Fig. 55: IODD Finder, selection and import of the .xml file
◦ After clicking the download symbol, the .xml file of the selected IO-Link sensor/device is imported
and stored in the following folder:
- for TwinCAT 2.x: \TwinCAT\IO\IOLink
- for TwinCAT 3.x: \TwinCAT\3.X\Config\IO\IOLink
◦ When moving the mouse pointer over the IO-Link sensor/device, a green icon now indicates (see
the following figure (3)) that the .xml file already exists.

◦ The imported device descriptions are listed in a tree structure in the Catalog field of the IO-Link
tab, sorted by vendor.
• Online configuration: once the IO-Link device has been connected, it is automatically detected and
created with the corresponding parameters by pressing the Scan devices button.
If several devices are stored in the IODD file, the first entry is always selected here. Grouping in the
IODD is usually carried out by the vendor if the process data are the same and there are only
mechanical differences (e.g. other material).
• Offline configuration: The Catalog field shows the IO-Link device catalog, which lists the already
imported device descriptions in a tree structure, sorted by vendor. The IO-Link device can be selected
via drag & drop or by right-clicking on the product with "Add to Port n".
