Reading/writing of parameters
Each IO-Link device has parameters, which can be read or written. The EK9300 does not support this
function. I.e. no parameters can be read or written. The communication of the EK9300 with the IO-Link
device is limited to the process data.
To access parameters of the IO-Link devices, use a Beckhoff controller (e.g. CX8093). Here you can read
the IODD file (IO-Link device description) and read or write the sensor data via the PLC.

From firmware version 8
In order to be able to use the updated firmware version 8, you have to use the corresponding GSDM device
description, from version GSDML-V2.32-beckhoff-EK9300-20170216.XML.
Add the corresponding GSDML DAP for the firmware (FW8.0).
