Register the 871FM IODD
If you are not able to locate the 871FM in the IO-Link Sensor Library (as
), then you must register the IODD of the sensor. By
default, the IODDs are already located in the AOP, but as new products are
released it is necessary to add products to the library.
The I/O Device Description (IODD) files contain the information that is
related to the sensor, integrated into the system environment. To initialize a
sensor on an IO-Link Master, you must register the IODD of the sensor.
If the IODD file for the sensor cannot be located in the library, it can be
downloaded from
http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/
. Once the
IODD is registered, there is no need to register the IODD again unless it is
deleted from the Master Tree manually.
Registration Procedure
1. Double-click 1734-4IOL in the Controller Organizer Tree.
