IO-Link – Industry 4.0 and IIoT ready
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – benefit from the data provided by present-day intelligent sensors to enhance process transparency, to improve efficiency and to cut down on costs. Find out here how IO Link will be of help.
Your benefit
- Flexible parameter adjustment of the sensor to the object and the application
- Targeted adjustment of the sonic beam width - narrow sonic beam for small openings and wide sonic beam for the detection of uneven objects
- Stable measurement results through adjustable filter functions
- Filtering the data enables the optimum compromise between speed and stability of the measurement signal - no filtering to detect fast objects and strong filtering for small, irregularly shaped objects
- Individual adjustment of sensor properties
- Activating or deactivating the teach-in command to prevent changes in the machine in the field or activating/deactivating the LEDs to avoid unwanted signals during machine operation
- Reliable measurement results even with sensors that are operated in close proximity to each other
- Configuration of the output signal behaviour or pin 5 to activate the synchronization function
- Time saving during teaching
- The teach-by-value function enables the central setting of the switching window or analog signal curve without the objects having to be placed in front of the sensor or the machine having to be put into operation
- Using additional data effectively
- IO-Link offers the acquisition of additional data such as distance signals received with a switching sensor and transmitted as digital values for error- and offset-free measurements or also object counting to assess the efficiency of the machine
- Predictive maintenance
- Capture advanced values such as signal strength, temperature or histograms to enable predictive maintenance and avoid downtime
- Fast sensor exchange
- Parameter server functions enable simple and fast sensor exchange and duplication of parameter data
Applications
Object detection and level measurement with individual sonic cone adjustment
On-site adjustment of the sonic beam width depending on container opening and filling medium. Optimal result with a narrow sonic beam through narrow openings or reliable detection of the part presence with a wide sonic beam, e.g. in the part bunker.
Object detection with stable signal thanks to filter function
Presence detection and degree of filling, e.g. of a bottle table. The adjustable filter function allows to find the optimal compromise between speed and stability of the measuring signal.
Diameter control with simple parameterization by teach-by-value
Monitoring of the diameter of rolls independent of color, reflection and transparency. With the teach-by-value function of IO-Link, the switching points of the same sensors can be easily parameterized in different machines without having to put the machines into operation.
Object detection directly next to each other
With the synchronization function it is possible to operate several sensors in close proximity to each other without the risk of disturbances. This means that the sonic beam of the sensors standing directly next to each other do not influence each other. The synchronization function can be triggered either by an external signal or by a command via IO-Link.
Object detection and counting
Reliable detection and counting of transparent bottles in a packaging system. The signal is transmitted over several meters to the PLC.
Flexible parameterization
Variable sonic beam
- Targeted adjustment of the sonic beam width
- Narrow sonic beam, for even smallest openings
- Large sonic beam, useful for averaging over big surface areas
- Setting via IO-Link
Switching points
- Free selection of the measured values at which the sensor is to switch
- Definition of a switching window
- Setting via IO-Link and qTeach
Adjustable measuring range
- Limit the measuring range to increase the resolution of the analog output
- Setting via IO-Link and qTeach
Adjustable filter function
- Filter function reduces noise for more stable measurement results
- Strong filtering, e.g. for the detection of bulk materials or for the best possible accuracy
- No filtering, e.g. for the detection of fast objects
- Setting via IO-Link
Configurable switching output
- Parameterization of the hysteresis (difference between switching point and reset point), adjustable via IO-Link
- Setting of the switching behavior (NO or NC) via IO-Link and qTeach
