Overview of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT

The CX-ConfiguratorFDT is an FDT frame application for setting, diagnosing, and maintaining field de-
vices.
You can make parameter settings for the IO-Link devices with the CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
Functions of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT
• After you create a network configuration, you can set the IO-Link device parameters and then store
them in the actual IO-Link devices.
• After you create a network configuration, you can load parameter settings from the actual IO-Link
devices.
• You can save the network configuration and IO-Link device settings that you create in a project file.
Network Configuration
You create the network configuration by registering the path to the IO-Link Master Unit, the IO-Link
Master Unit, and the IO-Link devices for ports of the IO-Link Master Unit from your computer (i.e., with
CX-ConfiguratorFDT).
You create the network configuration by placing the following DTMs (device type managers) in the net-
work configuration.
