Profile Characteristic

Description

Profile Characteristic is a readable parameter that provides information about which IO-Link profiles are supported. It is used mainly to allow profile function modules of the control unit to detect which profile or functions on the device are available.

This parameter is defined in the IO-Link specification.

Name Index Subindex Access Length Data Type Data Storage Default
Profile Characteristic 0x000D (13) 0 R 14 bytes UINT16[] n/a

The parameter can be read via subindex 0 and consists of multiple profile indices and function classes (each 16-bit values).

If a profile ID is specified, this means that all included function classes are supported. If only sub-functions are supported, these are output explicitly as an individual function class.

This device supports the following profiles:

Profile ID Name / Description
0x0015 Measuring and Switching Sensor, high resolution, 2 channel
0x0030 BLOB transfer
0x0031 Firmware Update
0x4000 Common Application Profile: Identification and Diagnosis

The following function classes are supported:

Function Class ID Name / Description
0x8011 Teach two point extension
0x8012 Teach dynamic extension
0x8101 Locator

All individual functions are described in this guide. For more exact descriptions of the profiles, refer to the corresponding profile specifications (see www.io-link.com).
