Short description
of the
functionality
The functionality of the Balluff status light module can be controlled through process data
and ISDU registers. It has three main mode of functionality:
Segment mode
Runlight mode
Flexible mode*
With the help of the three modes various warning and indication signals can be indicated.
The buzzer function is available in all modes. The synchronisation* is available in segment
and runlight mode and if the Smartlight contains buzzer it is also available in flexible mode.
3.8
Segment mode
To use the module as a standard status light, the Mode ISDU register must be set to
segment mode. In the segment mode the module can be used as a standard status light,
with one segment. The module has 4 LEDs. The color of the segment can be selected from
a color table, which has six pre-defined colors and one user defined color. In the segment
mode, the segment can be set to blink too. It has a control bit in process data, which
determines the blinking of the segment. The blinking has two modus. Either normal blinking
or flash mode can be selected. In normal blinking the LEDs are switched on and off
periodically with a 50% duty cycle. In the flash mode, the LEDs are switched on and off
quickly three times. The flash is repeated in every second. The type of the blinking can be
set in ISDU register. The frequency of the normal blinking can be changed through an
ISDU register.
3.9
Runlight mode
To use the module as a runlight display, the Mode ISDU register must be set to runlight
mode. In the runlight mode, the complete module displays a running light effect. In this case
all of the LEDs are working as one runlight effect. The runlight mode is controlled by ISDU
registers.
Three registers set the functionality of the runlight. The color of the running LEDs, the
background color and the speed of the running segment can be set in the ISDU registers.
One segment has a size of 4 LEDs.
3.10
Flexible mode
In the flexi mode each LED-ring can be configured individually. With BNI IOL-800… you
can realize up to 4 different segments. To use the flexi mode, the ISDU register must be set
to flexi mode. There is an ISDU register for each LED ring, which has 5 subindices, 3 for
the color channels, one for brightness ON and one for brightness OFF. In the process data
there is one bit for every LED-ring, which sets the LED state (ON or OFF)
3.11
Synchronisation
In synchronisation mode you can syncronise functions (blinking, flashing, buzzer) of several
Balluff SmartLights. The function is available in runlight- and segment mode. The
synchronisation is controlled by 2 bits in the process data: (Sync Start and Sync Impluse).
When a rising edge is detected on the Sync start bit, the SmartLight resets its internal state.
This assures that the syncronised SmartLights start to work in the same state. The Sync
start rising edge has to be generated once after a reset. When a rising edge is detected on
the Sync impulse bit, the SmartLight resets its internal timer. It has to be generated
cyclically in order to keep the SmartLights synchronised. The time period of the Sync
impluse can be configured by the user. It´s recommended to set the values between 1 sec.
and 15 sec., depending on the frequency of the synchronised parameters (blinking,
flashing, buzzer).
