Chapter 2 IO-Link Overview
Assign Device Parameters A device that is built for a specific application requires changes to parameter
settings. The device parameters and setting values are contained in the IODD
of the device.
I/O Device Description (IODD) files contain information about the device
identity, parameters, process data, diagnostic data, and communication
properties. These files are required to establish communication with the
sensors via IO-Link.
The IODD consists of multiple data files; the main file and several optional
language files are in XML-format and graphic files are in PNG format
(portable network graphics). These files adhere to the IO-Link open standard,
which means that they can be used with any IO-Link masters.
IODD files are assigned using Studio 5000® and the 1734-4IOL Add-on Profile
(AOP).
