Commissioning Using PACTware and DTM
Setting Up Sensor Communication Using PACTware via the
"Fuchs PACTware Connection Wizard"
You need to install "P Fuchs PACTware Connection Wizard" on your PC and connect
the sensor to the PC via the IO-Link USB master.
As an alternative to establishing a connection via PACTware DC, you can simply start and
establish a connection with the sensor using the "P Fuchs PACTware Connection Wiz-
ard." This wizard assumes all necessary steps in opening a PACTware project.
Double-click the "Fuchs PACTware Connection Wizard" icon.
Loads PACTware and the associated DTM and the connection to the sensor is automatically
established.

Commissioning Using IrDa Infrared Interface
The "Fuchs PACTware Connection Wizard" is available to help you launch and con-
nect the sensor easily. The wizard takes you through all the necessary steps for opening a
PACTware project. Alternatively, you can launch PACTware directly and add or launch devices
such as the UC-PROG-IR-USB interface cable, the sensor, the DTM, and connection set-up on
a step-by-step basis.
Prerequisites for Commissioning
Proceed as follows to communicate with the sensor via the infrared interface IrDA using
"PACTware DC" software and the associated DTM (Device Type Manager):
1.
Make sure that PACTware DC and the necessary DTMs (Device Type Managers), and/or the
IODD device description for the sensor, the IO-Link master, and any required communication
DTMs for upstream components (e.g., the UC-PROB-IR-USB interface cable) are installed.
Figure 6.4
2.
Attach the UC-PROG-IR-USB interface cable (1) to the back of the sensor such that the
marking arrow (1) points to the mark on the sensor infrared interface (2).
3.
Connect the sensor to a voltage supply via an M12 cordset.
4.
Connect the UC-PROG-IR-USB interface cable to a USB connection on your PC.
Note
To connect the sensor via the IrDa infrared interface, the UC-PROG-IR-USB interface cable is
required. You can find this interface cable at www.pepperl-fuchs.com and by navigating to the
product page for the relevant sensor.
Refer to the datasheet for the UC-PROG-IR-USB interface cable and read the description
regarding correct orientation of the sensor to the interface cable.
