4.1.2 Operation with IO-Link master
If the sensor is connected to an IO-Link master, parametter setting, triggering
and data recording can be done completely via IO-Link� The cyclic process data
include the matching value and the switching information (good part / bad part)�
Additional functions are available via IO-Link:
-detection of the number of trigger processes
-device identification

4.1.3 Operation with the Vision Assistant parameter setting software and an
IO-Link master
Via the IO-Link protocol, high-resolution profile images are continually transmitted�
The image data of a profile image is split up into several data packages and
transmitted in a sequence of IO-Link data frames�
The ifm software package Vision Assistant includes a corresponding protocol
handler that combines the profile images and visualises them�
This simplifies the teaching process (guided teach), as the detection zone of the
sensor and the assessment of the profiles is visualised base on the profile images�
Prerequisite:
-IO-Link master
-ifm parameter setting software "ifm Vision Assistant" (E3D300)
Additional functions are available with the Vision Assistant software package:
-Overlay of the ROI in high-resolution profile images for a very precise setting�
-Extensive status information, useful in difficult measurement situations�
Visualisation of profiles can also be done using a customer-specific
software� The information required for this can be found in the IODD�
