Address range of the ports
In addition to the assignment of the IO-Link devices to the IO-Link master ports, the default
address ranges of the ports can be changed. The IO-Link master transfers the process
values that it receives from the IO-Link device in these address ranges and makes the
process values available to the higher-level automation system.
To set the address range, select the "Addresses" tab.
