The IODDfinder portal is accessible around the clock, giving interested parties access to the database and facilitating direct connection of engineering and parameterising tools. The software tools can contact the manufacturer-neutral database via the Internet, giving them automatic access to the IO-Link devices’ description files.
During its first six months of operation, the platform has dealt with around 2,500 call-ups every day. The IO-Link community believes that the service will help to widen the use of IO-Link.
The IODDfinder can be reached either via a direct link or from the homepage of the IO-Link community’s Web site.
