4 Function
Measuring cell:
- The system pressure is measured by a ceramic capacitive measuring system.
- The sealing of the ceramic measuring cell is free of elastomers and thus maintenance-free.
- The medium temperature is recorded on the back of the ceramic measuring cell: Accuracy calculation formula → Data sheet.
Signal transmission:
- The unit can be operated in SIO mode (standard input-output) or in IO-Link mode. The basic operation mode is SIO. When connected to an IO-Link master, the unit automatically switches to IO-Link mode. An additional manual switching is not required.
SIO-Mode:
- Analogue signal measured pressure value 4-20 mA (pin 2).
• Switching information (pin 4).
IO-Link mode:
• Measured pressure value
• Measured temperature value
- Exceeding and falling below the limits of the measuring range
- Device status
- Switching information
- Parameter setting
• Device diagnostics (events)
4.1 IO-Link
IO-Link is a communication system for connecting intelligent sensors and actuators to automation systems. IO-Link is standardised in the IEC 61131-9 standard.

General information on IO-Link at io-link.ifm

Input Output Device Description (IODD) with all parameters, process data and detailed descriptions of the device at documentation.ifm.com
IO-Link offers the following advantages:
• Interference-free transmission of all data and process values
• Parameter setting in the running process or presetting outside the application
- Parameters for identifying the connected devices in the system
• Additional parameters and diagnostic functions
• Automatic backup and restore of parameter sets in case of device replacement (data storage)
- Logging of parameter sets, process values and events
• Device description file (IODD - Input Output Device Description) for easy project planning
• Standardised electrical connection
- Remote maintenance
4.2 IO-Link properties of the sensor
4.2.1 Description IO-Link interface
A description of the IO-Link interface can be found at www.io-link.ifm
The sensor provides the internal unit temperature as a readable parameter for diagnostic purposes.
4.2.2 Internal unit temperature
The internal temperature of the sensor can be read via the IO-Link channel. Measuring range: -25...155°C (-13...311°F), resolution 1°C (1.8°F), precision +/- 5°C (9°F). Information on measuring range and accuracy → Data sheet.
4.2.3 Counter overpressure events
The unit has a counter for overpressure events. The value above which a pressure is considered to be overpressure can be set.
- HIPC = Counter overpressure events.
HIPC counts how often the limit HIPS has been exceeded.
The limit must be exceeded for at least 0.5 ms.
• HIPS = Threshold overpressure.
The [HIPC] can be reset with the reset command [Reset_HIPC] and the [Back-to-Box]. See: Reset sensor / parameter ( → ☐ 31)

In case of an interruption of the supply voltage, a maximum of the events of the last 10 minutes can be lost, as these are summed up in the background and have not yet been permanently transferred to the memory.
4.2.4 Optical localisation
The sensor can be localised in the plant via the commands [Blinken_An] / [Blinken_Aus]. When the command is used, the switching status LEDs flash and [IO-L] is displayed.
4.2.5 Event logging
With IO-Link, the sensor has two logging mechanisms:
• Event History (Parameter [Event_History])
• Event Counter (Parameter [Event_Counter])
The last 20 events that occurred are recorded in the event history. As long as no event has occurred, the value [noEvent] or [0] appears in this list.
The event counter (limited to 232 events) can be used to read how often a specific event has occurred at the sensor.
The event counter and the event history can be reset using the IO-Link commands [RESET_EVENT_HISTROY], [RESET_EVENT_COUTER] and [Back-to-Box].
See: Reset sensor / parameter ( → ☐ 31)
4.2.6 Operating hours counter
In the parameter [operating_hours], the hours are counted during which the sensor was active (cannot be reset).
4.2.7 Switching cycles counters
The sensor counts the switching cycles at output 1 and output 2 in the [OUT_Counter] parameter and stores this value every full 60 minutes.
A reset is possible with [Reset_to_zero] or the [Back to Box] reset.
See: Reset sensor / parameter ( → ☐ 31)
4.3 Analysis of the measuring cell
The ceramic capacitive measuring cell is a reliable and overloadable measuring system that requires no filling liquid.
The device permanently monitors its status and that of the measuring cell.
If the measuring cell is damaged, the analogue output switches to a defined state, adjustable via [FOU2], and this is also reported via the display on the device and the IO-Link interface.
Depending on the damage and the medium, the sensor will issue different messages:
- With conductive media such as water, the sensor will output [CELL Err] or another error message.
• In non-conductive media such as air or oil, the sensor will output [CELL Err].
A medium that penetrates very quickly can also cause the electronics to fail, thus preventing diagnostics.
The functionality of the measuring cell diagnostics [CELL Err] is deactivated ex works.


The parameter [cELd] can only be selected via IO-Link communication and is available from device status AB.
▶ For the device status see the labelling on the device. The position of the labelling varies depending on the device.
Fig. 1: Device status example:
Signalling on the sensor:
• [Cell] and [Err] are shown alternately in the display.
Output to the controller:
• The event [0x8CDF] is output. IO-Link ( → ☐ 8)

IO-Link masters interrupt communication with the device after a device fault.
▶ Event messages should therefore be saved.
4.4 Defined state in case of a fault
If a fault is detected, the analogue output passes into a defined state.

For error signalling (On = 21.5 mA, Off = 3.5 mA)
▶ Read parameters via IO-Link or contact the manufacturer
4.5 Zero point behaviour of the device display and outputs

Due to permissible device tolerances and temperature changes, the sensor can show a deviation from the zero point when no pressure is applied. To prevent this, the device is equipped with functions that keep the measured signal more stable at the process value 0.
Zero point behaviour of the device display and switching output:

Fig. 2: Device display and switching output
1: Process value
2: Sensor output signal with hysteresis (green)
3: Ideal measurement signal (red)
4: System pressure
5: Zero point stabilisation → Data sheet
The first process value that is shown on the device display and can be evaluated via the switching output is determined by the zero point stabilisation.
The switching output cannot be configured within the zero point stabilisation.

The zero point stabilisation is specified in \% of the span → Data sheet.
Zero point behaviour of the analogue output and communication via IO-Link:

Fig. 3: Analogue output and communication via IO-Link
1: Process value
2: Sensor output signal (green)
3: Ideal measurement signal (red)
4: System pressure
5: Zero point stabilisation → Data sheet
6: 0.5 x zero point stabilisation → data sheet
The first process value that can be evaluated via the analogue output and the IO-Link communication is indicated by the half zero point stabilisation (6).
In the further range of the zero point stabilisation (5), the output signal of the sensor runs at a larger gradient angle.

The zero point stabilisation is specified in \% of the span → Data sheet.
4.6 Operating modes
The operating mode is defined by the wiring ( → Electrical connection) and automatically recognised by the unit.
4.6.1 2-wire operation
| OUT2 (pin 2) | Analogue signal proportional to pressure 4...20 mA or 20...4 mA |
4.6.2 3-wire operation
| OUT1 (pin 4) | 2 possibilities (automatic changeover)switching signal for pressure limit Communication via IO-Link |
| OUT2 (pin 2) | 3 possibilities (manual changeover in the menu)switching signal for pressure limit Analogue signal proportional to pressure 4...20 mAAnalogue signal proportional to pressure 20...4 mA |
4.7 Switching function (only for 3-wire operation)
OUTx changes its switching status if it is above or below the set switching limits (SPx, rPx). The following switching functions can be selected:
- Hysteresis function / normally open: [OUx] = [Hno] (→ Figure hysteresis function).
- Hysteresis function / normally closed: [OUx] = [Hnc] (→ Figure hysteresis function).
First the set point (SPx) is set, then the reset point (rPx) with the requested difference.
- Window function / normally open: [OUx] = [Fno] (→ Figure window function).
- Window function / normally closed: [OUx] = Fnc
- The width of the window can be set by means of the difference between SPx and rPx. SPx = upper value, rPx = lower value.

Fig. 5: Window function
| P = | System pressure |
| HY = | Hysteresis |
| FE = | Window |
4.8 Analogue output
The device provides an analogue signal proportional to the pressure. Within the measuring range the analogue signal is between 4...20 mA. The measuring range is scalable:
• [ASP2] defines at which measured value the output signal is 4 mA.
• [AEP2] defines at which measured value the output signal is 20 mA.

Minimum distance between [ASP2] and [AEP2] = 20 % of the final value of the measuring range.
If the measured value is outside the measuring range or in the event of an internal error, the current signal indicated in the following figure is provided. The analogue signal in case of an error is adjustable:
- [FOU] = On defines that the analogue signal goes to the maximum value (21.5 mA) in case of an error.
- [FOU] = Off defines that the analogue signal goes to the minimum value (3.5 mA) in case of an error.

4.9 Customer-specific calibration
The customer-specific calibration changes the curve of measured values compared to the real measured values (zero-point calibration and correction of gradient). Keep the following order:
▶ Carry out zero calibration [coF] in the range -5%....+5% of final value of the measuring range (VMR).
▶ Carry out calibration factor [CGA] in the range -5%....+5% of final value of the measuring range (VMR). The previous zero point calibration remains.
Example: Change zero point [coF]

A: Output signal
D: Pressure
MEW: Final value of the measuring range
V0: Curve of measured values at factory setting
V1, Changed curve of measured values
V2:
Example: Change in gradient [CGA]

A: Output signal
D: Pressure
MEW: Final value of the measuring range
V0: Curve of measured values at factory setting

V2:
The change in the gradient is indicated in per cent.
▶ Enter analogue start [ASP] and [AEP] manually or via teach function.

If the gradient [CGA] and the offset [coF] are changed, the [ASP] and the [AEP] are influenced.

▶ To avoid dead space adhere to the dimensions: L < D
1: Leakage port
5.3 Ventilation diaphragm
5.3.1 Function ventilation diaphragm
▷ The ventilation diaphragm enables the relative pressure measurement since barometric and temperature-dependent pressure fluctuations between the measuring cell and the environment are compensated for.
The ventilation diaphragm is protected against damage by a screwed filter cover with circumferential ports.
For a correct functioning of the ventilation diaphragm please take the following into account:
▶ Remove soiling and cleaning agents immediately using plenty of lime-deficient splash water.
If the sensor is in a cooling stage:
▶ Avoid contact of the ventilation diaphragm with liquids to avoid negative pressure in the measuring system (resulting in a slightly falsified measured value) and additional strain on the diaphragm.
5.3.2 Orientation filter cover
Select the installation situation so that the filter cover is horizontal and the condensate can drain off due to gravity.

▶ Ideal orientation (1):
The filter cover is in a horizontal position.
The ventilation diaphragm (2) in the filter cover is in a vertical position.
▶ Maximum inclination of the filter cover: 30° (3)
5.3.3 Replace filter cover
| (1) Exchange of the filter cover incl. ventilation diaphragm (E30483). |
| In difficult environmental conditions or an installation situation that does not correspond to the ideal alignment (1), the following accessories can be used to protect the ventilation diaphragm: |
| (2) Replace the filter cover with a closed version (E30148)*. |
| (3) Replace the filter cover with a version with a tube fitting and a vent tube that ends in a protected and dry area (E30139). |
| (4) Set of accessories (E30467) with integrated replacement diaphragm (ventilation diaphragm). Recommended for chemically demanding applications in external cleaning. Function: (→ Installation instructions E30467). |


▶ Avoid soiling and moisture during the exchange.
▶ Clean the thread carefully and without residues.
▶ Do not damage the adhesive surface for the diaphragm on the sensor.
▶ Observe the orientation of the filter cover ( → Installation instructions E30139 / E30467).

*When using the closed filter cover, there is no more pressure compensation of the measuring cell. This results in measurement deviations caused by:
• Fluctuations of the atmospheric pressure.
- Fluctuations in the internal pressure of the unit with temperature changes.

9 Parameter setting
Parameter setting can be carried out via the IO-Link interface or via the operating elements on the unit.
Parameters can be set before installation or during operation.

If you change parameters during operation, this will influence the function of the plant.
▶ Ensure that there will be no malfunctions in your plant.
During parameter setting the unit remains in the operating mode. It continues to monitor with the existing parameter until the parameter setting has been completed.

Depending on the parameter setting, the parameters available in the menu may change.
