IO-Link - How to use IODD files

I don't know if this is by deisgn or some incorrect configuration.

Setup using ctrlX WORKS Version 1.20 (this has also been tested and works the same way for Versio 1.18)

By default configuration you recieve the following error when trying to install IODD file into ctrlX IO Engineeering device description.

We can confirm the error message by visiting the add-on installer

Solution

Within the CodeSys - Addon  Profinet Controller you can find the IO-Link package (as you will see below, this works for Ethercat, not use profinet)

Here we have installed the package

And here we can see the IODD file will now install and can be used in configurating the IO

Hello,

the Add-on is only relevant for the CODESYS Add-On's (PROFINET, Ethernet IP). Currently there's no IODD support available with ctrlX IO Engineering.

kind regards
