Firmware update
The IO-Link master firmware is update capable.
Additional information on firmware updates for the ET 200eco PN is available in the chapter
Online firmware update by means of STEP 7 Manager (Page 80).
Master backup
All relevant IO-Link-device parameters and IO-Link-master parameters are read with the
function block "IO_LINK_MASTER". These an be stored retentively at a central location, for
example, in a data block in the IO controller.
The status of the IO-Link devices and IO-Link ports can be restored with the
"IO_LINK_MASTER" function block.
The parameters of the IO-Link ports and the IO-Link master are assigned with the values
stored in the master backup.
A typical use case is restoring the parameters after the exchange of the IO-Link master.
Note

Identification and maintenance data
The identification and maintenance data (I&M data) is information that is saved as read-only
(I data) or read/write (M data) on the module.
Identification data (I&M0):
Manufacturer information on the module to which you only have
read access and some of which may be printed on the module housing, for example, article
number and serial number.
Maintenance data (I&M1, 2, 3):
Plant dependent information, such as installation location.
The identification data I&M support you in the following tasks:
● Checking the plant configuration
● Locating hardware modifications in a plant
● Correcting errors in a plant
Modules are uniquely identifiable online with the I&M identification data.
In addition, you can read the identification data contained in the IO-Link device as I&M0 via
the associated submodule.
