6.2.3 Analog value scaling
• Allocation of the analog starting point of 4 mA/0 V and the analog end point of 20 mA/10 V to the measur-
ing range is freely selectable.

6.2.4 Remote Output
General Explanation
• If the sensor is operated with IO-Link (pin 4), the free output (pin 2) can be used for control signals.
• The output can be configured as a switching output or as an analog output.
• In this way, the need for an additional output at the controller is eliminated and external components can
be switched by the sensor (e.g. a lamp) or actuated by means of an analog control signal (U/I) (e.g. a
valve).
Prerequisite
• The sensor must be operated via IO-Link.
Procedure
• See figures 1 and 2 below with regard to wiring and connection.
• Setup via IO-Link in order to specify whether pin 2 is a remote analog output (U/I) or a remote switching
output.
• The controller transmits the signal intended for the external component via IO-Link.
• The sensor transmits the signal to pin 2 (analog or switching output) and forwards it.
• The external component is controlled by the sensor’s output. No additional output is required at the con-
troller.
• The analog output can be scaled from 0 ... 1000 (0 = 4 mA / 0 V, 1000 = 20 mA / 10 V).
