7.4 Parameter setting during operation

u

Make sure that the sensor is connected to an IO-Link-capable module (master).

u

Read the sensor using suitable IO-Link software. Observe the 

Ò

 operating instructions of the

respective software.

u

Set the parameters, adjustable parameters (

Ò

 IODD Description).

u

Check if the unit has accepted the parameter settings. If necessary, read sensor again.

u

Check whether the unit operates correctly.

For further information, please refer to the IODD description (

www.ifm.com

) or to the context-specific

parameter descriptions of the used parameter setting software.

7.5 Parameters

Name

Description

SP1 / SP2

rP1 / rP2

Set points [SP1] / [SP2] and reset points [rP1] / [rP2].

Important:

[SPx] must be higher than [rPx]. If [SPx] is set to a value below [rPx], this is rejected by the device software.

The values for [SPx] / [rPx] are set in per cent of the maximum process value. The process value is defined as
follows:
Process value in air = 0 %, process value in tap water = 100 %
Setting range [SPx]: 4...98 %, step increment: 1 %
Setting range [rPx]: 2...96 %, step increment: 1 %, minimum hysteresis: 2 %

Reference values:

Aqueous / water-based media:

SPx = 62 %, rPx = 54 %

Media with low water content:

SPx = 35 %, rPx = 29 %

Oils, fats, powders:

SPx = 8 %, rPx = 5 %

ou1 / ou2

[ou1] / [ou2]: output function for OUT1 / OUT2:

– [Hno] = hysteresis function/normally open
– [Hnc] = hysteresis function/normally closed
– [Fno] = window function / normally open
– [Fnc] = window function / normally closed

Parameter [ou1] also provides the option [tch]:

– [tch] = configure pin 4 as input for the teach signal

FOU1 / FOU2

Behaviour of the outputs OUT1 / OUT2 in case of a fault:

– [OFF] = output opens in case of a fault (factory setting)
– [On] = output closes in case of a fault

dFo

Delay time of the outputs in case of a fault:
Setting range 0...5 s, step increment 0.2 s

dS1*

/ dS2*

)

Switch-on delay for OUT1 / OUT2:
Setting range 0...10 s, step increment 0.2 s
*

Parameter [dSx] is not available for LMT01A!

dr1 / dr2

Switch-off delay for OUT1 / OUT2:
Setting range 0…10 s, step increment 0.2 s

P-n

Output polarity for the outputs (PnP or nPn)

7.6 System commands

tSP1

Teach switch point 1 to medium 1

• Full adjustment to medium 1 to be detected, automatically sets the switching thresholds SP1/rP1 for OUT1.

tSP2

Teach switch point 2 to medium 2

• Full adjustment to medium 2 to be detected, automatically sets the switching thresholds SP2/rP2 for OUT2.

rES

Restore the factory setting
