at Rockwell's 2023 automation Fair
metler Toledo unveiled the SLP 33 which
is a singlepoint load cell that utilizes
iol Link Technology in this video
segment we will cover how to set up the
load cell using Rockwell's armor block
5000 iol link master in studio 5000
software
[Music]
before we get started we just want to
point out that an iol link Master is
required since this load cell uses iol
Link Technology this will simplify your
total solution but make sure you keep
that in mind when considering this
product for your applications to start
our demonstration we are going to add
the 5032 I link Master into an existing
Studio 5000 project once in the project
you scroll down in the project Explorer
then rightclick on the ethernet module
and select new module this is the same
for adding any remote iio over ethernet
but make sure you do not select the back
plane or chassis when the new window
pops up you can filter by typing in iol
which will limit everything to only
display iol link masters with add-on
profiles in your studio 5000 project
once you find the proper module you
highlight the device and click create
this launches a new window where you
configure the iol link Master start by
giving it a name which we will use _ M
then assign the IP address which is 1
1921
68122 then in the middle of the module
window you can see that there's a module
definition area where you will assign
the mode for each Channel as well as the
configuration of the module we will
select the change button to to open up
the module definition window and
configure each of our ports as well as
the module keying there are some
important things to note within the
module definition the first thing is the
revision and starting with revision
2.011 firmware the Rockwell iol link
Masters have the ability to set up
automatic device configuration or ADC
for short on all iol link sensors yes
all sensors not Rockwell sensors can now
have their IOD files stored in the
controller memory this is one step above
the standard IO link offering as the
parameters and the file are stored in
the controller making their longevity
even better also in the top of the
module definition we have the connection
status which can be changed with a
combination of data event and ethernet
status events and ethernet status just
add additional tags to the iol link
master in the controller tags these are
not necessary but can provide helpful
Diagnostics now you see that a table for
each channel was added to show the
potential Channel configuration for each
point another major feature that's
visible within the module definition is
the class B enablement Class B iol link
protocol is different than Class A and
the fact that it uses earth ground and
then requires the fifth pin this means
when you check the box for class B it
will automatically disable the second
pin on the iol link Port the 5032 block
is set up so that each Port has an iol
Link channel and then a second Channel
which is configurable for a digital
input or digital output extra power was
also added to Ports 2 3 6 and 7 so if
you set that up for class A IO link you
can also configure the second Channel as
an output which will have a 2 amp rating
that is a large improvement over other
ports which limit the current to only
250 milliamp we will then configure all
the ports to show the various
configuration options of iol Link
digital inputs and digital outputs this
will cause several alarms since we do
not actually have any any additional
sensors plugged into our system now we
can select okay and yes to the prompt
stating that we are changing the module
definition and verify that we have
intended to make the change once the
module is created it will appear in our
IO configuration and it appears just
like a remote IO bank with an IO link
symbol showing the p through
Communications to add the sensor you
need to rightclick on the io link shown
under under the master add-on profile
and then select new module or input
module or discover module discover
module only works while online and it
will launch a new window where you will
browse the iol link master and search
for all iol link devices connected to
the master if you select new module it
will launch a new popup for you to
select the iol link device it will
already be populated with all the
current Rockwell devices but if you're
missing a device you will need to run
the updated device description file
installation tool since an IOD file is
basically an EDS file for an iol link
sensor the original EDS tool was
modified to accept both EDS and IOD
files when you need to register the IOD
file it will come in as an XML format
that will be provided by the equipment
manufacturer after you register the IOD
file those devices will now appear in
the module Type window one thing to
knowe it's recommended that you have
closed all Rockwell software prior to
registering new files this is not
absolutely necessary but there have been
times where closing all Rockwell
software registering the file and then
rebooting the computer has cleared up
all the issues with viewing newly
registered devices we are going to add
the metler Toledo iink load cell to our
project so I will simply filter by
unchecking Rockwell and wittenstein the
only option left on my system is metler
Toledo so we will highlight the sensor
and click create from here it will pop
up the new module window that looks
similar to the master we already created
we will give it a name called load cell
one and we can also see the module
definition that shows ADC is enabled by
default even though the keying is set
for compatible module ADC will work and
now we will move to the configuration
window in the configuration window we
can assign some necessary settings such
as the units we type weighing mode and
autozeroing for our demonstration we
will leave units in grams the weighing
type will be gross we will be in normal
weighing mode and auto zero is off these
are all the default configurations but
it is important to understand that
config configurations cannot be modified
while online so please review these
settings when setting up the load cell
the configuration cannot be modified
while online because it requires a
change to the function of the load cell
itself we can always change parameters
while online but the configuration of
the module cannot be modified without a
download now that our config is good we
will select okay and close the result
will be our module added underneath the
master just like an IO card is added
under an ethernet adapter with the
sensor created we then go back to our
iol link sensor and you can see the
offline parameter configuration for the
device each device will have its own
parameter set in different configuration
groups if you want to change the sensor
configuration you can set it all inside
the project and download directly from
the PLC through the master and into the
sensor this is all done without
messaging but if you have something you
want to change programmatically then you
can set up messages also with the master
created and the load cell added you will
now see tags in the controller tags the
actual device tags will show up based on
the name of the module you created for
our example it was load cell one then
the tag we will be looking for is weight
value so once I open up load cell one I
for input we will then open the subtag
called process data in and inside of
that tag will be a tag called weight
value if we wanted to make a change to
the load cell configuration we would not
use the output value but instead we
would doubleclick on the device in the
io tree when the module properties come
up we navigate to the parameters page
and then make the necessary
changes one main reason you would
potentially need to do this is when
setting up the load cell for the first
time and we need to zero it out after
tooling has been added this could be
avoided by changing that configuration
initially but this will be dictated by
your specific system all tags that can
be written to the device will have a w
in the r/w column and all the procedures
for initial setup of the load C can be
found on metler Toledo's website inside
the user manual now we will need to
download this configuration into the PLC
and go online so that we could see live
values I will be using a feral so that
we can view the live weight change
inside the PLC no additional
configuration was necessary for us to
get these values these load cells can
range from 10 kg or about 22 lb up to
500 kg or about 1100 lb along with the
range of weight there are also three
different types of form factor and and
two different
resolutions in our demo we have the
smallest form factor which is rated up
to 20 kg and has a C3 resolution which
is approximately 02 or half pound
accuracy now you have seen how to set up
the 5032 armor block iol link master and
add an iol link load cell this process
is greatly simplified to get lots of
extra data and an incredibly quick in
installation as always thanks for
watching and if you have any questions
please contact your local ESN account
manager or automation specialist
