Connecting to a PC –
Sensor Studio
The
Sensor Studio
configuration software – in combination with an IO-Link USB master – provides a
graphical user interface for the operation, configuration and diagnosis of sensors with IO-Link configuration
interface (IO-Link devices), independent of the selected process interface.
Each IO-Link device is described by a corresponding IO Device Description (IODD file). After importing the
IODD file into the configuration software, the IO-Link device connected to the IO-Link USB master can be
operated, configured and checked – conveniently and in multiple languages. An IO-Link device that is not
connected to the PC can be configured offline.
Configurations can be saved and reopened as projects for transferring back to the IO-Link device at a later
time.
The
Sensor Studio
configuration software is designed according to the FDT/DTM concept:
• Make individual configuration settings for the light curtain in the Device Type Manager (DTM).
• The individual DTM configurations of a project can be called up via the frame application of the Field
Device Tool (FDT).
• Communication DTM: IO-Link USB master
• Device DTM: IO-Link device/IODD for CML 700i
Procedure for the installation of the software and hardware:
Install the
Sensor Studio
configuration software on the PC.
Install the driver for the IO-Link USB master on the PC.
Connect the IO-Link USB master to the PC.
Connect the CML 700i (IO-Link device) to the IO-Link USB master.
Install IO-Link device DTM with IODD file for CML 700i in the
Sensor Studio
FDT frame.
16.1 System requirements
To use the
Sensor Studio
configuration software, you need a PC or laptop with the following specifications:
Only use the
Sensor Studio
configuration software for products manufactured by Leuze.
The
Sensor Studio
configuration software is offered in the following languages: German, Eng
-
lish, French, Italian and Spanish.
The FDT frame application of the
Sensor Studio
supports all languages; all languages may not
be supported in the IO-Link device DTM (Device Type Manager).
NOTICE
Configuration changes only via the control and the fieldbus interface!
Always perform the configuration for process mode via the control and, if applicable, the fieldbus inter
-
face.
In process mode, only the configuration conveyed via the control is active. The configuration changes
made via
Sensor Studio
are only active in process mode if they were previously transmitted 1:1 to the
control.
