10.5 Device exchange with transmission of the current configuration data
NOTE
In order to replace a device that may have failed quickly and without major configura‐
tion effort, it is recommended to implement a device replacement concept.
IO-Link offers the option of automatically backing up the device parameter values as
a preventive measure using the "Backup/Restore" function in the IO-Link master and
thus keeping them available. The same applies after a change parameterization. After
exchanging a failed device with a device with the same device ID (identical type), the
master automatically parameterizes the exchange device.
