Parameter server

Switched off:
Data management functions disabled, saved data are retained.
Delete:
Data management functions disabled, saved data is deleted.
Restore:
Only a download of the parameter data to the IO-Link device is performed.
As soon as the saved parameter data in the port parameter server differs from the that of
the connected IO-Link device a download is performed.
Only exception: The parameter server is empty. Then one upload is performed.
Save/Restore:
An up-/download of the parameter data to the IO-Link device is performed.
As soon as the saved parameter data in the port parameter server differs from the that of
the connected IO-Link device and no upload requests from the
IO-Link device are present, a download is performed.
As soon as a device requests an upload (upload flag set) or if there is no data saved in the
master port (e.g. after data has been deleted or before the first data upload), the master
starts an upload of the parameter data from the device.
Note
After the upload of the parameter data, the vendor ID and device ID of the
connected IO-Link device are also still saved until the data records are deleted.
When the connected IO-Link device is started, a validation takes place. Thus, only
an IO-Link device of the same type can be used for the data management.
