Communication / conguration / parametrisation

isconguredusingthehigher-levelcontroller.
As described in chapter “14.1”, an IO-Link control head can also be connected in parallel to the IO-Link port
withtheBürkertCommunicator(Type8920)viatheserviceinterface(Micro-USB)ontheelectronicmodule
(see“Fig.36”onpage82).
To ensure clear communication, IO-Link devices should not be parametrised simultaneously by the higher-
levelcontroller(PLC)viatheIO-LinkmasterandwiththeBürkertCommunicator(viatheserviceinterface).
