Is it possible to communicate with an IO-Link master via a Click PLC with Ethernet, either by Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP? I see they make Modbus TCP IO-Link masters so I'm thinking it would just be a matter of reading and writing to the right addresses. Any thoughts on this?

IFM makes modbus IO link masters. i haven't used a modbus master from them yet but am using several Ethernet IP masters with productivity 1000 CPUs
I am looking to use a Murr IO link master on a Productivity 1000. Is there any sample code to get me started on this? Thanks!
P1000, or P1AM? Asking for sample code sounds like you are using a P1AM. Just wanted to clarify so you may get an answer more to what you are looking for.
If you are on a P1000, then you should just be able to import the .EDS file to get it into the hardware config.
What IO link master are you wanting to use? I have used an IFM Ethernet IP IO link master and setup wasn't that bad. If you are wanting to use ethercat of profinet you will need a protocol converter.
