Connect the 871FM Sensor to the IO-Link Master
Chapter 7
Modify the information:
•
Application-specific Name (ASN):
The purpose of the
Application-specific Name is to add a theme to distinguish the
sensors within a machine and the associated project profile in the
Add-on Profile. The ASN allows for easier maintenance and
operation since the device is identified by its use on the machine/
project.
•
Electronic Keying Information:
Select Exact Match or Disabled
from the pull-down menu. The Exact Match and Disabled keying
options in this dialog correspond to the Compatible and No Check
keying options in IO-Link terminology, respectively.
When Exact Match is selected, the connected IO-Link device must
have the same Vendor ID, Device ID, and Revision information that
has been configured for that channel. If they do not match, IO-Link
communications are not established and a Keying Fault status bit is
set. When Disabled is selected, key check is not performed.
•
Process Data Input:
Select the input data from the pull-down menu
(for devices that support multiple layouts of input data).
Click OK.
5. Click Yes to confirm the sensor changes.
