6.2.6 IO-Link
General information
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link-
capable module (IO-Link master) for operation.
The IO-Link interface enables direct access to the process and diagnostic data
and provides the possibility to set the parameters of the unit during operation. In
addition communication is possible via a point-to-point connection with a USB
adapter cable.
Further information about IO-Link is available at www.ifm.com/gb/io-link.
Device-specific information
You will find the IODDs necessary for the configuration of the IO-Link unit and
detailed information about process data structure, diagnostic information and

6.2.7 Simulation functions
Various levels and errors can be simulated for set-up, maintenance or interference
restriction. The duration of the simulation can be selected (1 min...1 h). The
simulation can be started manually and runs until it is stopped manually or the
set time elapses. During the simulation the outputs respond according to the
simulated process values
