1 Overview
1.1 Functions and features
The Rosemount IO-Link Assistant software offers the following options:
• Parameter setting of IO-Link masters and devices
— Via the network
— Devices "point-to-point" via USB IO-Link master
• Online and offline set-up of Rosemount IO-Link masters and devices
— Parameter setting
— Loading parameters from an IO-Link sensor
— Saving and loading sets of parameters in or from a file
— Writing parameters to IO-Link devices
— Support of IO-Link actuators
• Graphic representation of process values
— Evaluation of measured values
— Export of displayed measured values
The software can be used for simple and efficient parameter setting of IO-Link masters and
sensors. The software is designed to reduce setup costs, increase plant up-time and
simplify verification and evaluation of measured value curves during setup or
maintenance.
CAUTION
Parameters of devices and sensors can only be set from the Rosemount IO-Link Assistant.
Simultaneous parameter setting of devices and sensors with several Rosemount IO-Link
Assistant instances or other software products is not supported and may cause problems.
WARNING
During parameter setting, the behavior of devices and sensors may change. This applies in
particular if process values of actuators are changed via the Rosemount IO-Link Assistant.
The user must ensure that no processes in operation will be impaired and that there is no
risk for people or devices at any time.
