Go to page 3 for instructions on downloading and setting the IP address using the Ethernet
Device Configuration Tool.

2. Use LR Device Software to:


a. Set the IP address of the IO-Link module
b. Read and write various configurations: Host names, I/O port settings, update rates, etc…
c. Detect and display IO-Link sensors connected to each port
d. Configure IO-Link devices through the IO-Link module when purchased and licensed version is
used
