IO-Link Device Integration
Levels
There are three levels of IO-Link device integration. Each level offers a different
user experience.
•IODD Advanced
This integration level is available for Rockwell Automation® and partner
IO-Link devices, and is heavily dependent on a well-formed IODD file
being registered with the Studio 5000 software.
IODD Advanced integration provides the ability to:
– configure the IO-Link device and its parameters from the Add-on
Profile
– store the device configuration in the controller (and the IO-Link
Master module) and have the configuration automatically downloaded
by the IO-Link Master module or controller after power cycle or
replacement of IO-Link Master or device (also known as Automatic
Device Configuration or ADC)
– perform correlation checks of configuration parameters between
connected IO-Link devices and the controller, with the ability to take
corrective action from the Add-on Profile. This check is performed to
sync up the device parameter between IO Link device and Controller.
•IODD Basic
This integration level is available for all IO-Link devices and requires that
an IODD file be registered with the Studio 5000 software.
IODD Basic integration has the following limitations:
– Only the Common tab, which provides general IO-Link device
information from the IODD file, is displayed when offline.
– Additional configuration tabs are available when you are online with
the device through the controller.
– Message instructions to the IO-Link Device Parameter Object must be
used to read and change device parameters. See Configure IO-Link
Device Parameters Using Message Instructions on page 47 for more
information.
– Correlation function and Automatic Device Configuration are not
supported.
• Generic
This level of integration is available for all IO-Link devices and does not
require an IODD file.
Generic integration has the following limitations:
Automatic Device Configuration and correlation checks can
only be performed if the module is set to ADC mode.
Additional configuration tabs are also available when ADC
is enabled. All devices supporting data storage are default
to data storage.
