This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which enables direct access to 

process and diagnostic data� In addition it is possible to set the parameters of the 

unit while it is in operation� Operation of the unit via the IO-Link interface requires 

an IO-Link master�
With a PC, suitable IO-Link software and an IO-Link adapter cable communication 

is possible while the system is not in operation�

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 can be 

found at www�ifm�com�

8  Operation

Check whether the unit operates correctly� Bring about a sensor response by 

taking suitable measures�

Display by LEDs:

LED yellow OFF: 

switching output disabled

LED yellow ON:
