Opening the IODDfinder in the standard browser
To add an IO-Link device to a configuration, you need the relevant IODD from the manufacturer. You can search for and download IODDs using the IODDfinder.
- The computer must be connected to the Internet.
- You have opened the IO-Link Configurator
- Navigate to the IO-Link port overview.
- Click IODDfinder.
- The IODDfinder is opened in your standard browser.
- Search for the desired IODDs.
- Load the files onto your computer.

If only {IODD}.xml is imported, e.g. the following supporting data will be missing:
- Product image: Fallback to IO-Link symbol.
- Additional languages
- The device function is still fully available.

If the IODD is imported as {IODD}.zip, the supporting data can be processed. The product image will be available.
