13.3.1.2 Message Communication Funciton
AS04SIL-A receives messages (non-cyclic) from ISPSoft, sends the data to IO-Link devices and sends back the response
from IO-Link devices to AS04SIL-A.
Non-cyclic data, including device parameters and events, uses specific index and sub-index for searching. AS04SIL-A uses
explicit message to read and write these data. It is very useful to use index or sub-index in reading and writing data.
You can select the data or parameter type to read or write as the setting image shown below. For example, during
operation you can change and adjust device parameters, such as threshold settings, execution tuning, and ON-delay time
from a program as well as check the internal status, such as the operating time of devices.
13.3.1.3 Communication Mode Setting
You can select one operating mode among the modes of Inactive, SIO (Digital Output, Digital Input) and IO-Link for
each communication port on the following software page.
A mixture of IO-Link communication and digital I/O can apply to the same AS04SIL-A module.
13.3.1.4 Digital Input and Digital Output Function (SIO)
CQ1-CQ4 of AS04SIL-A can be used independently as the standard input or output. The DI/DO types of PNP and NPN
are supported and can be set up separately on the IO-Link page.
