BAE IO-Link Sensor Amplifier

Product description

5.1

Functional description

The sensor amplifier works as a base unit for a
special series of capacitive sensors (half variants
without their own switching power amplifiers,
especially mini and high-temperature sensors).
The sensors detect objects or fill levels, for
example, and forward the information to the
amplifier. Operation in a control loop uses the
entire working range of the sensors. Further
signal processing takes place in a microprocessor.
5.2

IO-Link interface

This device has an IO-Link communication
interface that requires an IO-Link master for
operation. The IO-Link interface enables direct
access to sensor values and parameters and
offers the option to parameterize the device
during running operation.
You can find the device description files required
to configure the IO-Link device, as well as
detailed information on sensor values, diagnosis
information, and parameters at www.balluff.com.
5.3

Product overview

The software periodically records the control
voltage and uses it to generate a switching signal,
which is emitted at the output.
Principally, the parameters are available via IO-
Link. In standard mode, all settings are possible
on the device as well.

The following parameters can be adjusted:
• Switching power amplifier in SIO mode: PNP,
NPN, push-pull, N.O., N.C.
• Adjustment or automatic teach-in of the
sensor sensitivity to the switching distance
application
• Remotely triggered, situational teach-in of
sensor sensitivity to application (via a fourth
program line)
• Different switching modes with one or two
switchpoints
• Switch on and off times
• Dynamic operation
– Detection of only moved objects
– Permanent, slow background suppression
The amplifier is operated via menu settings
(buttons and display) or the IO-Link interface.
If connected to an IO-Link master, the display
shows IOL
.
Without IO-Link master, the device works in SIO
mode (serial input/output) and behaves like a
product with a standard output power amplifier.
The output is protected against overcurrent and
short circuits. The limit values for overcurrent
(approx. 200 mA) and for overheating are fixed
settings. An overcurrent/short circuit error is
indicated on the display with
english
Erroutp
.
