Objects can be read and
written by means of the
object index and subindex.
This requires expert
knowledge and the object
description for the IO-Link
device used.

Yes
IODD can be used by the

Note
Parameters via EtherCAT
®
are always rewritten upon restart
Each time EtherCAT
®
communication starts up, the master transfers the configuration
and parameters to the module. Port configuration parameters that were set by the WAGO
I/O Field Webserver, the WAGO I/O Field app, the WAGO IO-Link Configurator or the
OPC UA client are overwritten.
If you have changed parameters of the port configuration via the WAGO I/O Field Web-
server, the WAGO I/O Field app, the WAGO IO-Link Configurator or the OPC UA Client,
please note that these changes are initially applied by the module, but the EtherCAT
®
master overwrites the port configuration again at the next start-up. If you want to change
parameters of the port configuration, set them in the configuration software of the Ether-
CAT
®
master.
5.5.2 WAGO IO-Link Configurator
The WAGO IO-Link Configurator is an independent commissioning, configuration and
management software program. The software replaces the earlier IO-Link plug-in for
WAGO-I/O-
CHECK
.
The WAGO IO-Link Configurator software is used for configuring and parameterizing IO-
Link devices. It supports a large number of IO-Link masters and IO-Link sensors/actua-
tors. Within the software, you can switch between the IO-Link masters of a node that are
used without having to switch back to WAGO-I/O-
CHECK
. In addition, the handling of
IODD (device description files for IO-Link modules) is more flexible. For example, you can
access the IODD server directly to import IODDs.
