9 Parameter setting
For parameter setting, a PC with IO-Link compatible software is required (→ 9.1)
or a memory plug with corresponding programming (→ 9.2)�
The parameters can be set prior to installation and setup of the unit or while in
operation�
Changing parameters during operation can influence the function of the
plant�
► Ensure that there will be no malfunctions in your plant�
The following subchapters describe the two different parameter setting options of
the unit�
9.1 Parameter setting via PC
For parameter setting an IO-Link software is necessary (e�g� "LINERECORDER
SENSOR" or "ifm Container")� The USB IO-Link interfaces with the order no�
E30396 or E30390 are available for the connection of the sensor via the USB
interface of a computer�
The catalogue of the available DTM objects, the IO-Link Device Description
(IODD) and the FDT service program "ifm Container" can be downloaded

Medium to be detected: [HIGH] for water and water-based media
[LOW] for oils and oil-based media (→ 4)�
Prob *

Type of probe used (single probe or coaxial probe)�
For [MEdi] = [LOW] the option [COAX] has to be set (→ 4)�
OU2 Output function for the analogue output (OUT2): current or voltage output:
I = 4���20 mA / U = 0���10 V, increasing or decreasing curve�
FOU2 Response of OUT2 in case of a fault�
dFo Delay time for the output to pass into the state defined with [FOU2]; is only
effective in case of a fault�
