The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the unit, detailed information about
process data structure, diagnostic information, parameter addresses and the
necessary information about the required IO-Link hardware and software can be
found at www.ifm.com.
The IO-Link interface provides the following functions using suitable hardware and
software:
• Remote parameter setting of the unit.
• Noise-immune signal transmission without measured value losses.
• Transmission of the parameter settings to a replaced unit or to other units of
the same type.
• Simultaneous reading of all process values and the binary switching signals.
• Comprehensive display of error and event messages.
• Evaluation of the process values and diagnostic data via IO-Link master.
• Paperless logging of parameter sets, process values and diagnostic
information.
• Additional parameters via IO-Link:
– electronic lock as protection against tampering
5.10.1 IO-Link process values
The process values for flow and temperature are transmitted via IO-Link in the
following units of measurement:
Operating mode [ModE]
Flow unit
Temperature unit
REL
%
°C
GAS
m/s
°C
A change of [uni] does not affect the IO-Link process values.
