• Digital output 1: pin 4, black • Digital output 2: pin 2, white The transmission rate of 2377276 and 2377277 sensors is 38.4 kBaud (COM2). Once connected to the IO-Link port, the master has remote access to all the parameters of the...
Access to internal parameters allows the user to see how the sensor is performing, for example by reading the internal temperature. Event Data allows the user to get diagnostic information such as an error, an alarm, a warning or a communication problem.
2.4. Output Parameters Seven sensing functions and 4 application functions can be selected. These values can be independently adjusted and used as source for the Switching Output 1 or 2; in addition to those, an external input can be selected for SO2. After selecting one of these sources, it is possible to configure the output of the sensor with a SCTL55 or an IO-Link master, following the seven steps shown in the Switching Output setup below.
2.4.1. Sensor front The Background Suppression sensor emits light towards a target and measure the position of the light reflected from the target. If the measured position value is equal to or less than a predefined position for the target, the sensor changes the output state. The measured sensing distance is almost independent of the target colour 2.4.1.1.

Two point mode The switching information changes when the distance measured passes the threshold defined in setpoint SP1. This change occurs only with decreasing distance measured. The switching information also changes when the distance measured passes the threshold defined in setpoint SP2.
2.4.1.3. Hysteresis Settings The hysteresis can be set automatically or manually for SSC1 and manually only for SSC2. The hysteresis is set in mm for SP1 and SP2. Note: When trimmer is selected, the default hysteresis is Automatic. Automatic hysteresis: Automatic hysteresis will guarantee stable operation for most applications.

“Gated SR-FF” function The function is designed to: e.g. start or stop signal for a buffer conveyor dependent on the fill status of the adjacent feeder or receiver conveyor using only two interconnected sensors. Symbol Truth table X – no changes to the 2.4.4.
2.4.4.1.3. Turn Off delay (T-off) The deactivation of the switching output is delayed until after to the time of removal of the target in the front of the sensor, as like shown in the figure below. Presence nce of N.O. Toff Toff Toff...
2.4.4.1.6. One shot trailing edge Similar in function to the one shot leading edge mode, but in this mode the switching output is changed on the trailing edge of the activation as shown in the figure below. This function is Presence of N.O.
2.4.7. Application functions 4 unique application functions can be selected via IO- Link only. • Speed and Length. • Pattern Recognition. • Divider. • Object and Gap Monitoring. 2.4.7.1. Speed and Length This function is designed to monitor the length of an object as well as the speed of a conveyor belt by means of only two interconnected sensors.
b) Select “Sensor role” -> “Trigger Sensor” c) IO-Link Parameter Set-up is finished for the Trigger Sensor 9) Main sensor: (calculates Speed and Length and makes data available Reset the sensor using “Restore factory Settings” (if already performed in point 5 then this can be skipped). Select “Speed and Length”...

4) Switch on the power to the sensors 5) Restore the sensors to factory settings using the SCTL55 or IO-Link master. 6) Align the two sensors so the light beams will be detecting the edge of the target at the same time.
2.4.7.3. Divider function This function allows e.g. the user to set up a number of counts to be performed before changing the output. By default, this value is set to 1 and each activation causes the output to change. When the value is set to a higher value e.g. 10 then the sensor will give output every 10th detection, the sensor will count at the trailing edge of the object.
2.4.7.4. Object and Gap Monitoring This function is designed to monitor that the length of an objects and the gap between the following object on a conveyor belt are within certain limits. The stand alone sensor gives a signal if the size of the object is too small, the objects overlap each other or if the gap between two objects are too small for the following processes.

b) Enter the maximum time the Gap will be present in the menu “Object and Gap monitor” -> “Gap maximum time” between 10 … 60 000 ms (default value is 500) ms, e.g. 130 ms. As a help the gap time can be read from the “Object and Gap monitor” -> “Gap time”.
2.5. Sensor Specific adjustable parameters Besides the parameters directly related to output configuration, the sensor also have various internal parameters useful for setup and diagnostics. 2.5.1. Selection of local or remote adjustment It is possible to select how to set the sensing distance by either selecting the “Trimmer Input” or “Teach-by-wire”...
2.5.7. Event configuration Temperature events transmitted over the IO-Link interface are turned off by default in the sensor. If the user wants to get information about critical temperatures detected in the sensor application, this parameter allows the following 4 events to be enabled or disabled: •...
2.5.9. Quality of Teach QoT The quality of Teach value lets the user know how well the actually the teach procedure was carried out, evaluating the relation between the following parameters: TP2, TP1, Hysteresis and Safe Limits. The value for QoT can vary from 0 … 255 %. The QoT value is updated after every Teach procedure Examples of QoT are listed in the table Quality of Teach values...
2.5.13. LED indication The LED indication can be configured in 3 different modes: Inactive, Active or Find my sensor. Inactive: The LEDs are turned off at all times Active: The LEDs follow the indication scheme in 5.1. Find my sensor: The LEDs are flashing alternating with 2Hz with 50% duty cycle in order to easily locate the sensor.
2.6. Teach procedure by use of SCTL55 or an IO-Link master The setpoints can be set-up using a teach procedure, this ensures that the setpoints a set at an optimal value taking into consideration safe limits and hysteresis. 2.6.1. External Teach (Teach-by-wire) NB! This function works in Single point Mode, and only for SP1 in SSC1.

2.7. Diagnostic parameters 2.7.1. Operating hours The sensor has a built-in counter that logs every hour in which the sensor has been operational. The actual number of operating hours can be read through the SCTL55 or an IO-Link master. 2.7.2. Number of power cycles [cycles] The sensor has a built-in counter that logs every time the sensor has been powered-up.
NOTE! The temperature measured by the sensor will always be higher than the ambient temperature, due to internal heating. The difference between ambient temperature and internal temperature is influenced by how the sensor is installed in the application. If the sensor is installed in a metal bracket the difference will be lower than if the sensor is mounted in a plastic one.
