Additional functions
10.2 Output as alarm output
NOTE
This function can be congured only via IO-Link!
Additionally to the signal level warning (VMA) you can also congure the
Q1 or Q2 output for the switching signal "No measurement possible". The
output behavior can be inverted.
This function is especially useful if "Alarm function = Hold" has been set for
the sensor behavior. This allows you to determine whether the sensor actu-
ally is able to measure or a held value is output, even if an output signal is
provided at any time.
Set the alarm function via the index 104 . → See Page 46, Chapter 9.3.6.
10.3 Centering function
Use the centering teach to move the center of the switching window or
the center of the analog output scaling (12 mA/5 V) to the newly taught-in
position. A centering teach is possible for Q1 windows, Q2 windows, and an
analog output.
You can perform the centering function in the following ways:
• Teach via multifunctional input MF (→ Page 37, Chapter 8.7)
• Teach via IO-Link
• Value input via IO-Link.
→ For setting via IO-Link, see Page 41, Chapter 9.3.2, indexes 94, 95,
and 96.
The previously taught-in relative distance between near and far is retained.
The values for near and far must not be moved beyond the measuring
range of the sensor via a centering function. If the teach was not success-
ful, the Q1 and Q2 LEDs flash alternately.
