Precautions for Correct Use
You cannot use the IODD DTM Configurator to add or delete individually the IODD files with the

Perform the following operations to delete the OMRON IODD files that are already installed.

When you add the IODD files with the same vendor ID, device ID, and IO-Link revision, but
different file version, IODD files with the installed file version are overwritten.

differ from IODD files with the installed file version are deleted.
When you made a mistake and deleted different files, select OMRON IOLink IODD Files Setup
from Control Panel – Programs and Features, right-click the OMRON IOLink IODD Files Set-
up and execute Repair, the deleted files can be recovered.
