7 Interfaces
7.1 O-Link communication interface
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link-capa-
ble module for operation�
The IO-Link interface permits:
• direct access to process and diagnostic data,
• parameter setting of the unit outside the plant via IO-Link interface,
• parameter setting of the unit during operation via the IO-Link master�
The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the unit, detailed information about
process data structure, diagnostic information, parameter addresses and the
necessary information about the required IO-Link hardware and software are
available at www�autosen�com�
8 Parameter setting
In many cases the factory setting is sufficient For special requirements it is
possible to adapt/configure the sensitivity and other functions to the appli-
cation� Splashes, wave movements and air bubbles can be suppressed by
setting a switching delay, for example�
In addition, the process temperature can be measured on the probe tip�
Temperature can only be measured via the IO-Link communication inter-
face with acyclic data exchange� The probe tip must be sufficiently covered
with the medium during the measurement�
The parameters can be set prior to installation and set-up of the unit or while in
operation�
Changing parameters during operation can influence the function of the
plant�

Ensure that there will be no malfunctions in the plant�
