Set sensors¶
Open connected devices
The connected devices are opened via the rail on the left side.
The overview lists all connected IO-Link sensors. Unknown sensors are marked in red. In this case, you must upload the corresponding device-specific IODD.
Connected IO-Link devices to IO-Link master
Note
For unknown sensors the necessary IODDs can be downloaded from the manufacturer or from https://ioddfinder.io-link.com/.
Configure IO-Link sensor¶
- Click on the desired sensor. A menu opens in which you can select the settings for each sensor.
Sensor-specific settings
General information¶
General information is provided in the GENERAL area. Here you can also delete the IODD stored on the device. You can use the three-point menu to change the configuration of pin 2 and pin 4 of the IO-Link port.
Area "General Information "
Parameters (IODD) / Configuration of the sensors¶
In the Parameters (IODD) area, you receive information about the sensor and can configure it in many ways.
Note
For information on the specific configuration of the connected IO-Link devices, see the sensor operating manual.
Area "Parameter (IODD) ".
Data selector¶
In the Data selector area, you can specifically define for each sensor which data is to be captured by the CMTK and, for example, written to the database or communicated via MQTT. By default, all process data is captured. Status bits / Boolean values are disabled by default. The selection and number of data directly affects the retention period of data in the database on the device.
