Overview of Function

A function that is used to replace a connected IO-Link device with a new IO-Link device of the same
model without use of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
This function is used to back up the parameter settings from the IO-Link devices to the IO-Link Master
Unit and restore them from the IO-Link Master Unit to the IO-Link devices.
Procedure for Backing Up and Restoring IO-Link Device Parame-
ters
1
Back up the parameter settings of the IO-Link device to the IO-Link Master Unit. (Refer to (a) in
the figure below.)
Set the device parameters of the IO-Link device according to your application and back up the
parameter settings to the IO-Link Master Unit.
For information on how to back up data, refer to 9-14-2 Backing Up IO-Link Device Parameters
on page 9-33.
2
Set the Port
With this setting, when you replace an IO-Link device with another IO-Link device of the same
model, you can restore the parameter settings that you backed up from the IO-Link Master Unit
to the IO-Link device.
3
Replace the IO-Link device. (Refer to (c) in the figure below.)
When you replace the IO-Link device, the IO-Link Master Unit automatically restores the
backed up parameter settings to the new IO-Link device. (Refer to (d) in the figure below.)
Thus, the new IO-Link device operates with the same parameter settings as the old IO-Link de-
vice.
Refer to 9-14-3 Restoring IO-Link Device Parameters on page 9-37 for the restoration proce-
dure.
