7 Interfaces
7.1 IO-Link communication interface
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link-
capable module for operation�
The IO-Link interface permits:
• direct access to process and diagnostic data,
• parameter setting of the unit outside the plant via IO-Link interface,
• parameter setting of the unit during operation via the IO-Link master�
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 are
available at www�ifm�com�
8 Parameter setting
When a suitable unit has been selected, the presence of certain media
is detected, deposits or foam are suppressed� In many cases the factory
is absolutely sufficient� For special requirements
it is possible to adapt/configure the sensitivity and other functions to the
corresponding application� Splashes, wave movements and air bubbles can
be suppressed, for example, by setting a switching delay�
Parameters can be set before installation or during operation�
If you change parameters during operation, this will influence the function
of the plant�
