You can register in advance ID information on the IO-Link devices that should connect to the ports of
the IO-Link Master Unit to enable verifying the connections of the IO-Link devices when IO-Link com-
munications start. This lets you reduce commissioning and maintenance work.
 Simple Backup and Restoration of IO-Link Device Parameters
For OMRON’s IO-Link Master Units, you can back up parameter settings of the IO-Link devices in the
IO-Link Master Unit.
When you replace IO-Link devices, you can automatically restore those backup parameters in the new
IO-Link devices.
This eliminates the need for software tools when replacing IO-Link devices.
OMRON's IO-Link Master Units record the total number of lost frames in cyclic communications. You
can use this value to check for the influences of noise and other problems.
For other features, refer to the IO-Link System User’s Manual (Cat. No. W570).
