dec.
Hex.
Operation mode
0
0x00 IO-Link without validation
Pin 4 is operated in IO-Link mode.
The master does not check if the connected device
matches the configured one.
1
0x01 IO-Link with compatible
device
Pin 4 is operated in IO-Link mode.
The master checks if the Vendor ID and the MSB of
the Device ID (this byte defines the product family)
of the connected device match those of the con-
figured one. If the master detects a mismatch, the
IO-Link communication is established, but there is
no process data exchange. The device remains in
the safe state (Pre-Operate).
Parameters and diagnostic information can be read
and respectively written.
2
0x02 IO-Link with compatible
device
Pin 4 is operated in IO-Link mode.
The master checks if the Vendor ID and the Device
ID of the connected device match those of the con-
figured one. If the Vendor ID matches, but the
Device ID not, then the master tries to write the
Device ID to the device. If the writing is successful,
then the device is a compatible one, process data
exchange is possible. If writing the Device ID is not
successful, then process data exchange is not pos-
sible. The device remains in the safe state (Pre-Op-
erate).
Parameters and diagnostic information can be read
and respectively written.
3
0x03 IO-Link with identical device Pin 4 is operated in IO-Link mode.
The master checks if the device type (Vendor ID
and Device ID) and the serial number of the con-
nected device match the data of the configured
one. If the master detects a mismatch, the IO-Link
communication is established, but there is no pro-
cess data exchange. The device remains in the safe
state (Pre-Operate).
Parameters and diagnostic information can be read
and respectively written.
4
0x04 DI (with parameter access)
Pin 4 is generally operated as simple digital input.
However, an acyclic parameter access from the PLC
or the DTM is possible. The IO-Link master starts
the port in IO-link mode, parameterizes the device
and sets the port back into SIO mode (SI). The port
remains in SIO mode (DI) until a new IO-Link re-
quest is sent from the higher-level control.
Data storage is not supported. Connected devices
have to support the SIO mode (DI).
In case of a parameter access, the IO-Link commu-
nication at the port is started. Switching signals are
interrupted.
8
0x08 DI
Pin 4 is operated as simple digital input. Data stor-
age is not supported.
