overview of Assembly Interface
The Assembly interface is designed to:
•
Provide access to all Input and Output assemblies.
•
Maximize flexibility for the PLC programmer.
•
Minimize required PLC and IO-Link communication bandwidth.
•
Be as easy to use as possible.
The following diagram illustrates the Assembly instances for a four port IO-Link Master. There is one
Assembly input and output instance assigned to each IO-Link port.
