Configuration in IO-Link mode
IO-Link sensors from TURCK are defined as individual entries in the GSD-file and can thus be
directly selected for the ports as sensors in IO-Link mode.
Devices of third-party-manufacturers have to be configured as generic sensors (Generic In x
byte/ Generic Out x byte) according to their process data width. The entry to be selected from
the GSD-file has to be
≥
the exact process data width of the device used.
Note
Please find any information about the process data width for devices from third-par-
ty-manufacturers in the documentation included.
