4.9 IO-Link
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which enables direct access to
process and diagnostic data� In addition it is possible to set the parameters of the
unit while it is in operation� Operation of the unit via an IO-Link interface requires
an IO-Link master�
With a PC, suitable IO-Link software and an IO-Link adapter cable communication
is possible when the system is not in 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 www�ifm�com�
4.9.1 Additional functions via IO-Link
• Noise-immune signal transmission without measured value losses�
• Remote parameter setting of the unit�
• Transmission of the parameter settings to a replaced sensor or to other sen-
sors of the same type�
• Simultaneous reading of all process values (volumetric flow, temperature, pres-
sure, totaliser), the binary switching signals and the device status�
• Comprehensive display of error and event messages�
• Management of device tags�
• Evaluation of the process values and diagnostic data via IO-Link master�
• Paperless logging of parameter sets, process values and diagnostic informa-
tion�
• Additional parameters:
-electronic lock as protection against tampering,
-flashing function for sensor localisation: [Flash ON] > switching status LEDs
flash; display: "IO-Link" (green, flashing)�
