7.2 Process data

7.3 Direct parameter
page
The IO-Link protocol provides a process data container 32 bytes in size. Addressing is done in
the command byte which the IO-Link Master sends. When process data are sent, addressing is
directly to the sub-indices 00hex … 1Fhex.
The BIS L-409-… processes 8 bytes of input and 8 bytes of output data (input buffer/output
buffer). The process data are mapped to the first 8 bytes of the process data container (sub-
indices 00hex…07hex).

The Direct Parameter Page (DPP) contains 32 bytes of application-specific parameters and
parameters for setting IO-Link communication. This corresponds to the first two pages of the
Service Protocol Data Unit (SPDU) with 16 bytes each. Although the SPDU of the BIS L-409
devices is not supported, access to the DPP is made via Index, Subindex and length (in bytes) of
the SPDU.
With Subindex 0 all 16 bytes of the Index can be accessed; the length determines how many
parameters are read or written. With a Subindex > 0 a particular element of the Index is
accessed, and the length specification is not used. Specification of these values depends on the
IO-Link Master and the controller.
The most important parameters are summarized in the following table. Each parameter has a
data width of 1 byte.
