Validation

Parameter server

www.balluff.com
No validation: validation deactivated, every device will be accepted
Compatibility: manufacturer ID and device ID are compared to the module data.
The IO-Link communication is only started if there is a match.
Identity: manufacturer ID and device ID and serial number are compared to the module
data. The IO-Link communication is only started if there is a match.
The following values are possible for the setting of the validation:
0 no validation
1 compatible (VID + DID)
2 identical (VID + DID + serial number)
Switched on: data management functions enabled, parameter data and identification data
of the IO-Link devices are residually saved.
Switched off: data management functions disabled, saved data are retained.
Deleted: data management functions disabled, saved data is deleted.
Enable upload:
Select whether an upload of parameter data to the data management of the IO-Link master
port is to be carried out or not.
If the upload is enabled, the master starts a parameter data upload 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)
Block upload:
If the upload is disabled, no data upload will be started. When there is an upload request
from the IO-Link device, a download (if enabled) is started because no upload may be
carried out if there are different parameter sets.
Enable download:
Select whether a download of parameter data to the IO-Link device is to be carried out or
not. As soon as the saved parameter data in the parameter server of the port is
differentiated from the connected IO-Link device and no upload request from the IO-Link
device is present, a download is carried out.
Block download:
If the download is blocked, an upload (if enabled) of the parameter data occurs
independent of the upload flag of the IO-Link device.
Block upload and download:
If upload and download are blocked, no parameter data exchange occurs.
The IO-Link device then communicates anyway with the IO-Link port.
The following values are possible for the settings:
0x8X Switch on
0x0X Switch off
0x40 Delete
0xX1 Switch on upload
0xX2 Switch on download
Note
After the upload of the parameter data, the vendor ID and device ID of the
connected IO-Link device is also still saved until the data record is 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.
To use an IO-Link device of a different type, the contents of the parameter server
must be deleted.
