Control SIOL-EI8B digital output using Studio 5000 to actuate a actuator?

I am having some trouble related to this post. I have successfully added a SIOL-EI8B module through Ethernet to a project in Studio 5000. I have the following data:Collected_DataI used EDS file named "SIOL-EI8B_STRIDE_IO-Link_Basic_DIO8_IOL8_AB". My goal is to send an DO to a MVQ201 IFM device to actuate a actuator. The problem I am currently having is I cannot seem to make sense of the output data. I do not know which bit to toggle to send this signal. However, when I manually actuate the actuator, I can see feed back (pictured).INPUT_CHANGING_BITSI am using port X0 to connect to the MVQ201 sensor with the following parameters:Port_x0_characteristicsAny suggestions or advice to better understand the output data structure would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    IOLINK:O.DATA..... your outputs.

    • cameron1234 (Customer)

      Thank you for the response. I do understand this is where the outputs are referenced. I just do not understand the structure (which bits to turn on to actuate). I used the an updated IO config spreadsheet posted in another forum (apparently the manual has some incorrect information). However, when I toggle bytes IOLINK:O.DATA[2] - IOLINK:O.DATA[33], the actuator does not actuate? Is there something I am missing or do not understand? Thank you.

    Confirm the selection in the Configuration Data for Pin/Port Based IO Layout for Digital Channel. This is Byte 0 in the Configuartion Assembly.

    A value of 0: Port-Based

    A value of 1: Pin-Based

    Digital Outputs are accessed via Bytes 0 and 1 in Assembly Instance 111

    If selection is Port-Based mapping: Port X0

    • Pin 4: Byte 0, Bit 0
    • Pin 2: Byte 0, Bit 1

     

    If selection is Pin-Based mapping: Port X0

    • Pin 4: Byte 0, Bit 0
    • Pin 2: Byte 1, Bit 0

    I hope this helps move you forward.

    Thank you for the response. This led me in the right direction. I am able to actuate and get feedback! I really appreciate it!
