Switched on: data management functions enabled, parameter data and identification data
of the IO-Link device are stored permanently.
Switched off: data management functions disabled, stored parameter data and
identification data of the IO-Link device remain stored.
Deleted: data management functions disabled, stored parameter data and identification
data of the IO-Link device are deleted.
Upload and download locked:
Upload and download are off, no parameter data exchange takes place. Nevertheless, the
IO-Link device communicates with the IO-Link port.
Enable upload:
If only the upload is enabled, the master always starts an upload of the parameter data. In
this case, the upload is independent of the upload flag of the IO-Link device. If no data is
stored in the Master Port, an upload likewise takes place. (e.g. after deleting the data or
before the first data upload)
Enable download:
If only the download is enabled, the master always starts a download of the parameter data.
In this case, the download is likewise independent of the upload flag of the IO-Link device.
If no data is stored in the Master Port, there will be no parameter data exchange.
Nevertheless, the IO-Link device communicates with the IO-Link port.
Enable upload and download:
If the upload and download are enabled, different parameter sets are distinguished
depending on the upload flag of the IO-Link device.
If no parameter data is stored in the IO-Link master port, an initial upload takes place. (e.g.
after deleting the data or before the first data upload)
If the upload flag is set on the IO-Link device, an upload of the parameter data always takes
place.
If no upload flag is set and parameter data has already been stored, a download of the
parameter data always takes place.
Note
After uploading the parameterization data, the vendor ID and device ID of the
connected IO-Link device remain stored until the last data sets are deleted.
Validation takes place upon start-up of the connected IO-Link device. As a result,
only IO-Link devices of the same type can be used for data management.
