Interfaces 6 Interfaces 6.1 Basic Principles of IO-Link Communication The ejector is operated in IO-Link mode to enable intelligent communication with a controller. The IO-Link communication takes place using cyclical process data and acyclical ISDU parameters. The ejector’s parameters can be set remotely using IO-Link mode. In addition, the energy and process con- trol (EPC) feature is available.
• Another option for communication is the "Schmalz ControlRoom" control and service app. This per- mits not only read access, but also active reconfiguration of the parameters via NFC. The Schmalz ControlRoom app is available at the Google Play Store.

Description of Functions 7.2 Operating Modes 7.2.1 Automatic Operation Once the ejector is connected to the power supply, it is ready for operation and enters automatic opera- tion mode. This is the normal operating mode, in which the ejector is operated by the system controller. The operating mode may be changed from automatic to manual mode using the buttons.
Description of Functions Activating and Deactivating Manual Suction Activating Manual Suction ü The ejector is in "manual mode". The "H1" and "H2" LEDs flash. 4 Press the button to activate "Suction" mode. ð The suction LED lights up. ð The ejector begins to suck. Deactivating Manual Suction ü...
Description of Functions 7.2.4 Restricted Mode The supply voltage is monitored by the electronics system. If the supply voltage falls below approx. 19.2 V, this is indicated by an error message. It cannot be guaranteed that the ejector will operate as intended below this voltage threshold.
Description of Functions 7.4 Calibrating the Sensors [0x0002] Since the sensors installed in the ejector are subject to variants based on the manufacturing process, we recommend calibrating the sensors after installation. In order to calibrate the ejector, the system's pneu- matic circuits must be open to the atmosphere. A zero offset is only possible in the range of ±3 percent of the end value of the measuring range.
Description of Functions 7.5.2 Control The ejector switches off vacuum generation when the switching point H1 is reached and switches it back on when the vacuum falls below the hysteresis point (H1-h1). The switch point evaluation for H1 follows the control function. This setting is particularly recommended for airtight workpieces. In this mode, the control function is set to [on].
Description of Functions 7.6.3 Externally Time-Controlled Blow-Off In this mode, the blow-off function is set to [E-t]. The blow-off pulse is triggered externally by the "Blow-off" signal/command. The "Blow-off" valve is acti- vated for the specified time [tbL]. A longer input signal does not increase the blow-off duration. The "Blow-off"...
Description of Functions 7.9 Rotating the Display [0x004F] To allow different installation positions, the orientation of the display can be rotated by 180° by changing the parameter [dPY] in the configuration menu or via IO-Link. The factory setting is [5td]. This corresponds to the standard configuration. To rotate the display by 180°, select the parameter setting [rot].

Description of Functions 7.11.4 Restricting Access with Extended Device Access Locks [0x005A] The Extended Device Access Locks gives you the following options: • Block all NFC access or restrict it to read-only functions. The NFC lock using the extended device ac- cess locks parameter has a higher priority than the NFC PIN.
Description of Functions 7.13 Counters The ejector has three internal, non-erasable counters and three erasable counters. Counters 1 [Cc1] and [Ct1] increase with every valid "Suction" signal pulse, and thus count the ejec- tor's suction cycles. Counters 2 [Cc2] and [Ct2] count the suction valve's switching cycles, and counters 3 [cc3] and [Ct3] count the CM events.
Description of Functions 7.14 Displaying the Software Version [0x0017] The software version indicates the software currently running on the internal controller. The system firmware can be updated using the “Firmware Update” profile defined by IO-Link. If neces- sary, this will also update the firmware for the valve module. The PD bit In Byte 1.2 signals when a more recent version is available in the supply module.
Description of Functions The currently selected data set is displayed in the parameter data under “Production Setup”. This data set corresponds to the current parameters the ejector is working with, which can be viewed using the menu. Displaying the parameter data set (P-0 to P-3) currently in use during IO-Link operation: 4 Select the main menu using the button.

Description of Functions The measurement value for the leakage rate and the related quality assessment in percent are reset at the start of every suction cycle and constantly updated during the cycle as moving averages. The values there- fore remain stable until after the suction cycle is complete. Measurement of Leakage The control function interrupts suction as soon as it reaches the limit value SP1.
