IO-Link Device Parameters
Classification

Device Configuration

You can check whether the Data Storage copy in the IO-Link master module is synchronized
with the IO-Link device by checking the Data Storage Match status in the Device Info view of
the device Module Properties window.
IO-Link device parameters are classified into two categories:
• Configuration parameters
For devices that support Data Storage, configuration parameters are read/write
parameters that are defined in the IODD, which are not excluded from Data Storage.
For devices that do not support Data Storage, read/write parameters that are defined in
the IODD are configuration parameters.
• Non-configuration parameters
All parameters that are defined in the IODD that do not match the conditions that are
defined under configuration parameters are non-configuration parameters.
The Configuration view and the Parameters view of the IO-Link device Module Properties
window are used to handle device parameters.
Only configuration parameters are shown in the Configuration view. Configuration parameters
can only be changed in the Configuration view. The Configuration view only shows the project
values of the configuration parameters.
Use the Parameters view to access non-configuration parameters and retrieve device values
of configuration parameters. All parameter values that are shown in the Parameters view are
device values.
You can use the Configuration view to change configurations for the IO-Link device. The
parameters that are shown in the Configuration view are based on the device IODD.
The Configuration view shows the parameter values that are saved in the Studio 5000 Logix
Designer application project. The values that are shown in the Configuration view do not
reflect the actual values of the parameters in the device.
All configuration parameters are stored in the project, but the device may have the set of
configuration parameters that are shown in the Configuration view change based on the
conditional parameters that are defined in the device IODD.
One exception is the parameter that is used to select which set of process data to use. When
the device is on an IO-Link channel (excluding Fallback channels), this parameter is not shown
in the Configuration view because it affects the input/output data tag definitions and can only
be changed through the connection type selection in the Module Definition dialog in offline
mode.
In offline mode, you can use the Configuration view to change the device configuration and
save the values to the project.
In online mode, when you apply the configuration, the configuration is saved to the project and
set to the device.
If a parameter is not listed under any menu in the IO-Link device IODD, the parameter is
ignored and not shown on any view in the IO-Link device Module Properties.
