Io-Link Device Setting Automatic Upload/Download Function - Mitsubishi Electric NZ2GF2S-60IOLD8 User Manual

IO-Link device setting automatic upload/download function

This function saves the parameters of IO-Link device connected to each channel in the IO-Link module.
When the IO-Link devices are replaced, this function allows new IO-Link devices to inherit the IO Link device parameters that
have been stored in the old IO-Link devices.
The IO-Link device parameters can be uploaded manually. ( Page 69 Manual uploading)
Precautions
• This function can be used only when the connected IO-Link device supports the data storage function.
• Since IO-Link device parameters vary depending on the IO-Link device, all IO-Link device parameters may not be saved.
Refer to the manual of the IO-Link device used.
• IO-Link device parameters are not uploaded or downloaded automatically when "Device Validation Setting" is not "0: Do not
validate" and the device validation result is unacceptable. For details on device validation, refer to IO-Link device validation
function. ( Page 70 IO-Link device validation function)
Operation mode
This function is enabled only in the following operation modes.
• IO-Link (standard) mode
• IO-Link (sink input) mode
When the operation mode is not the IO-Link mode, IO-Link device parameters stored on the non-volatile
memory of the IO-Link module are cleared.
Automatic uploading
IO-Link device parameters are automatically uploaded from IO-Link devices to the non-volatile memory of the IO-Link module.
Automatic downloading
IO-Link device parameters are automatically downloaded from the non-volatile memory of the IO-Link module to IO-Link
devices.
