Register the 871TM IODD
If you are not able to locate the 871TM in the IO-Link Sensor Library (as
shown in the previous chapter), then you must register the IODD of the
sensor. By default, the IODDs are already located in the Add-on Profile
(AOP), but as new products are released it is necessary to add products to the
library.
The I/O Device Description (IODD) files contain the information that is
related to the sensor, integrated into the system environment. To initialize a
sensor on an IO-Link Master, you must register the IODD of the sensor.
If the IODD file for the sensor cannot be located in the library, it can be
downloaded from
http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx
.
Once the IODD is registered, there is no need to register the IODD again
unless it is manually deleted from the Master Tree.
Registration Procedure
1. Double-click 1734-4IOL in the Controller Organizer Tree.
2. Click the IO-Link tab.
