A-GAGE EZ-ARRAY IO-Link Instruction Manual
During gain adjust mode, the display reads "
a "2" represents low contrast.)
If a sensing error occurs, the display reads "c" followed by a number that corresponds to the recommended corrective action (see
Troubleshooting and Error Codes).

2.4.3 Blanking Indicator

The Blanking indicator will be visible (ON) when the blanking feature is enabled. It appears as a period following the first digit of the
display.

2.4.4 Electronic Configuration Indicator

The Electronic Configuration indicator is ON when the sensor configuration is
defined by the IO-Link interface, and not the DIP switch.
When electronic configuration is enabled, the DIP switch is ignored.

2.4.5 Receiver Interface Status Indicators

The receiver has three status indicators: green/red STATUS, yellow COMM, and red ERROR. The following table lists the indicator states.

2.5 Receiver Gray (Remote Teach) Wire

The receiver gray (remote teach) wire is used to electronically emulate the receiver push button functions (see
Error Codes) via a process controller, to disable the DIP switches for security, or to provide a gate input to initiate sensor scanning.
Connect a normally open switch between the receiver's gray wire and dc common, or connect the gray wire to a digital input (PLC) and
pulse the wire as indicated in
Note: A low level is 0 to 2 volts and a high level is 10 to 30 volts or circuit open. Input impedance is 22k.
Remote TEACH/Gate in the determines the functionality of the receiver gray wire (see Remote TEACH/Gate in
• Disabled: The remote wire has no function (regardless of whether it is low or high). When the gray wire is disabled, the receiver
is in continuous scan mode; it begins a new scan immediately after updating the outputs from the previous scan. (Continuous
scan is used in most analog output applications and whenever continuous updating of the outputs is acceptable.) The gray wire
is always enabled when in DIP switch mode.
• Remote Teach: The gray wire provides the full Remote Teach functionality shown in
page 8.
• Alignment/Sensitivity: This mode is an abbreviated version of Remote Teach. It can perform the alignment and sensitivity
adjustment functions, but not the display inversion or DIP switch enable/disable functions.
Gate Mode options enable the gray wire to be wed as a gate input pulse, typically from a dc device such as an NPN-output photoelectric
sensor or a PLC discrete output.
• Gate - Active High - The receiver scans whenever the gate is pulled high.
• Gate - Active Low - The receiver scans whenever the gate is pulled low.
• Gate - Rising Edge - The receiver scans once for each low-to-high gate transition. (Multiple transitions cannot be faster than the
sensor's response for them to be reliably detected.)
