3.3 Application as an IO-Link device
3.3.1 General information
The device has an IO-Link communication interface that requires an IO-Link-
capable module (IO-Link master).
The IO-Link interface allows direct access to the process and diagnostic data and
enables setting of the parameters of the unit during operation.
You will find further information about IO-Link and all necessary information about
the required IO-Link hardware and software at:
