3.2.9 IO-Link
Overview
T
he safety light curtain can communicate with an IO-Link master via an IO-Link connec‐
tor, which is available as an accessory.
The following information can be output via IO-link:
•
Application diagnostic output status information
•
Device information and device status
•
Configuration of the device
•
Status of each individual light beam
•
Error history
•
Reasons for the last lockout
The following information can be controlled via IO-link:
•
LED signal behavior of the field indicator
•
Switching on and off of the integrated laser alignment aid
Complementary information
T
he safety light curtain must be supplied with voltage to enable communication with an
IO-Link master via the IO-Link connector.

3.2.10 Near Field Communication (NFC)
Overview
T
he receiver of the safety light curtainhas an integrated NFC interface for transmitting
diagnostic data of the protective device to an NFC-capable device.
The integrated NFC interface is intended for temporary use.
Diagnostic data
Y
ou can access the diagnostic data in any operational status of the protective device.
The following diagnostic data can be displayed in an NFC-capable device:
•
Device-specific information of the protective device, e.g. name, serial number, type
code
•
Information on configuration, e.g. whether the restart interlock is activated
•
Current status of the protective device, e.g. status of the OSSDs, quality of the
alignment
•
Error diagnostics with specification of the error code, error description, diagnostic
LED and error correction
An NFC-capable antenna is integrated behind the front screen of the safety light curtain
for transmitting the data. The area is marked with the NFC-symbol.

To be able to call up information for diagnostics and configuration, you need an NFC-
capable device, e.g. a smartphone and the SICK Safety Assistant app provided by SICK.
