| Application | | communication interface for ifm IO-Link masters | | connection to IO-Link devices and transfer of cyclical process and meta data from the machine level via ifm IO-Link master type DataLine | | Translation of process and meta data into readable information for processing in current and future moneo modules and add-ons | |
| Connectivity | | IO-Link-data are read from the connected units and provided to the moneo apps in a structured form | |
| Device management | | reading and provision of selected meta data of the ifm IO-Link master and the connected IO-Link devices | | name of master and name of device | | Application Specific Tag - input and storage of application-specific information | |
| Data management | | Reading and provision of cyclic process-data-in values (PDI) of IO-Link devices | | transformation of the PDI data into readable information by means of the device-specific IODD | | parsing of the binary process data | | application of the defined gradients | | provision of process data-specific units defined in the IODD | | Provision of IO-Link BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) for selected moneo applications and add-ons | |
