When it is operated from an engineering tool (TCI), the topology is passed from the engi-
neering tool to the connected IO-Link device. The structure of the topology starts here
with the CPU, followed by its communication threads with the connected IO-Link masters.
In this case, only IO-Link devices can be added or deleted in WAGO IO-Link Configura-
tor. The definition of the higher-level topology is fixed by the engineering tool and cannot
be modified here. For changes to the topology made in the engineering tool to also take
effect in WAGO IO-Link Configurator, it is necessary to close and restart it.
Note
Drag-and-drop function not available for assigned connections
Since the IO-Link devices are assigned to fixed connections of the IO-Link master, they
cannot be dragged and dropped into the topology, but must rather be dragged onto the
corresponding port of the IO-Link master.
10.2.3.3.5 Device Controls Window
This section shows the master controls, the device control or the project properties con-
trol. Only one control is visible and active at a time. The master controls/device control
can be viewed by selecting the corresponding product in the topology, and the project
properties control by opening it from the menu bar or toolbar.

10.2.3.3.6.1 Project Administration
A project consists of a topology with the IO masters and IO devices of the WAGO I/O
System Field. For the IO masters, information on their identity and network addressing,
as well as the configuration, is saved. For the IO devices, instance data and state infor-
mation on the parameters and the state of the menu – whether expanded or collapsed –
is saved. The data is stored in a project file (XML). In addition, all device descriptions with
all associated files are saved, so all required data can be passed on when a project is
shared. Therefore, the IODDs do not need to be present on the destination computer;
they come with the project automatically. All data is stored together in a project directory.
If WAGO IO-Link Configurator is executed as a standalone program, the user can freely
select the storage location for the projects. If it is invoked via TCI, the project information
is generally stored in a project folder of the engineering tool.

Description
Open empty project
Open existing project
Save project; if the project has already been saved, it
is automatically saved at the last storage location; oth-
erwise, the "Save As" dialog opens.
Save project at a new storage location; the last storage
location with project directories is offered as the default
setting.
