10 Diagnostics and servicing
VEGAPULS 42 • Three-wire with IO-Link (2 x transistor or 4 … 20 mA plus 1 x transistor)
1016153-EN-230316
Since we offer this service worldwide, the support is provided in
English. The service itself is free of charge, the only costs involved are
the normal call charges.
10.3 Diagnosis, fault messages
Connect a multimeter in the suitable measuring range according to
the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the
current signal and helps to eliminate them:
Error
Cause
Rectification
4 … 20 mA signal not stable Fluctuating measured value
Set damping
4 … 20 mA signal missing
Electrical connection faulty
Check connection, correct, if necessary
Voltage supply missing
Check cables for breaks; repair if nec-
essary
Operating voltage too low, load resist-
ance too high
Check, adapt if necessary
Current signal greater than
22 mA, less than 3.6 mA
Sensor electronics defective
Replace device or send in for repair de-
pending on device version
The 360° status indication on the device (see chapter "

tion
") shows the following:
•
Device status
•
Switching status of the transistor output
•
Operating status
