Integration
Parameter server
Switched on
: Data management functions active, parameterization data and identification
data of the IO-Link device are stored redundantly.
Switched off:
Data management functions deactivated, stored data remain stored.
Deleted:
Data management functions deactivated, stored data is deleted.
Enable upload:
Select whether or not an upload of parameter data to the data management of the IO-Link
master port is to be performed.
If the upload is enabled, the master starts a parameter data upload as soon as a device
requests an upload (Upload flag set) or if there is no data stored in the master port
(e.g., after data has been deleted or before the first data upload).
Disable upload:
If the upload is disabled, no data upload will be started.
On an upload request from the IO-Link device, a download is started (if activated) if there
are different parameter sets since no upload may be performed.
Enable download:
Select whether or not a download of parameter data to the IO-Link device is to be
performed.
As soon as the stored parameterization data in the parameter server of the port differs from
the connected IO-Link device and no upload request exists from the IO-Link device, a
download is performed.
Disable download:
If the download is disabled, an upload (if activated) of the parameterization data takes place
independent of the Upload flag of the IO-Link device.
Disable upload and download:
If upload and download are disabled, no exchange of parameterization data takes place.
The IO-Link device then still communicates with the IO-Link port.
Note
After uploading the parameterization data, the vendor ID and device ID of the
connected IO-Link device remain stored until the last data sets are deleted.
Validation takes place upon start-up of the connected IO-Link device. As a result,
only IO-Link devices of the same type can be used for data management.
