8.3 Operation via IO-Link
The device can exchange process data and parameters (also: ISDU, service data) via
IO-Link. To do this, connect the device to a suitable IO-Link Master.
The IO-Link interface of the device has the following properties:
Table 7: Properties of the IO-Link interface
IO-Link specification V 1.1
Minimum cycle time 10ms
Transmission rate COM3 (230.4kBd)
Process data width 32-byte outgoing (from device to master)
32-byte incoming (from master to device)
Process data type INT
Parameter data storage in the IO-Link master Available
IO-Link is an international and manufacturer-independent standardized communication
technology for communicating with sensors (devices) such as sensors and actuators in
an industrial environment (IEC 61131-9).
The IO-Link devices communicate with the superior control systems using an IO-Link
master.
