IODD is the abbreviation for IO-Link Device Description. An individual IODD file exists for each IO-Link device. The device properties and individual sensor information such as identification, process and diagnostic data are stored here. These are required for integrating the sensor into the IO-Link infrastructure.
ifm provides the IODD file for each IO-Link product on its website under "Documents & downloads". In addition, the IODD of each IO-Link device sold by ifm is saved in the company's parameter setting software and in other software solutions for IO-Link device and port configuration tools from ifm.
The IO-Link community also offers a manufacturer-independent IODD library: To the IODD finder
