Device backward compatibility (DBC)
DT35 and DL35 type devices can be converted to the Dx35 Extended
device type by changing the device ID. The Extended version provides the
additional “Timer” process data function. The reverse is also possible.
This is not possible with DS35 and DR35 device types because of the miss-
ing analog output.

SOPAS ET: “Identification” page > device IDs
Changing the device ID changes the IO-Link interface. The connection
is terminated after the change. A new device search must be started in
SOPAS ET.
IO-Link master: By adding the appropriate IODD (e.g. SICK-DX35-Extended-
xxx-IODD1.1; DeviceID 6488071), the device ID is automatically changed
during connection. A device reset sets the device ID back to the default
setting.
10.8 Timer function
The timer function is only available with the “Dx35 Extended” device type.

See Chapter 10.7 on page 54.
The timer function can be used to determine how long output Q1 is in the
active state. This can be used, for example, to measure the time for which
an object is in the sensor's detection range. The timer function can be used
with all switching functions of output Q1.
Timekeeping is started each time output Q1 changes from the non-active
to the active state. Timekeeping is stopped when output Q1 changes over
from the active to the non-active state. After the timekeeping has been
ended, the measured time can be read out via the process data using IO-
Link.
The measured time is output in milliseconds. The accuracy of the timer is
affected by the sensor's speed settings (response time, depth of the bit
filter). The longest measurable time span is 65,535 milliseconds (65.5
seconds).
