Product description
NOTE
Multiplex mode is possible only with devices of the same type
In multiplex mode, all connected sensors must have the same power and range. Only
sensors with the same type code may be connected. The type code is printed on every
device.
In multiplex mode, the addresses must be assigned via IO-Link (e.g. via PACTware™). The master
sensor must always retain the highest address of all the sensors working together. Example:
When using a master sensor with three slaves, the master retains the address 3 and the con-
nected slaves use the addresses 0…2.
Synchronization mode
In synchronization mode, any number of ultrasonic sensors of the same type can be operated at
the same time without mutual feedback. The sensors do not need to be addressed; the master
controls all sensors in a fixed time cycle with a trigger signal via pin 4.
NOTE
Synchronization mode is only possible with devices of the same type
In synchronization mode, all connected sensors must have the same power and range.
In synchronization mode, connect only sensors with the same type code. The type
code is printed on every device.
Release mode
In release mode, ultrasonic sensors of different types can be individually activated and deac-
tivated without mutual feedback via the higher-level controller. The sensor is only active if a
signal to U
B
is issued at pin 5. Inactive sensors relay the most recent measured and valid values
to the controller.
Throughbeam mode
In throughbeam mode, the range of an ultrasound application can be increased. To do this, sen-
sors of the same type are used in pairs and function as emitters and receivers.
NOTE
Throughbeam mode is only possible with devices of the same type
In throughbeam mode, all connected sensors must have the same power and range. In
throughbeam mode, connect only sensors with the same type code. The type code is
printed on every device.
