Register IO-Link Device IODD
Each IO-Link device has an associated IODD that contains information that is related to
the device.
Installing the AOP for IO-Link automatically registers the IODDs for a set of Rockwell
Automation IO-Link devices. If the IO-Link device that you want to use is not part of
this set, you must register the IODD for the device separately.
You can download IODD files for Rockwell Automation IO-Link devices from the Product
Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) at rok.auto/pcdc.
For third-party IO-Link devices, you can download the IODD files from the manufacturer’s
website or use the “IODDfinder” tool that is available on the IO-Link website at io-link.com to search for the IODD files.
Automatically Download IODD File From IODDFinder
If there are unregistered IO-Link devices in your project or through discovery, you
can use the Device Description File Installation Tool to download the IODD files
automatically from the IODDFinder website and register the files.
For more information, see Automatically Download IODD File From IODDFinder.
Register Embedded IODD Files
You can use the FactoryTalk® Linx Network Browser to upload and
register device description files for Rockwell Automation IO-Link devices that have
an embedded device description file. For example, the RightSight™ M30 Background
Suppression and Reflection sensor (42AF-B1MAB1 and 42AF-B1MAC1).
To upload and register a device description file from a device, see Register Embedded IODD Files.
