IO-Link Device Inhibiting

You can suspend data exchange between the controller and individual IO-Link devices by inhibiting the device.

While the device is inhibited, you can still retrieve parameter values and change the configuration by using the Module Properties window or explicit messaging.

When you inhibit the device, you can do the following:

Perform maintenance of the device without faults being reported to the controller.
Change the device configuration in both Fallback and non-Fallback channels.
Troubleshoot configuration issues. See Troubleshoot Your IO-Link Device.

To inhibit the device connection, see Connection View.
