Hi,

I was trying to add the Sick MLG2 - Pro to the B&R Hardware catalog. Maybe I am doing this wrong or maybe I am missing something. Within the IO Link Download on their website, the zip contains images, pdfs and an XML file? What am I missing here.

How can I add the light sensor via IO Link?

Hi.  
With the installation of AS you should get an Application called IODD DTM Configurator.  
Open this one and select “Import IODD…”  
Select the \*.xml from the unzipped download and the IODD should be added to your Hardware catalog.  
Tried it via this download and it worked seamlessly for me:
