4.1 IO-Link
4.1.1 General information
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link
capable module (IO-Link master) for operation�
The IO-Link interface enables direct access to the process and diagnostic data
and provides the possibility to set the parameters of the unit during operation�
In addition, communication is possible via a point-to-point connection with a USB
adapter cable�
The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the unit, detailed information about
process data structure, diagnostic information, parameter addresses and the
necessary information about the required IO-Link hardware and software can be
found at www�ifm�com�
4.1.2 Functions only available via IO-Link communication
• Device temperature: The internal temperature of the sensor can be read via the
A-cyclic IO-Link channel�
• Application-specific tag: freely definable text assigned to the unit�
• Function tag: freely definable text describing the device function in the plant�
• Location tag: freely definable text describing the installation location in the
plant�
