7 Parameter setting
With a suitable unit the presence of certain media can be detected while build-up or foam is
suppressed. In many cases the factory setting is 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.
The parameters can be set before installation and set-up of the unit or during operation.
If you change parameters during operation, this will influence the function of the plant.
u
Make sure that there will be no malfunctions or dangerous operation in your plant.
u
Note the potential dangers related to extreme plant conditions.
7.1 IO-Link communication interface
The device has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link-capable module.
The IO-Link interface allows:
•
direct access to process and diagnostic data,
•
parameter setting of the unit outside the plant via the IO-Link interface,
•
parameter setting of the unit via the IO-Link master during 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
7.2 Parameter setting using PC and USB IO-Link master
u
Preparing the PC, software and master. Observe the
Ò
Operating instructions of the respective
units / software.
u
Connect the unit to the USB IO-Link master (
Ò
Accessories).
u
Follow the menu of the IO-Link software.
u
Set the parameters; adjustable parameters(
Ò
Parameters).
u
Check if the unit has accepted the parameter settings. If necessary, read sensor again.
u
Remove the USB IO-Link master and put the unit into operation.
7.3 Parameter setting via memory plug
Via a memory plug (
Ò
Accessories), a parameter set can be written/transferred to the unit.
The memory plug can also be used to save the current parameter setting of a unit and to transfer it to
other units of the same type.
u
Load suitable parameter set (e.g. using a PC) to the memory plug. Observe the (
Ò
Operating
instructions) of the memory plug.
u
Make sure that the sensor has the original factory settings.
u
Connect the memory plug between sensor and socket.
w
When voltage is supplied, the parameter set is transferred from the memory plug to the sensor.
u
Remove the memory plug and put the unit into operation.
