How to integrate a SIG200 PN into a Siemens PLC

Because of two ways of integration, I will show you how you configure your SIG200 and your PLC.

If you would like to use your SIG200 as IO-Link master without any logic you have to configure your SIG200 as followed.
You have to set the port owner as fieldbus. Otherwise you do not get a connection to the PLC.

You have to configure the PLC like this. In the hardware configuration you have to choose your submodules which you need depending on the size of the process data of the connected sensors.

If you do it like this, the PLC can communicate with the SIG200 like with a normal IO-Link master. You have access to the process data and the service data of the sensor.


If you have a logic in your SIG200 and would like to have some values of it in the PLC, you have to do it like this:
You have to set the port owner to Logic editor and put the IODD of the sensor at this port where it is connected.

In the next step, choose the size of the logic editor inputs and outputs in the SIG200.
In this case I have 128 Byte input and 128 Byte output and it is split in 32 separate values, each of them is 4 Byte.

Then you can make your logic and connect the values, which you need to the PN output labels (4 Byte length).



Now you use the address from the “Logic editor 128I/128O” module. 256-259 is the address of the first “PN input” label in the logic editor.

In this case you have no access to service data from the sensor.
