Balluff BN508-105-z015 In Studio5000 with Add-On Instruction

With Balluff themselves having limited information about the BN508-105-z015 IO-link module, I thought what better time to help than now so I made this video to share the resources that I found.
Please watch to full video to make sure you understand the small details, from my findings of using Balluff, every bit helps.

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Glad to help

Great video, step-by-step is the best way to teach anything. I was following along and the part# cannot be found on the site. Do you have to be a company to register and follow along with the video to obtain the EDS and AOI?

[@ShaneWelcher]

I listed the instructions in the video notes above.

Nice video as always. Question: when creating a generic Ethernet module with a configuration size of 0 there seems to always be a SINT[500] array in the controller tags. Do you know how to avoid this? Sure, 500 bytes isn't much, but it would be nice to know how to get rid of this if I ever needed to add 100 modules for some reason. Thanks for what you do.

[@ShaneWelcher]

With Balluff, it's dependent on their setup from what I read

[@seeigecannon]

With AB though if you create any generic device the SINT[500] would still be there.

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@seeigecannon it's a default data entry, you can change it
