There are several different ways to enter settings to the device:
• Via the integrated website, with which PNBC Sensors are equipped. This website functions independent of
the operating system and the sensor can be configured via a standard browser.
• The web-based configuration interface is not required for normal operation with a controller (the default IP
address is listed in section “6.1. Default Settings” on page 15).
• With the help of w-Teach configuration and display software which is available for download from
www.wenglor.com
• Using the function block for simplified incorporation of PNBC Sensors into an S7 controller – also available
for as a download
Settings are explained below based on the descriptive example provided by the website which is integrated
into the sensor.
Attention:
If the sensor is connected to a controller, the settings which have been selected via the website are overwritten
by the controller.
Accessing the Website
Start the web browser. Enter the sensor’s manually selected IP address to the address line in your browser and
press the enter key. In order to ensure that the browser displays the current settings on the website, the website
has to be automatically reloaded whenever changes are made. This setting must be changed in a browser-
specific manner which is described here using the Internet Explorer as an example. Select
