SmartLight control

Description

Using the SmartLight control feature, the following operations can be performed:

• Selection of the main LED functionality (segment inmodedicator, level mode, etc.)

• Adjustment of the brightness of the main LEDs

• Configuration of customer specific colors

• Advanced digital IO mode configuration

• Demo mode configuration

• Safe state configuration

• Status LED configuration

• Synchronization

Adjustment of the brightness of the main LEDs

The brightness of the main LEDs are adjustable as a global brightness functionality. All of the LEDs will be affected by this brightness. It is implemented as a two stage brightness modification.

The RGB value defined by the current color will be weighted by the brightness ISDU in the first stage. The intended use of the Brightness ISDU is setting the brightness once, in case the default value is not proper for the current application. There is a second stage for the brightness correction, which is called brightness reduction. This can be done via process data. The intended use of this brightness value is reducing the brightness temporary. With the temporary reduction the brightness can be reduced for example during the night shift.

Configuration of customer specific colors

The SmartLight has 8 pre-definied colors. It is possible to configure 7 additional colors as a user defined color.

Advanced IO mode configuration

The SmartLight can operate in advanced IO mode (SIO mode) where no IO-Link is available. There are default values configured for the SIO mode, but the user has the capability to overwrite them to have a customer specific SIO functionlaity. The desired signal functionality can be set via ISDU, or can be teached-in with a system command.

Demo mode configuration

Demo mode can be activated and deactivated with a system comment, to see the rich functionality of the device. It is intended to use for demo purpose. The demo sequence type can be selected from some pre-defined sequences.

Safe state configuration

In case of communication loss, the SmartLight will signalize the so called safe state condition. The upper LEDs will blink in red to signalize the lost of communication, when the safe-state signal is enabled.

Status LED configuration

The brightness of the status LED is configurable.

Output process data bitfield descriptions

Mode selection

The main LEDs can realize differnet indicators:

• Segment mode

• Level mode

• Runlight mode

• Flexible mode

• Ultimate mode The process data will be interpredet different, depending on the selected indicator mode.

Sync start

When a rising edge is detected on the Sync start bit, the SmartLight resets its internal state. This assures that the syncronised SmartLights start to work in the same state. The Sync start rising edge has to be generated once after a reset.

Sync impulse

When a rising edge is detected on the Sync impulse bit, the SmartLight resets its internal timer. It has to be generated cyclically in order to keep the SmartLights synchronised. The time period of the Sync impluse can be configured by the user. It´s recommended to set the values between 1 sec. and 15 sec., depending on the frequency of the synchronised parameters.

Brightness reduction

The global brightness of the main signal LEDs can be changed via ISDU and process data. The conbination of the two settings will result the brightness of the main signal LEDs.

ISDU

Global Brightness

The global brightness can be set as a percent value. Values from 0 to 100 are allowed.

Safe State

User Color X

The RGB code of the user defined color can be set. Each color component can have an 8 bit value.

Advanced Digital - XYZ

The state of the SmartLight (main LEDs, buzzer, and strobe light) is determined at all times by the current process data and the ISDU content. In advanced digital I/O mode, no IO-Link communication is active, therefore no process data is available. The ISDU values are still available in the device, as they are stored internally. To define the state of the SmartLight for each advanced digital I/O mode combination, a simulated process data value is stored in the corresponding ISDU. This allows the device, despite not receiving any actual process data, to use the stored value as if it were provided by the IO-Link master, ensuring that the SmartLight state is fully defined.
