NOTE
A detailed description of the process data structures is contained in the operating
instructions of the IODD file (see download at
Alternatively, all values transferred into the process data can be read out also via the
acyclical channel (“All process data” parameter).
Further settings for the distance value
You can set the resolution for the distance value of the process data. Possible values
include 0.1 mm, 1 mm (factory setting) and 10 mm.
Furthermore, it is possible to set off the measured distance value for the output
via IO-Link with an offset. This is done by subtracting the offset from the measured
distance value. You can set offset values from 0 to 50,000 mm (50 m) (factory setting
is 0 mm).
NOTE
If an offset value is set, only measured values greater than the set value are output.
Smaller measured values are output as 0 mm.
Value range of the distance value
The value range of the distance value in the process data (largest value that can be
displayed in theory) depends on the process data format selected and on the resolution
set. If the actually measured distance value exceeds the maximum value that can be
displayed, then that maximum value is displayed instead of the actual value.
The following limits apply:
