This section lists the functions of IO-Link modules.
IO-Link master functions
Input function
Output function
Item Description Reference
IO-Link cyclic transmission function Communicates process data periodically with the IO-Link device
connected to each channel.
Page 64 IO-Link cyclic
transmission function
IO-Link transient communication function Reads/writes parameters at any timing from/to the IO-Link device
connected to each channel.
Page 66 IO-Link transient
communication function
IO-Link device setting automatic upload/
download function
Saves the parameters of the IO-Link device connected to each channel
in the IO-Link module, and as necessary, overwrites the parameters of
the IO-Link devices.

automatic upload/download
function
IO-Link device validation function Validates compatibility and identity of the IO-Link device connected to
each channel.
Page 70 IO-Link device validation
function
Disconnection detection function Detects disconnection if communication with an IO-Link device is lost in
IO-Link mode.
Page 73 Disconnection detection
function
Input data masking function Calculates ON/OFF values in IO-Link (standard) mode according to the
input process data.
Page 74 Input data masking
function
Swap function Swaps the upper and lower bytes of data sent and received between
the IO-Link module and the IO-Link device connected to each channel.
Page 76 Swap function
Bit segment function Segments input process data using the bit count set for each channel. Page 78 Bit segment function
IO-Link communication retry count integration
function
Counts the number of IO-Link communication retries for each channel Page 81 IO-Link communication
retry count integration function
Item Description Reference
Input OFF delay function This function turns off an X signal after a predetermined time passed
from when an actual input becomes off from on.
Page 83 Input OFF delay function
Input response time setting function This function prevents an incorrect input due to noise by setting the
response time until the module recognizes an actual input as the X
signal.
Page 85 Input response time
setting function
Item Description Reference
Number of output ON times integration function The number of ON times of each output point is counted within the
range of 0 to 2147483647.
Page 87 Number of output ON
times integration function
Output ON/OFF information hold function This function checks if the output has been turned once on or off. Page 88 Output ON/OFF
information hold function
