Error in data processing
Cause of the fault
Corrective measures
Sensor cable removed during transmission�
►
Connect the sensor cable to the memory
plug again�
Unknown sensor connected, e�g�
• IO-Link 1�0 sensor of another
manufacturer�
• Sensor not equipped with IO-Link �
►

Unlock the sensor or connect an
unlocked sensor�
The identification of the connected sensor does not correspond to the parameter set in the
memory plug�
Cause of the fault
Corrective measures
The connected sensor is neither of the
same type nor compatible�
►
Connect a sensor of the same type (=
sensor with the same IO-Link device ID) or
another compatible sensor�
