I am attempting to establish a connection with a Banner Q5X sensor via IO Link on an L82ES processor configured with 5032-8IOLM12DR and Studio 5000 v35. Despite utilizing the IODD file and other troubleshooting methods such as the provided AOI, I am unable to establish a connection. I have verified the device ID to match the imported IODD type. Any assistance with resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to refer to the attached images displaying the IO tree configuration and the error displayed by the sensor. Have you encountered a similar problem before? Thank you for any guidance.
To ensure proper IO link connection to a Logix PLC, the Q5X sensors must have Firmware Rev 3. Models with Rev 1 & 2 may encounter connectivity issues. Check for a sensor beginning with the number "22****" for Rev 3, rather than "19****" for Rev 1 or "21****" for Rev 2.
I encountered a somewhat similar issue a while back. One thing I'd suggest, if you haven't already, is to ensure that the firmware version of your L82ES is compatible with the version of IODD file you're using for your Q5X sensor. Sometimes, even small discrepancies in versions can cause communication problems. Another possible culprit could be the wiring connecting the sensor to the processor; you might want to double check that. It's often the simplest things we overlook that cause the biggest headaches. Also, glancing at your attached images, it's hard to say for sure, but you might want to verify if the device is properly set as 'Input Only'. I hope you find this helpful!
I had a similar issue last year. My first suggestion would be to double-check the firmware version of your 5032-8IOLM12DR. This can be a common overlook as different versions might require different configurations. The next step would be to recheck the IP address and subnet mask of your system and ensure they are in the same range. Lastly, you may want to verify the Input Assembly Instance and Output Assembly Instance – these must correspond with the settings in your Banner Q5X sensor. Hope this helps and let us know if you find a solution.
