MPa = bar ÷ 10 / kPa = bar × 100
Avoid static and dynamic overpressure exceeding the given overload
pressure by taking appropriate measures�
The indicated bursting pressure must not be exceeded.
Even if the bursting pressure is exceeded only for a short time, the unit
may be destroyed. NOTE: risk of injury!
4 Function
4.1 Communication, parameter setting, evaluation
•
The unit displays the current process value.
• It generates 2 output signals according to the parameter setting�
OUT1
• Switching signal for process value; IO-Link�
OUT2
2 options
• Switching signal for process value�
• Diagnostic signal (output 2 is inactive in case of a fault)�
•
The following functions are available via IO-Link (OUT1): Reading the current
process value, changing parameters and transferring them to other units of the
same type using the FDT service program ifm Container or other parameter
setting tools with IO-Link capability. The program library of the available DTM
objects and the IO Device Description (IODD) are available at www.ifm.com →
