That one uses ethernet/ip!
EOAT with IO LINK.
Are you sure?
First, please check you're setup/hardware...
Ethernet/IP but each port can be configured for IO-Link. I've used it with a PLC but not sure if it can be used with a robot.

I have used IFM Ethernet/IP IO-Link masters several times with a Fanuc.
In each case, the robot was configured as the EIP scanner. I had no issues with the setup when I followed the Fanuc EIP setup and operations manual (MAROU91EN02171E).

Were any of the ports configured for IO link? I sometimes would like to directly interface to a pressure switch supporting IO-Link.
All of the ports are able to be configured as IO Link. It just depends on what type of device you plug into the port. I have used them with both standard and IO Link devices.
Ethernet/IP is just the fieldbus used to communicate with the module.

Sorry, let me re-word that question:
If I set up the robot as the ethernet/ip scanner and the IO-Link master as an ethernet/ip adapter AND then configure one of the ports for IO-Link AND then connect a IO-Link pressure switch to that port, can the robot see the pressure reading?
I always use a PLC acting as cell controller and central point for I/O then distribute the information to other devices as needed but it might come in handy for a direct connection.
Yes. You would just map that input as a group input.
Everything will be addressed through rack 89, Ethernet/IP. The start point and number of points will have to be addressed according to the byte map of the device, which can often be found in the IODD.
It's really easy of you've ever setup group I/O on a Fanuc before.
Thanks, good to know if I ever have to do that. I normally would connect the I/O-Link master to a PLC and then filter out the junk and send the reading via group i/o to the robot, but it might be helpful in the future to know I can go direct.
