19Manual Communication module UR20-4COM-IO-LINK2547720000/03/09.2019
“Channel diagnostics” parameter
The “Channel diagnostics” parameter activates channel diag-
nostics.
Disabled (default)
Channel diagnostics is disabled.
Enabled
Channel diagnostics is enabled.
“Process data length input” parameter
The “Process data length input” parameter denes how
many bytes the process input data of the IO-Link master are
occupied by the cyclic input data of the IO-Link device con-
nected.
0…32bytes
The cyclic input data of the IO-Link device connected occu-
pies 0…32 bytes of the IO-Link master process input data.
auto (default)
The length of the cyclic input data is automatically set to the
IO-Link device connected.
“Process data length output” parameter
The “Process data length output” parameter denes how
many bytes of the IO-Link master process output data are oc-
cupied by the cyclic data of the IO-Link device connected.
0…32bytes
The cyclic output data of the IO-Link device connected occu-
pies 0…32 bytes of the IO-Link master process output data.
auto (default)
The length of the cyclic output data is automatically set to
match the IO-Link device connected.
