9.3.5 Transmit process values of the dimensioning of the object via PROFINET
The device can transmit the process values to a PLC via the PROFINET fieldbus. The process values are
displayed in the ifm Vision Assistant as output string as below:
Only one fieldbus can be active at a time. The fieldbus is adjustable (→ software manual).
In the output string the process values are separated by a semicolon. The output string is transferred to a
PLC in the displayed sequence.
Observe the following remarks for the transmission of the output string to a PLC:
● The output string is adjustable. The process values to be transferred can be set in the ifm Vision
Assistant.
● Bytes 0 to 7 are part of the output string. They are not displayed in the ifm Vision Assistant (see
screenshot above).
● Semicolons ";" in the output string are not transferred.
● Float values are converted into 16-bit integers before the transmission.
● All numerical values are converted into binary 16-bit integers before the transmission.
The output string is composed of the following:
star;1;0.104;0.088;0.109;+0.021;-0.011;+0.389;158;097;094;097;stop
