▶ 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.
The device parameters can be set via the IO-Link interface in the following ways, for example:
- Parameter setting via a suitable parameter setting software, e.g. ifm moneo|configure
• Parameter setting via a PLC
• Parameter setting via an IIoT application
Requirements for parameter setting via the IO-Link interface:
√ The Input Output Device Description (IODD) for the device in case of parameter setting via a parameter setting software, see documentation.ifm.com
√ The IO-Link interface description (PDF) for the device in case of parameter setting via a PLC or IIoT application, see documentation.ifm.com
√ An IO-Link master
▶ Connect the IO-Link master to the parameter setting software, the PLC or the IIoT application.
▶ Connect the device to a suitable free port of the IO-Link master.
▶ Set the port of the IO-Link master to the IO-Link operating mode.
▷ The device changes to the IO-Link mode.
▶ Change the parameter settings in the software.
▶ Write the parameter settings to the device.

Support for system integration and parameter setting via IO-Link:
→ Manual of the parameter setting software (e.g. moneo)
→ Explanations and startup packages at ifm.com/cnt/io-link-system-integration.
7.1 Parameter setting via the memory plug
A parameter set can be written to the device / can be recorded by the device via a memory plug (ifm storage module): www.ifm.com.

In order to allow for data to be written from the memory plug to the sensor, the sensor must have the factory setting.

If the sensor has been configured, the memory plug records the parameter set which can then be transferred to other sensors of the same type.
▶ Load a suitable parameter set (e.g. from a PC or from a sensor of the same type) to the memory plug.
▶ Connect the memory plug between sensor and socket.
▷ Sensor with factory setting:
When voltage is supplied, the parameter set is transferred from the memory plug to the sensor.
▷ Sensor with changed settings:
When voltage is supplied, the memory plug records the sensor's parameter set.
▶ Remove the memory plug.
▶ Put the unit into operation.
More information on the memory plug: → Documentation www.ifm.com.

| ▶ Select [Hi. T] or [Lo. T] to display the highest or lowest measured process value:[Hi. T] = max. value medium temperature[Lo. T] = min. value medium temperature | [Hi. T][Lo. T] |

With the system command [RESET_HI_TEMP], [Hi. T] can be reset.
With the system command [RESET_LO_TEMP], [Lo. T] can be reset.
With the system command [RESET_HI_LO_TEMP], [Hi. T] and [Lo. T] can be reset.
7.8.3 Read number of times the pressure limit is exceeded
| [HIPC]: Number of times the pressure limit is exceeded. HIPC counts how often the limit HIPS has been exceeded. The limit must be exceeded for at least 0.5 ms. [HIPS]: Setting of the threshold for the pressure limit counter. | [HIPC][HIPS] |

With the system command [RESET_HIPC], [HIPC] can be reset.

With the system command [RESET_HITC], [HITC] can be reset.

In case of a voltage interruption, the counter events of the last 10 minutes can be lost.
7.8.5 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 Int32 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 system commands [RESET_EVENT_HISTROY], [RESET_EVENT_COUTER].

In case of a voltage interruption, the events of the last 10 minutes can be lost.
7.9 Reset sensor / parameter
| Application reset [APPL]:The application reset resets all application-specific parameters that can be set or taught. The device identification parameters Application Specific Tag, Function Tag and Location Tag are retained. | [APPL] |

If IO-Link data storage is activated, this triggers a parameter update in the master. This writes the parameters configured in the master to the unit again. An application reset may therefore be ineffective.
| Back to Box [btb] The Back to Box Reset also resets all writeable unit identification parameters such as Application Specific Tag, Function Tag and Location Tag, as well as diagnosis and status parameters. | [btb] |

After the Back to box reset, the sensor suspends communication and measurement operation until the voltage is interrupted. The IO-Link data storage is not triggered.
