Sensor Programming via the Programming Button
Basic information about programming
In terms of factory settings, the sensor can only be programmed during the first 5 minutes after
switching on. This time is extended during the actual programming process. The option of
programming the sensor is revoked if no programming activities take place for 5 minutes. After
this, programming is no longer possible until the sensor is switched off and on again.
When configuring sensors via the IO-Link, you can use the DTM to adjust the programming
button
’
s locking logic. This is done in the "Sensor configuration" menu option, "Local controls"
tab.
When actively communicating via the IO-Link interface of the sensor, it is not possible to use
the programming button to program.
The programming activities can be canceled at any time without changing the sensor settings.
To do so, press and hold the programming button for 10 seconds.
Programming via the programming button can take place in the stand-alone mode of a sensor
or also in the synchronized sensor group of several sensors (only for automatic common mode
and multiplex mode). When programming in the synchronized sensor group, there may be a
delay to starting the programming routine, depending on when the sensor in question is next in
line. For the duration of the programming process, the other sensors in the sensor group go into
standby mode (green LED is flashing). Then synchronization mode continues to operate as
normal.

Programming Switch Points/Limits
Programming Switch Point 1/Near Limit (SP1)
If the object is detected correctly during the programming process, the yellow LED flashes
slowly. If no object is detected, the yellow LED flashes at a higher frequency. A flashing red LED
during or when completing the programming process indicates unreliable object detection. In
this case, correct the alignment of the object during the programming process until the yellow
LED flashes. Only then will the settings be transferred to the sensor memory.
1. Position the object at the site of the required switch point/the required near limit.
2. Press and hold the T programming button for 2 seconds (yellow LED flashes)
3. Briefly press the T programming button (green LED flashes 3 times as confirmation). The
sensor returns to normal operation.
Programming Switch Point 2/Far Limit (SP2)
1. Position the object at the site of the required switch point/required far limit.
2. Press and hold the T programming button for 2 seconds (yellow LED flashes)
3. Press and hold the T programming button for 2 seconds (green LED flashes 3 times as
confirmation). The sensor returns to normal operation.
Note!
Depending on the type of sensor, you can program the switch points for sensors with switching
output and the limits for sensors with analog output. The programming procedures are the
same in both cases and are therefore described in conjunction below.
