PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2 Product description General description The Schmalz compact terminal product described here is referred to below as the SCTMi. The SCTMi is a compact unit of multiple vacuum generators (ejectors). It can be used to handle different parts simultaneously and independently using just one vacuum system.

► When operating the IO-Link class A switch with an IO-Link master with a class B port, ensure compliant connection and potential separation. The maximum length of the electrical supply line is 20 meters in accordance with the IO-Link specification. 30.30.01.02629/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 23...
Black IO-Link Gray Actuator ground When using a Schmalz connection line (see accessories) Start of Operations When connecting the SCTMi, the supply voltage for the sensors (U ) and the C/Q communication cable must be directly connected to the connections of an IO-Link master. A separate port on the master must be used for each SCTMi.
You can find a detailed diagram of the process data in the data dictionary and IODD. The process data width changes depending on the number of SCTMi ejectors. There is a suitable IODD for up to 4, 8, 12 or 16 ejectors for each implementation. 30.30.01.02629/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 25...
“ParamDownloadStore” command (numerical value 5) once all the required parameters have been changed. The parameterization server function of the IO-Link master should be used to ensure that no data is lost when switching the bus module. 26 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.02629/00...
The SCTMi functions as a passive NFC tag that can be read by a reading device such as a 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 reading device must only have NFC activated and be connected to the internet.
The SCTMi primarily consists of the IO-Link bus module and between 2 and 16 ejectors. Depending on the function, it refers to the IO-Link bus module or the individual ejector. General SCTMi functions Independently of the ejectors, the SCTMi IO-Link bus module has the following functions: Device identification ...
NFC read accesses. As a result, read accesses from smart phones or tablets are rerouted e.g. to an address in the company's own intranet or a local server. 30.30.01.02629/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 29...
This system command is used to calibrate the sensors of all of the ejectors. A zero offset is only possible by a maximum of 3% (FS) around the theoretical zero position. The result of the calibration is reported by an IO-Link event. 30 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.02629/00...
When a PIN code is set between 001 and 999, the valid PIN must be entered for every subsequent write process using a mobile NFC device so that the SCTMi accepts the changes. ISDU Parameter Value Description PIN code PIN code for NFC write protection 30.30.01.02629/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 31...

To make the results more precise, the actual pressure level can be communicated to the SCTMi via the IO-Link process data. If no level is specified, the optimum operating pressure is assumed for the calculations. 38 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.02629/00...
Now, switch back to EPC-Select = 00 and wait until the bit EPC-Select-Acknowledge is reset to 0 by the SCTMi. The process for the next value pair, e.g. EPC-Select = 10, can then be performed in the same way, and so on. 30.30.01.02629/00 www.schmalz.com EN | 39...

The deletable counters can be reset to 0 during operation via IO-Link using the appropriate system commands. The non-volatile storage of the counter statuses only occurs every 256 steps. That means that when the operating voltage is switched off, up to 255 steps of the counter are lost. 44 | EN www.schmalz.com 30.30.01.02629/00...
