Edge Detection
The edge selected in the Teach-In Edges menu is detected within specified toler‐
ances values. The smoothing function of the sensor, which smooths position val‐
ues over a 33ms period, is automatically active. This ensures steady and stable
edge guiding. The time interval for smoothing is configured via IO-Link and SOPAS.
•
Position
The edge selected in the Teach-In Edges menu is positioned precisely. The smooth‐
ing function of the sensor is deactivated.
The Sensor Setup button is used to open a menu for selecting the operating mode. The
wizard also asks for the reading direction, the background, the sensitivity, and the pin 2
and pin 5 assignment configuration.

Other sensor settings and diagnostics
The sensor settings can be edited on the “General Device Se Diagnostics” tab.
These are:
•
Reading direction
The AS30 Core offers 2 reading directions for the sensor. The edge position values
are outputted in the configured direction. The analog output on pin 2 switches
accordingly. The options are
- From the male connector to the head side (default)
- From the head side to the male connector
- Defined by input pin: Select this option to configure the reading direction via the
input on pin 5.
•
Pin 2 configuration
Pin 2 is the analog output of the detected edge and can be deactivated.
•
Pin 5 configuration
Pin 5 can be configured either as an external input for edge teach-in, a second dig‐
ital output, or an input for changing the reading direction.
•
Other settings
(
- Activate/deactivate emitted light
- Set find-me function
- Set IO-Link events
- Diagnostic display (including operating hours, temperature, or setting the “Quality
of Run” alarm threshold)
- Set pushbutton lock
