7.3Operating Modes
The ejector can be operated in four operating modes:
• Direct connection to inputs and outputs (standard I/O = SIO)
• Connection via the communication line (IO-Link)
• “Manual mode,” operation using the ejector buttons
• Setup mode
By default, the ejector always runs in SIO mode, but it can be switched in and out of IO-Link mode by an
IO-Link master at any time.
In addition to automatic operation, you can also use the keys on the ejector to change the operating state
and switch to manual mode.
The ejector is always parameterized in automatic mode.

This is the normal operating mode, in which the product is operated by the system control unit.
A differentiation is made between SIO mode and IO-Link mode.
The operating mode may be changed from automatic operation to manual operation using the buttons.
The ejector is always parameterized in automatic mode.

higher-level controller using the buttons on the operating panel. In this operating mode, the “H1” and
“H2” LEDs both flash.
