Product Description General description The versions of the vacuum switch and pressure switch in the VSi series are referred to only as the switch below. The VSi-series switch can be operated in two operating modes. Users can choose between direct connection to discrete inputs (standard I/O = SIO mode) or connection through the communication line (IO link Class A).

OUT1 Black signal output 1 (SIO) when using a Schmalz connection line (see accessories) IO-Link commissioning When operating the switch in IO-link mode (digital communication), the supply voltage, Gnd and the C/Q communication cable must be directly connected with the corresponding connectors of an IO-Link master with Ports IO-Link Class A.
VSi VP8: 14 bit signed pressure in millibar (pressure positive, vacuum negative) A detailed description of all device parameters can be found in the data dictionary for the switch, which can be downloaded together with the IODD as a ZIP archive from www.schmalz.com. 16 | EN www.schmalz.com...
The switch functions as a passive NFC tag which can be read by a reader, e.g. smart phone or tablet. With the NFC applications by Schmalz, the information is displayed using a mobile website in the browser, therefore an app is not required. The smartphone must only have NFC activated and be connected to the internet.
23.6 11.6 - 1000 mbar With version V, the vacuum value, i.e. the vacuum compared to the ambient air pressure, is displayed as a positive; in version P10, it is displayed based on the pressure. 18 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.00956/01...
VP8 „InC“ (inconsistent) means that the value collides with the current setting of another parameter, e.g. rP1> SP1 To cancel the editing process, both buttons can be simultaneously pressed at any time. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 19...

Write accesses from the IO-link and NFC interfaces have a higher priority than the operating menu, but generally last only a few seconds. However, if editing is attempted at the same time using the menu, this will be rejected with the display “LoC.” 20 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.00956/01...
The menu can be called up and used again afterward. If parameters are changed using one of the other interfaces, i.e. via the IO-link or NFC, the menu will also close. The instruction “dAt” will then appear for two seconds. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 21...

The display cycle returns to the vacuum display after a complete cycle or can be canceled at any time by pressing any button.

(normally closed). A change in the switching point logic from NO to NC causes a logical inversion of the electrical switch outputs, the switching point bits in the IO-link process data and the orange LED display(s) on the switch. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 27...

Values are considered “bigger” when they are further from zero and as “smaller” when they are closer to zero. The following diagram shows the switching point behavior using the two-point mode as an example: 28 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.00956/01...
(also see the data dictionary). If the resulting set of parameters are not valid in the new mode (e.g. hysteresis too big in window mode), it is not possible to switch the mode. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 29...
(e.g. a suction circuit with Schmalz SCP FS-RP-series ejectors). With such a system, the VSi can measure the vacuum leakage in millibars per second between two drainage cycles. The switching point is then activated when a leakage exceeds its maximum permissible setting, which can be configured.
The electrical characteristic of the switch outputs can be switched between PNP switching (“plus switching” or also 24V switching) and NPN switching (“zero switching” or also GND switching). Both switching outputs can always be set together, which does not affect the IO-link operation. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 31...
When a button is pressed or when an error message occurs, the display will be switched on again as normal. If you activate Eco mode using IO-Link, the display will immediately enter energy- saving mode. 32 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.00956/01...
SIO operating mode. It can only be canceled using IO-Link, not in the menu itself. The menu lock using the extended device access locks parameter has a higher priority than the menu PIN. That means that this lock also cannot be bypassed by entering a PIN. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 33...
Serial number and date code Version status of the hardware and firmware All character strings are available via the IO-link and NFC; only part numbers, serial numbers and the firmware revision can be retrieved from the menu. 34 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.00956/01...
This is also possible in the operating menu via the EF/rct menu item. The non-volatile storage of the counter statuses only occurs every 500 steps. That means that when the operating voltage is switched off, up to 499 steps of the counter are lost. 30.30.01.00956/01 www.schmalz.com EN | 35...
