Preparing IODD files to upload
Some IODD zip files contain the xml files and supporting image files for a single product.
This type of zip file may be directly uploaded to the IOL MA8 PN DI8.
Some IODD zip files contain the files for multiple products.
1. Unzip the package and locate the xml file needed for the IO-Link device.
2. Open the xml file and search for the product ID that identifies the IO-Link device.
3. Zip the xml file along with the supporting images. There are several ways to locate the
supporting images:
– Locate the appropriate images using the xml file.
– Load only the xml file and the IOL MA8 PN DI8 notifies which files are missing. Use the
“UPDATE” feature to upload the missing images.
– Zip the xml with all of the images and the IOL MA8 PN DI8 ignores (and does not
upload) any unused files and notifies which files did not upload.
Image files are not required for IO-Link device configuration.
