IO-Link Device Description Files Page

Use the IO-Link Device Description Files page to update (upload) and delete IO-Link Device Description
(IODD) files associated with this IO-Link Master. In addition, you can review the IODD xml file by clicking
the IODD FILENAME in the table after loading the IODD file.
Note: You will need to download the appropriate IODD files from your IO-Link device manufacturer.
Figure 27:
The IO-Link Master provides 15790K of space to store IODD files. The IO-Link Master includes the following
default IODD files, which cannot be deleted.
 IODD-StandardDefinitions1.0.1.xml
 IODD-StandardUnitDefinitions1.0.1.xml
 IODD-StandardDefinitions1.1.xml
 IODD-StandardUnitDefinitions1.1.xml

Preparing IODD Files to Upload

After downloading the IODD files for the IO-Link device from the IO-Link sensor or actuator manufacturer,
you may need to unzip the file and locate the appropriate xml file for the device.
 Some IODD zip files contain the xml files and supporting image files for a single product. This
type of zip file can be immediately loaded onto the IO-Link Master.
 Some IODD zip files contain the files for multiple products. If you upload this type of IODD zip
file, the IO-Link Master loads the first xml file and the associated image files, which may or may
not correspond to the IO- Link device connected to the port. If you need to zip the appropriate
files, the following information may be useful:
 Unzip the package and locate the xml file needed for your IO-Link device.
 Open the xml file and search for the productID, which identifies the IO-Link device.
