9.3.9 Transmit process values of the level measurement via TCP/IP
The device can transmit the process values to a PLC via the TCP/IP protocol. The process values are
displayed in the ifm Vision Assistant as output string as below:
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:
● Semicolons ";" in the output string are not transferred.
● All numerical values are converted into binary 16-bit integers before the transmission.
The output string is composed of the following (data type: ASCII):
star;0;00;7;+0.000;stop
Process value Unit Description
star Start string
0 Status of all ROIs (0 = bad, 1 = good)
00 ROI ID
ROI status:
0 = good
6 = overfill
7 = underfill
7 ROI status
