8 Parameter setting
To set the device parameters an IODD (IO Device Description) is needed.
More information: (→ 4.3)
For many applications the data splitter is ready for operation on delivery
(plug & play).
For connected IO-Link devices that support the automatic output
configuration (e�g� devices to the IO-Link smart sensor profile, switching
type) the data splitter does not need to be configured.
For operation on an IO-Link device that does not support the automatic
output configuration (→ 9.1) or if for example write protection is to be
removed the device must first be configured� To do so, the device has to be
connected according to fig� 8�1�

Connection for parameter setting
1:
Y cable (AA047)
3:
IO-Link master (AD001)
2: data splitter AD008
4:
PC / notebook
During parameter setting no IO-Link device must be connected to the
Y cable (1).
► Connect the data splitter (2) to an IO-Link master (3) via the Y cable (1).
► Connect the IO-Link master (3) to a PC (4).
►
For parameter setting use an IO-Link capable software (
→ AD002).
►
If necessary, download the IODD of the data splitter and integrate it in the
parameter setting tool used�
