Temporary loss of signal caused e�g� by turbulence or foam formation can be
suppressed by a delay time (→ 10.5.6 [dFo]). During the delay time the last
measured value is frozen� If the measured signal is received again in sufficient
strength within the delay time, the unit continues to work in normal operation� If,
however, it is not received again in sufficient strength within the delay time, the
outputs pass into the safe state�
5.2.7 IO-Link communication, parameter setting, evaluation
Using an IO-Link capable parameter setting tool such as the FDT service program
ifm Container the following options are available:
-Reading current process values�
-Reading, changing and saving current parameter settings and transmitting
them to other units of the same type�
The catalogue of the available DTM objects, the IO-Link Device Description
(IODD) and the FDT service program ifm Container can be downloaded at
