ExportingtheIO-Linkdeviceconguration
You can export a conguration le from a conguration pro-
ject, in order to then load it to the u-remote station.
▶ Navigate to the IO-Link port overview.
▶ Open the context menu.
▶ Click Export configuration.
▶ Select a storage location and a file name and click Save.
The conguration is exported as a le with the le ending
“.json”.
Congurations that contain a parameter error
cannot be exported.
For some IO-Link devices, you need to enter val-
ues for all subindexes in order to export the con-
guration. If you do not enter a required subindex,
an error message is displayed.
An exported conguration only contains the IO-
Link device parameters that you have activated.
Therefore, only the activated parameters are over-
written when you load the conguration to the
u-remote station.
