Note: For Configuration and parameterization, use the IO-Link Configurator Tool. Refer to
Section ‘’IO-Link Device Configuration’’ for more details.
Operating mode” parameter
The “Operation mode” parameter defines the function of the respective IO-Link port (C/Q,
L+ and L- connections). The parameter does not influence the function of the additional
digital input (DI connection).
Disabled (default)
The supply voltage at L+ and communication via C/Q are disabled.
DO
The C/Q connection works as a digital output. The length of the process output data for this
IO-Link port is 1 byte.
DI
The C/Q connection works as a digital input. The length of the process input data for this IO-
Link port is 1 byte.
IO-Link
The IO-Link port uses the C/Q connection for IO-Link communication. The length of the
process data is determined by the “Process data IN length” and “Process data OUT length”
parameters.
“Port cycle” parameter
The “Port cycle” parameter defines how the cycle time of the IO-Link port is determined.
Free running (default)
The cycle time of the IO-Link port is automatically set to match the IO-Link device connected.
Fixed cycle
The cycle time of the IO-Link port is set to the value which is defined by the “Port cycle time
(n*0.1 ms)” parameter.
