IO-Link Device Inhibiting

IO-Link Device Electronic
Keying
Automatic Device
Configuration
You can suspend data exchange between the controller and individual IO-Link devices by
inhibiting the device.
While the device is inhibited, you can still retrieve parameter values and change the
configuration by using the Module Properties window or explicit messaging.
When you inhibit the device, you can do the following:
• Perform maintenance of the device without faults being reported to the controller.
• Change the device configuration in both Fallback and non-Fallback channels.
• Troubleshoot configuration issues. See
To inhibit the device connection, see
The Electronic Keying feature for IO-Link devices automatically compares the expected device
to the physical device before connection is established. You can use Electronic Keying to help
prevent connection to a device that does not match the type and revision expected.
For each device, the selected keying option determines if, and how, an Electronic Keying
check is performed.
The two keying options that are available are:
• Compatible Module (default)
• Disable Keying
Compatible Module is the default setting. The IO-Link master module checks the following
keying attributes:
• IO-Link Vendor ID
• IO-Link Device ID
• IO-Link Revision
You can use an IO-Link device with the same keying attributes to replace an existing device. If
any attributes do not match, a keying fault occurs.
Disable Keying indicates that the keying attributes are not considered when attempting to
communicate with a IO-Link device. Other attributes, such as process data size, are
considered and must be acceptable before the IO-Link connection is established. With
Disabled Keying, the IO-Link connection can occur with a device other than the type specified
in the I/O configuration tree with unpredictable results.
WARNING: Be extremely cautious when using Disable Keying; if used incorrectly,
this option can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic
loss.
We strongly recommend that you do not use Disable Keying.
If you use Disable Keying, you must take full responsibility for understanding
whether the device being used can fulfill the functional requirements of the
application.
Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) provides an automated download of an IO-Link device
configuration from the controller to the IO-Link device when the controller opens the device
connection.
You can use ADC to help simplify device replacement, or to clone your device configuration
across multiple systems with the same physical setup easily.
Whenever a connection is established, the IO-Link device configuration that is saved in the
controller is set to the device. This device configuration is accessible from the Module
Properties window in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application or device configuration tag.
