8 Operation
Connect the unit to an IO-Link master (master port class A) using a 4-pole connection cable. The
controller switches the individual LEDs / LED segments on and off in the configured colours according
to the set parameters.
Via the parameter [Operating mode] the following modes can be set:
•
Signal Light Mode
•
Level Meter Mode
8.1 Signal Light Mode
While the device is operating, the controller switches the LED segments and the buzzer (if present) on
and off (PDout, cyclical data communication). Signalling corresponds to the pre-defined parameters
for the individual LED segments and the buzzer.
Via the acyclic parameter setting the following properties can be set for every LED segment:
•
Segment size (number of LEDs for the individual LED segments)
A maximum of 20 LEDs can be divided into a maximum of 5 LED segments.
•
Space between the segments
The lowest LED in each LED segment can be switched off.
•
Colour per LED segment (off, red, green, orange, blue, violet, turquoise, white, user-specific)
•
Colours of the 20 LEDs (3 user-specific combinations with a maximum of 20 colours each)
•
Frequency per LED segment (permanently on, flashing slow/medium/fast, blinking slow/medium/
fast)
•
Brightness of all LEDs (0...100 %)
For the models with an acoustic signal device the audibility of the buzzer can be set (0…100 %).

8.2 Level Meter Mode
While in operation the controller transmits an analogue value between 0 and 100 % in byte 1 via
PDout. The device indicates it if the analogue value exceeds configured thresholds. Byte 0 determines
the display of the visual signalling as well as the acoustic signal (only for DV2910 and DV2930).
