Functions
Note
Parameters via PROFINET take precedence
Each time PROFINET communication starts up, the IO-Controller transfers the configura-
tion and parameters to the 765 module. Port configuration parameters that were set by
the I/O Field Webserver, the I/O Field app or the OPC UA client are overwritten. Parame-
ters via PROFINET take precedence.
If you want to (permanently) change port configuration parameters via WAGO Webserver
I/O Field, the WAGO I/O Field app, WAGO IO-Link Configurator or the OPC UC client,
then set them with the IO-Controller's configuration software.

5.5.2 WAGO IO-Link Configurator

5.5.2.1 Possible Operating Modes

WAGO IO-Link Configurator can be used either as a standalone program or integrated
into engineering systems that support TCI. WAGO IO-Link Configurator can also be used
via WAGO-I/O-CHECK.
5.5.2.2 Device Description File (IO Device Description – IODD)
The "IO Device Description" specification can be downloaded from the website of the IO-
Link community at www.io-link.com along with the schema and application examples.

5.5.2.3 IODD Viewer

The IODD is interpreted so as to make operation and monitoring as easy as possible for
the user. In the area of PLC programming, it is necessary with most programming sys-
tems to have detailed information on the structure and addressing of the parameters,
process data and diagnostics. WAGO IO-Link Configurator provides a convenient view of
the IODD.

5.5.2.4 IODDfinder

IODDfinder makes it easy to find and get IODDs (see section

5.5.2.5 Tool Calling Interface (TCI)

Tool Calling Interface (TCI) is an interface between an engineering system and a device
tool. It makes it possible to invoke configuration, parameterization and diagnostic soft-
ware for field products from within an engineering system, giving the user an integrated
control interface.
For example, with the Simatic STEP 7, TIA13 or TIA14, device tools can be launched
from the hardware configuration by right-clicking them.
TCI only describes the software interface. It does not determine what technology is used
for product integration. This allows tools for adaptation to FDT DTM to be connected just
like tools that interpret EDDs, as well as Web browsers or tools that are specially devel-
oped or adapted for use with TCI.
WAGO IO-Link Configurator is connected directly to the TCI interface, which has the ad-
vantage of avoiding the unnecessary time and effort associated with other integration
