6 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 6.2 Measuring vacuum The VSi-HD series switch measures the vacuum relative to the ambient air pressure. Vacuum switch VSi-HD: The vacuum will be indicated as positive pressure difference. If there is excessive overpressure, an event is sent via IO-Link indicating that the measured value is outside of the valid range.
(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. 30.30.01.01740/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 19...
(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 leakage exceeds a certain configurable maximum permissible value.
The electrical characteristics of the switch outputs can be configured to either PNP switching (“plus switching” or 24V switching) or NPN switching (“zero switching” or GND switching). This setting applies for both switching outputs together and has no effect on IO-Link operation. 30.30.01.01740/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 21...
SIO operating mode. It can only be canceled using IO-Link, not in the menu itself. A menu lock using the 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. 22 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.01740/00...
The maximum and minimum vacuum and operating voltage values that were measured since the last switch-on are logged by the switch and can be queried. The maximum and minimum values can be reset via IO-Link during operation using the appropriate system commands. 30.30.01.01740/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 23...

The pneumatic connection of the switch must be ventilated for zero-point adjustment of the sensor. A zero offset is only possible by a maximum of 3% (FS) around the theoretical zero position. 30.30.01.01740/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 25...
