4.2   Applications with IO-Link master and LR DEVICE  

(software)

• 

Configure the memory plug via LR DEVICE (software) → 6.6.

• 

Write the data stored on the memory plug → 6.6.1.

• 

Read and edit the data stored on the memory plug → 6.6.2.

4.3  Basic operating conditions

•  Negative switching sensors are not supported�

•  The memory plug cannot be used with IO-Link actuators�

•  IO-Link sensors with COM3 are not supported�

•  The memory plug is intended for saving the data of IO-Link sensors used 

without IO-Link master�

•  Data in the parameter set of the sensor protected by an access code cannot be 

overwritten by the memory plug�

The memory plug saves / writes data after the following operations�

•  After application of the supply voltage�

•  After interrupting and restoring the connection between the memory  

plug and the sensor�

After saving the parameters all sensor signals are linked through without 

being changed� The output function of the sensor, its quality and speed 

remain unchanged� An integrated memory plug does not influence the 

complete system�

Recommended operating mode: 

Operation in the [Write protected] mode is recommended� This 

mode ensures that a parameter set saved in the memory plug is not 

unintentionally overwritten� In the [Read/Write] mode the memory plug is 

not write-protected!

The manufacturer of an IO-Link sensor is responsible for providing all 

parameters necessary for an exchange� The memory plug reads this 

information from the sensor and saves exactly these parameters�

The memory plug cannot be used in a system with IO-Link master� The 

functionality of the system cannot be guaranteed�
