Application
The memory plug is used where sensor data are to be copied or stored. This could for instance be the case when a defective unit needs to be replaced or several sensors with the same parameter settings are installed. The memory plug reads and stores the data from a connected IO-Link sensor. If the user then connects a sensor of the same type with factory settings, the data record stored on the memory plug will be copied onto the new sensor.
The memory plug allows easy storing or copying of parameters via an automatic parameter exchange. To do so, the memory plug is inserted in the supply and switching output cable of a device. During power-on or when connecting a device to the supplied memory plug, the data exchange is automatically carried out. If the memory plug is empty it automatically stores the data of a connected sensor, including type. Then the stored data can be transferred to as many sensors of the same type (= same device ID) as desired. Furthermore, you can write-protect the memory plug or remove this write protection via the FDT container. In addition, you can write on and block the memory plug via the FDT container. Even without a PC the write protection can be activated or deactivated and the factory setting restored by means of the teach button, available as an accessory.
