The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
NOTE
Do not operate the teach-in button using sharp objects.
The sensing range can be adjusted via IO-Link. Please refer to the enclosed "IO-Link
photoelectric sensors" operating instructions for information.
In addition to manual setting the parameters on the device, the sensor can also be
configured via IO-Link.
Configuration via IO-Link can be performed in two ways:
•
Configuration via the SiLink box (required software: SOPAS ET from SICK)
To do this, connect the sensor to a computer via USB using the SiLink box.
•
Configuration via an IO-Link Master (PLC), e.g. SIG350
You can quickly and easily test and parameterize the connected products using the
SOPAS ET program (SICK Engineering Tool with graphic user navigation and convenient
visualization).
Details on configuration can be found in the detailed IO-Link description:

The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.

LED/fault pattern
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the light beam is
aligned to the object and the
object is within the set sensing
range
Green LED flashes
Digital outputs not according to
graphic
Digital outputs not according to
graphic
Yellow LED lights up, no object
in the path of the beam
Object is in the path of the
beam, yellow LED does not
light up
Notes on malfunctions can be found in the service data.
Cause
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Voltage interruptions
Sensor is faulty
IO-Link communication
IO-Link communication
Parameter settings made
manually, which deviate from
the standard
The sensing range distance is
too large
Distance between the sensor
and the object is too long or
sensing range is set too short
Technical
IO-Link.
Measures
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor

Initiate a factory reset. The
digital outputs are reset to
factory settings.
Reduce the sensing range
Increase the sensing range
