Module configuration
Overview
There are two options for configuring the devices:
◼
Download an EDS file from the AutomationDirect.com website or the place of purchase. Then,
import the EDS files into your programming software (see Section 7.1, “Loading the EDS files”
example of how to do this).
Using the EDS file allows you to benefit from the advantages of a preconfigured connection.
◼
Configure the devices using the integrated web server.
NOTE
To transfer index changes via the WebUI and acyclic ISDU writes to the DataStorage, a
ParamDownloadStore command must be sent after the index changes.
➔
The ParamDownloadStore command can be triggered by writing value 0x05 to index 0x02.
Configuration via EDS
.
Once the EDS file has been imported into the Productivity software and configured, per Section
7.1, the
module configuration data can be found in Hardware Config – EtherNet/IP Client Properties -> CONFIG
DATA tab.
In the “Value” column, change configuration parameters by typing in a new value, or selecting from a
drop-down list (see the “IO-Link Port X0 - IO-Link Function Pin 4” parameter example in Fig. 8-1).
