IO-Link
Version 1.0/
1.1
This device can be operated with an IO-Link master according to IO-Link version 1.0, and
version 1.1. Version-specific functions such as data storage (version 1.1) are only supported in
combination with a suitable IO-Link master.
Data storage
Each IO-Link master of IO-Link version 1.1 features data storage in which an image of the
IO-Link device configuration can be stored. When a device is replaced, the parameters can be
automatically transmitted to the new device. This guarantees minimal downtimes.
Validation must be switched on in order to use data storage. For information about the
configuration of data storage and validation, please refer to the user's guide of the respective
IO-Link master.
Block
configuration
The device supports block configuration. This allows all the parameters in a data block to be
imported consistently from a controller or a configuration tool.
Resetting to
factory
settings
The device can be reset to the factory default settings by executing the corresponding system
command.
0x82 must be written to Index 2 Subindex 0 for the command.
