IO-Link Device Description (IODD)

2.3
Each IO-Link Device has a device description file, the so-called IODD (IO Device Description). This contains
data about the manufacturer, article number, functionality, software version etc., which can be easily read out
and further processed by the automation system. Each device, i.e. each sensor, can be uniquely identified
both via the IODD and via an internal device ID. The identification data of the sensor also includes device or
application descriptions that can be freely assigned by the user. The IODD consists of several files: a main
file and optional external language files (both in XML format), as well as image files (in PNG format).

2.4 Off-Line Parametrization

Off-line sensor parameter adjustment via convenient user interfaces in the PC (via USB Master) or via
Wireless App (via Wireless Master). Sensors can be conveniently configured at the desk and installed
without further teach-in.
Even if IO-Link is not implemented in the machine control, sensors can be operated in SIO mode and use
this advantage

2.5 Adjustable switching sensor (AdSS)

Additionally, the sensors described in this manual can be operated as "adjustable switching sensors (AdSS)"
according to the Smart Sensor Profile. When treated as AdSS the sensors-Master communications happens
via a fully standardized command set. Thus operation without IODD file is possible.
