■Summary of product function
•I/O function
This device can control 32 outputs for solenoid valve control and check device stats using cyclic data
communication via IO-Link system.

•Fault action
Output action at a communication fault can be set by parameter, either Clear Output, Force Output or Hold
Last State.

•Output switching counter

This device can count the number of output switching cycles on each single output and the count value can
be automatically stored in the device every hour or automatically∗ in the SI unit when the IO-Link power is
turned off.
∗: Depending on the situation of the voltage change at power OFF, it may not be possible to save.

•Device condition (diagnosis) monitoring

This device can provide information about the device condition (diagnosis) over the IO-Link.
•This device can detect various error state, such as internal hardware fault and output open/short circuit.
•This device can detect various warning state, such as solenoid power over-run/under-run and device
temperature over-run.
•Also, the device can notify when the output switching count reaches the upper limit value set by the user
arbitrarily.

•Data Storage function

Data Storage is a function which enables a consistent and up-to-date set of device parameters to be stored
in the Master. The main purpose of the IO-Link Data Storage mechanism is to ease the replacement of
defect devices without using configuration, parameterization, or other tools.

When the user has assigned parameter values with the help of engineering tools, they are downloaded into
the device and become active parameters. Upon a system command, these parameters are uploaded
(copied) into the Data Storage within the Master.
The stored (saved) set of back-up parameters overwrite the active parameters (e.g. factory settings) within
the compatible replacement device.

Data Storage provides three different "Backup Levels" of parameters to be defined on the Master port using
engineering tools, Commissioning ("Disable"), Production ("Backup/Restore") and Production ("Restore").
"Backup" means that upload is enabled and "Restore" means that download is enabled.

∗: "yyyymmdd" in the file name indicates data of file creation, where yyyy is the year, mm is the month and dd is the day.

•Data Storage
Data Storage is function which enables a consistent and up-to-date set of device parameters to be stored in
the Master.
When a single parameter (Index and Subindex) is changed and the changed parameters need to be
uploaded (copied) to the Master, a SystemCommand "ParamDownloadStore" needs to be sent to the SI
unit by the user to back up the parameters.
When entire parameters are set in the SI unit using "block parameter" from the IO-Link Tool, a
SystemCommand "ParamDownloadStore" will be sent automatically as a part of the block parameter
transmission sequence (the user does not need to execute that SystemCommand).
The stored (saved) set of back-up parameters can overwrite the active parameters (e.g. factory settings)
within a compatible replacement SI unit.

•Service data

■Output number layout / Process data
The process data of this product is designed with byte array base data type, so the byte order when solenoid
output is allocated on the PLC memory is based on the endian type of the transmission format of the IO-Link
master gateway upper communication, either big endian format or little endian format.
The following illustration shows the byte order in each case.

For the fieldbus / Industrial Ethernet with the big endian transmission format

The output numbering refers to the solenoid position on the manifold and starts at zero.
Standard wiring of the manifold is for a double-solenoid valve. The output number starts at the A side and then B side in that order as
shown in figure a.
If a single-solenoid valve is mounted on the standard wiring manifold, the output number for the B side solenoid valve is skipped.
Custom wiring for the mixed mounting single-solenoid valves and the double-solenoid-valves can be specified with a Wiring
Specification Sheet. Example wiring is shown in figure b.
Bit state "0" and "1" in the data corresponds to solenoid valve state OFF and ON (0: OFF, 1: ON), and the output number starts at zero
from LSB (least significant bit).
