NFC (Near Field Communication) refers to a standard for wireless data transfer between different devices over short distances. The Compact terminal SCTSi functions as a passive NFC tag that can be read or writ- ten by a read or write device which has NFC activated, such as a smartphone or tablet. Access to the Com- pact terminal SCTSi parameters via NFC also works when the supply voltage is not connected.
Component Functions 6 Component Functions 6.1 Overview of Functions The SCTSi primarily consists of the bus module, the IO-Link class B master and between 1 and 16 ejectors.
