Parameter Server

Upload Flag on
the IO-Link
Device

Enable: data management functions enabled, parameter data and identification data of the
IO-Link device are stored permanently.
Disable: data management functions disabled, stored parameter data and identification
data of the IO-Link device remain stored.
Deleted: data management functions disabled, stored parameter data and identification
data of the IO-Link device are deleted.
Enable upload:
If only the upload is enabled, the master always starts an upload of the parameter data. In
this case, the upload is independent of the upload flag of the IO-Link device. If no data is
stored in the Master Port, an upload likewise takes place. (e.g. after deleting the data or
before the first data upload)
Enable download:
If only the download is enabled, the master always starts a download of the parameter data.
In this case, the download is likewise independent of the upload flag of the IO-Link device.
If no data is stored in the Master Port, however, an upload takes place first. (e.g. after
deleting the data or before the first data upload)
Enable upload and download:
If the upload and download are enabled, different parameter sets are distinguished
depending on the upload flag of the IO-Link device.
If no parameter data is stored in the IO-Link master port, an initial upload takes place. (e.g.
after deleting the data or before the first data upload)
If the upload flag is set on the IO-Link device, an upload of the parameter data always takes
place.
If no upload flag is set and parameter data has already been stored, a download of the
parameter data always takes place.
Note
After the upload of the parameter data, the vendor ID and device ID of the
connected IO-Link device are also still saved until the data records are deleted.
When the connected IO-Link device is started, a validation takes place. Thus, only
an IO-Link device of the same type can be used for the data management.
If an IO-Link device of a different type is to be used, the contents of the parameter
server must be deleted.
The data storage is supported only by IO-Link devices with IO-Link Revision 1.1.
The upload flag is needed to overwrite already saved data in the parameter server with new
parameter data of the same IO-Link device.
To enable the upload flag of an IO-Link device,
the data value 0x05 must be entered in the index 0x02, subindex 0.

"Device Properties" or the "Configuration via Explicit Messages" chapter
under "IO-Link Device Parameterization")
