IO-Link RS Components 4-wire DC 4th Generation Tripleshield sensors, built to the highest quality standards, are available in two different housing sizes. • M18-cylindrical threaded barrel housing for flush or non-flush installation with 4-pole M12 connector or 2 metre PVC cable.
• Digital output 1: pin 4, black • Digital output 2: pin 2, white The transmission rate of M18 and M30 sensors is 38.4 kBaud (COM2). Once connected to the IO-Link port, the master has remote access to all the parameters...
Thanks to IO-Link it is possible to see the manufacturer information and part number (Service Data) of the device connected, starting from V1.1. Thanks to the data storage feature it is possible to replace the device and automatically have all the information stored in the old device transferred into the replacement unit.

2.4.1.2. Switchpoint mode: The Switchpoint mode setting can be used to create more advanced output behaviour. The following switchpoint modes can be selected for the switching behaviour of SSC1 and SSC2 Disabled SSC1 or SSC2 can be disabled individually, but this will also disable the output if it is selected in the input selector (the logic value will always be “0”).

2.4.1.3. Hysteresis Settings In SSC1 and SSC2 - single point mode and in windows mode the hysteresis can be set between 1 and 100 % of the actual switching value. Standard settings depend on the M18 Flush M18 Non- flush M30...

2.6. Sensor Specific adjustable parameters Besides the parameters directly related to output configuration, the sensor also have various internal parameters useful for setup and diagnostics. 2.6.1. Selection of local or remote adjustment It is possible to select how to set the sensing distance by either selecting the Trimmer or Teach-by-wire using the external input of the sensor, or to disable the potentiometer to make the sensor tamperproof.
2.6.5. Safe limits The sensor has a built-in in safety margin that helps to adjust the sensing up to the set points with an additional safety margin. The factory settings are twice the standard hysteresis of the sensor e.g. for a CA19CAN… sensor with a hysteresis of 15% the safety margin is set to 30%.
2.6.8.Quality of Teach QoT The quality of Teach value lets the user know how well the actually the tteach procedure was carried out, in terms of the margin between the actual setpoints and the environmental influences on the sensor. The value for QoT can vary from 0 … 255 %. The QoT value is updated after every Teach procedure.
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 maximum hours that can be recorded are 2 147 483 647 hours: this value can be read from an IO- Link master. 2.7.2.
2.7.11. Maintenance event counter The sensor logs how many times the event counter has asked for maintenance.The maximum number of events to be recorded is 2 147 483 647. This parameter is updated once per hour and can be read from an IO-Link master. 2.7.12.

6. IODD file and factory setting 6.1. IODD file of an IO-Link device All features, device parameters and setting values of the sensor are collected in a file called I/O Device Description (IODD file). The IODD file is needed in order to establish communication between the IO-Link master and the sensor.
