Operation
8.1
IO-Link
In addition to manual configuration, the sensor can also be configured using IO-Link.
A detailed list of IO-Link functions can be found on the leaflet supplied with the sensor
or at

Operating and status indicators
Operating indicator
The sensor has a capacitive keypad for performing configuration and setting parame‐
ters.
The MPS-C capacitive keypad features dynamic switching threshold adjustment. If
environmental effects cause the switching threshold to move significantly, leading to
a keypad malfunction, the sensor will detect the move after five seconds and the
switching threshold will be recalibrated.
The keypad will then be ready to be pressed again. The user can also perform recalibra‐
tion by pressing and holding the relevant key for more than five seconds.
NOTE
If the sensor detects an invalid unlocking attempt, the capacitive keypad will be locked
for three seconds. After this, locking can be attempted again.
Operation is carried out by pressing a series of keys with various time windows:
Press:
Touch the keypad from 0.1 to 0.5 s, then release (> 0.1 s).
Hold:
Touch the keypad for several seconds without releasing.
Lift finger:
The finger does not touch the keypad for several seconds.
NOTE
Operating the keypad requires a little practice because the response times are limited
and the required settings are configured with time dependence.
Tip:
Memorize the series for the required settings before you configure the sensor.

Status indicators
The table below describes the individual function displays. The actual behavior of the
LEDs during operation represents a combination of these function displays.
NOTE
The behavior of the LEDs in teach-in mode differs from the table below. See the
information in the individual sections relating to the teach-in steps.
