IO-Link MasterEDS Files

Overview

You do not need to add the IO-Link Master to RSLinx for normal IO-Link Master-to-PLC communications. However, you can easily add the IO-Link Master and its associated Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files to RSLinx.

The files named IO-Link Master_*.ico are icon files and files named IO-Link Master_dd_NNNN-x.xx.eds are ODVA electronic data sheet files where:

  • dd is the model name

  • NNNN is the product ID number

  • x.xx is the version number

Download the Files

You can download the EDS files provided for the IO-Link Master.
