Note
Include files into WAGO IO-Link Configurator only with the import function
WAGO IO-Link Configurator uses a hidden directory as the storage location for the im-
ported IODDs and IOLMs. The IODDs and IOLMs are copied to this directory when im-
ported. This is an internal working directory of WAGO IO-Link Configurator, similar to a
database.
Do not copy any files to the IO-Link directory yourself. Always use the import function or
right-click to delete. This is necessary in order to ensure data consistency. If you would
like to create a collection of IODDs you use independent of WAGO IO-Link Configurator,
store them in working directory of your choice. You can then import the IODDs into
WAGO IO-Link Configurator from there.
Importing IODDs with Different Versions
If updated IODDs are imported with a new date in the file name, the previous versions are
retained. When new WAGO IO-Link devices are added to the project (topology), the most
current IODD is always used. Older versions cannot be loaded except by loading
projects.
To compare an old IODD with a current IODD, e.g., in order to compare old functions with
new functions, delete the current IODD from the device catalog and then import the old
IODD.
For devices that have already been added, the version current at this time applies. When
projects are saved, all associated IODDs are also saved. When they are opened, the lat-
ter are installed if they are not in the database.
Importing a Newer IODD with the Same Date in the File Name
Except during the development phase for WAGO IO-Link devices, this should generally
not occur. The device developer must ensure that different IODDs (for one device) with
the same date are not circulated.
However, in order to still allow this in the development phase, the imported IODD re-
places the previous one. Since, in this case, the consistency of saved data is no longer
ensured, the tool rejects it. A corresponding error message appears.

Note
Matching IODD required
WAGO IO-Link Configurator searches for the matching IODD for exactly one device type
with the vendor ID and device ID. Therefore, the IODDfinder button is grayed out if this in-
formation is not available.
