Channel XX Views
The channel XX views, where XX represents the channel number, shows the configuration
options available for that channel.
The following channel modes are available:
• XX - IO-Link
• XX - Digital Input
• XX - Digital Input, Timestamp
• XX - Counter
• XX - Digital Output
• XX - Digital Input, Fallback
• XX - Digital Input, Timestamp, Fallback
The channel modes are configured in the Module Definition dialog box, see
on page 45. Not all channel modes can be configured for each channel.
XX - IO-Link
This view is available when the channel is configured as "IO-Link". You can perform certain
tasks only when the project is online.
Use this view to complete the following tasks:
• Enable or disable the channel.
Use this checkbox to disable the channel temporarily to:
- Stop IO-Link communication for safety considerations. For example, when you
change the channel mode from "IO-Link" to "Digital Output".
- Disable Data Storage for the IO-Link port to prevent unexpected Data Storage
Backup/Restore operation. Data Storage is re-enabled on the IO-Link port when the
connection to the device is established again.
• Access the channel diagnostics.
• Access the port-level IO-Link event log.
