IP Address
Here the fixed IP address of the BVS ID can be set and read (see SensorApp network settings).
The IP address must correspond to the format "x.x.x.x". An IP address obtained dynamically via DHCP is not
displayed here.
Subnet mask
Here the subnet mask of the fixed IP configuration of the BVS ID can be set and read (see SensorApp network
settings).
Gateway address
Here the gateway address of the fixed IP configuration of the BVS ID can be set and read. (see SensorApp
network settings).
DHCP
Here the DHCP option of the BVS ID can be set and read. (see SensorApp network settings).
Process Data
Description
A protocol is transferred in the process data. The functional principle and the available commands are described
in the chapter "
IO-Link / Fieldbus Process Data Protocol ".
Signal Quality
Description
The signal quality is specified in percent steps as a value between 0 and 100%. If the signal quality cannot be
provided, a substitute value of 0xFF (255) is output. The threshold value for the monitoring function can be set
and is used to define two states of the signal quality. The signal quality is considered to be good at or above the
threshold value; the signal quality is considered to be bad below the threshold value. A state change from good
to bad signal quality triggers the Low Signal Quality Level IO-Link event.
The output of the current signal quality can provide support both when setting up as well as during predictive
maintenance. When setting up, the location, the orientation and the environmental conditions can be adapted to
achieve a satisfactory signal quality level. If the signal quality is regularly logged, a deterioration of the
performance can be countered in a preventative manner by adapting the location, orientation and environmental
conditions to prevent failure.
In addition, the monitoring of the signal quality offers an immediate response in the event of a critical failure. This
reaction is triggered if the signal quality drops below the adjustable threshold value and gives the all clear if a
satisfactory signal quality level is once again achieved. The signal state is also indicated by an orange LED that
illuminates if the signal quality is below the threshold value. The function can be deactivated by setting the
threshold value to zero.
