IMPORTANT: This section applies only to IO-Link devices from Rockwell Automation that have an embedded IODD file.
To use FactoryTalk Linx software version 6.40 or later to upload and register the embedded IODD file in IO-Link devices, complete these steps.
  1. In the FactoryTalk Linx Network Browser, select a device in the communication tree.
  2. Right-click the device and select EDS / Device Description Upload.
  3. If the target device has registered a device description file, the following warning message shows:
    “An EDS / Device Description is already registered for this device. Are you sure you still want to upload and register this EDS / Device Description file?”
    Select OK to continue and replace the existing device description file, or select Cancel to stop the upload process and retain the existing device description file.
