Device data
In addition to the process data, device data (parameters, identification data and diag‐
nostic information) can be transmitted to and from the sensor. To use this function, a
sensor-specific device description file (IODD) is needed in the IO-Link master.
A download package with the IODD and supplementary documentation is available at
.
The volume of device data that is accessible via IO-Link essentially corresponds to the
data displayed in SOPAS ET.

Operation via multifunctional input (MF)
You can also use the multifunctional input (MF) to configure parameters and teach in
for all DT50-2 Pro versions. More information about operation via multifunctional input
(MF)
see "Multifunctional input (“MF Input”)", page 57

Description of operation
6.4.1
Switching mode for Q
1
(“ModeQ
1
”)
The output Q
1
of DT50-2 Pro provides the following switching modes:
■
Distance to object or single switching point (“DtO (1point)”)
■
Switching window (“Window”)
■
Object between sensor and background (“ObSB (Background)”)
■
Shape comparison (“Shape”, Advanced user level only)
■
Fault output (“Alarm”, Advanced user level only)
■
Signal level warning (“SLWarning”, Advanced user level only)
These are described in detail in the following.
6.4.1.1
“Distance to object” or single switching point (“DtO (1point)”) switching mode
6.4.1.1.1
Description
Output of a signal if the measured distance value has undershot (High Active) or
exceeded (Low Active) the switching point.
