Functions and operating modes
The devices are factory set as proximity switches with a rated switching distance of 2 mm
(BCT2…), 3 mm (NCT3…), 4 mm (BCT4…) or 8 mm (NCT8…). The rated switching distances can
be adjusted.
The device can only be parameterized via IO-Link.
The devices are SIDI compatible.
SIDI (Simple IO-Link Device Integration) enables IO-Link devices in PROFINET applications to be
configured directly in the programming environment (e.g. TIA Portal). The Turck IO-Link devices
are integrated in the GSDML file of the TBEN, TBPN and FEN20 series IO-Link masters and can be
set in the programming environment as submodules of a modular I/O system. The user has
access here to all device properties and parameters.
4.4.1
Internal monitoring functions
The device is provided with an internal temperature monitoring.
The device is also equipped with a monitoring function. The monitoring function enables
conclusions to be drawn about the load and the failure probability of the sensor. The device
status can be indicated via the IO-Link parameters.
