IO-Link
7. IO-Link
The sensors can exchange parameters and process data via IO-Link. The parameters can be used to make
many additional settings on the device. The process data transmit cyclical data and condition monitoring.
To this end, the sensor is connected to a suitable IO-Link master (see product detail page/complementary
products).
The interface protocol and the IODD can be found at www.wenglor.com in the download area for the respec-
tive product.
7.1 Settings via IO-Link/Parameters
The functions described in the following section can be set acyclically via IO-Link/parameters.
7.1.1 Sensor Functions
Function
Possible Settings
Default
Measuring mode
Speed
The sensor is optimized for fast applications.
Precision
The sensor is optimized for high-accuracy applications.
Precision Plus
The sensor is optimized for high-accuracy applications and even
higher sensitivity to low signals.
NOTE!
The technical data resulting from the various modes are
specified in
“3.4 Mode-Dependent Data” on page 10
.
Precision
Detection mode
First Object
The signal reflected by an object that is within the working range and
closest to the sensor is used.
Last Object
The signal reflected by an object that is within the working range and
farthest from the sensor is used.
Highest Intensity
The signal with the highest signal strength is used.
NOTE!
If an object is hidden by this function, a blind spot directly
behind the object results. The sensor cannot detect any
objects within this blind spot. The size of the blind spot
depends on the reflectance of the interfering object.
