8.2 Acyclic Process Parameters and System Commands
For the operation of the gripping module, several acyclic process parameters can be set and queried. These
process parameters include identification, configuration and diagnostic data as well as system commands.
These data are addressed via index (8 or 16 bit value) and subindex (8 bit value). Some of the parameters are
specified by the IO-Link standard, while other parameters are device- or manufacturer-specific or . All param-
eters are defined in the IO-Link Device Description (IODD) file.
The acyclic process parameters can be set and read out during configuration using a suitable configuration
software. This configuration software is available from the manufacturer of your IO-Link master or fieldbus
coupler. Changing parameters and issuing system commands during system operation is possible on many
PLCs with pre-defined function blocks (e.g. function block IO_LINK_CALL from Siemens). For more infor-
mation, please contact the manufacturer of your IO-Link master, your PLC or your fieldbus coupler.
Acyclic process data are not stored permanently in the gripping module. They must be re-configured
on the gripping module with each restart. For this purpose, common IO-Link masters offer the op-
tion of storing an image of the acyclic process data in the master and transferring it automatically
when the gripping module is started. For more information, please refer to the documentation of
your IO-Link master.
8.2.1 Standardized Acyclic Process Parameters
Table 11 lists the acyclic process parameters defined in the IO-Link standard that are supported by the grip-
ping module. More detailed information on the meaning and use of the individual parameters can be found
in the IO-Link system description

, which can be obtained from the IO-Link community.
