5: Transistor output / IO-Link

2: Counting pulse generator on the conveyor belt

4: Transistor output (e.g. to control a light indicator, horn, relay or fieldbus I/O device Profinet/AS-i etc.)

6: Signals depending on the selected switching function

The unit is not suited for environments with particular requirements on mechanical stability (e.g. shock/vibration).

The unit is intended for indoor use only.

▶ Observe the operating conditions (→ Technical data at www.ifm.com).

4.1 Supported sensors

Any suitable 3- and 2-wire sensors (e.g. inductive, optical, etc) are supported. The sensors must meet the following requirements:

• PNP switching
  • compatibility with 24 V supply voltage

The mark-to-space ratios of the sensor used must be taken into account.

5 Function

The device supports three adjustable counting modes. The counter can be permanently defined as an up counter or as a down counter or be flexibly switched between up and down counter via IN2: Function diagrams (counting behaviour) ➕ 9. A display indicates the current counter reading. The device generates output signals according to the parameter setting. Moreover, it provides the process data via IO-Link.

The device is designed for half-duplex communication. So the following options are possible:

• Remote display: reading and displaying the current counter readings
• Remote parameter setting: reading and changing the current parameter setting
  • IO-Link parameter setting: IO Device Description (IODD) → 8

5.1 Application as an IO-Link device

5.1.1 General information

The unit has an IO-Link communication interface which requires an IO-Link capable module (IO-Link master).

The IO-Link interface allows direct access to the process and diagnostic data and enables setting of the parameters of the unit during operation.

You will find further information about IO-Link and all the necessary information about the required IO-Link hardware and software at:

www.io-link.ifm

5.1.3 IO Device Description (IODD)

You will find the IODDs required for configuration of the IO-Link device as well as detailed information about the process data structure, diagnostic information and parameter addresses at documentation.ifm.com

5.2 Standard IO wiring

Switch points (standard IO mode) can also be used in combination with the standard inputs of a PLC. OUT1 and OUT2 can be switched to digital inputs (e.g. standard input modules). OUT1 and OUT2 can be evaluated via two digital inputs and implement a window function.

Voltage supply (pin 1 and 3) can be done via the input modules. With standard input modules, pins 1 and 3 are used for voltage supply (→ Electrical connection).

5.3 Function diagrams (counting behaviour)

The counting direction is set via the parameter dln1 and, in case of counting direction control by IN2, via dln2.

5.3.1 Up counter (InC)

A: overflow

• Overflow condition: current counter value >= maximum permissible counter value
- The maximum permissible counter value depends on the switch point mode.
- If during overflow the counter value is equal to the maximum permissible counter value, the counter is immediately reset to 0.
- If during overflow the counter value is greater than the maximum permissible counter value, the counter is immediately reset to the resulting positive amount.

5.3.2 Down counter (dEC)

Counter reading (main counter)
Counter reading (batch counter)

A: maximum counter value
B: underflow

• Underflow condition: current counter value < 0

- The maximum permissible counter value depends on the switch point mode.

- Upon triggering of an underflow, the counter is immediately reset to the maximum permissible counter value minus the negative amount.

5.3.3 Counting direction control by IN2 (dLr)

Counter reading (main counter)
Counter reading (batch counter)

A: overflow
B: underflow

• Overflow condition: current counter value >= maximum permissible counter value
• Underflow condition: current counter value < 0
- The maximum permissible counter value depends on the switch point mode.
- If during overflow the counter value is equal to the maximum permissible counter value, the counter is immediately reset to 0.
- If during overflow the counter value is greater than the maximum permissible counter value, the counter is immediately reset to the resulting positive amount.
- Upon triggering of an underflow, the counter is immediately reset to the maximum permissible counter value minus the negative amount.

Tab. 1: Counting direction control

5.4 Function diagrams (output behaviour)

Function diagram display is based on the up counter. The down counter and the counter with flexible counting direction behave in the same way.

5.4.1 Single point mode

When the set switching value is reached, the output is set, in accordance with the counter (main and/or batch counter), for the time of the switch-off delay. After expiry of the switch-off delay, the output resets automatically. During the delay, the input signals continue to be evaluated without restrictions.

SP1: switch-on point / maximum value of the counter

x: integer rounded up value of the set scaling factor: c.nu / c.dno - scaling factor for the main counter 23

dr: switch-off delay: dr — switch-off delay ➞ 23

If a counter value is exceeded, this is signalled by the switching signal as closed.

SP1: switch-on point window

x: integer rounded up value of the set scaling factor: c.nu / c.dno - scaling factor for the main counter 23

SP2: switch-off point window

If a counter value is exceeded, this is signalled by the switching signal as open.

5.4.3 Deactivated mode

NO (IO-Link parameter LoGc: no / high active)

The switching signal is always signalled as open.

NC (IO-Link parameter LoGc: nc / low active)

The switching signal is always signalled as closed.

Maximum value of the main counter (SSC1) = 1,000,000

Maximum value of the batch counter (SSC2) = 9,999

5.4.4 Latch mode

After activating the latch mode, the output is permanently set when the overflow or underflow value is reached and must be actively reset. As long as the output is set, evaluation of the input signals is deactivated.

Latch mode can only be activated if

1. the device is configured as an up counter (dIn=InC) or a down counter (dIn=dEC) only.
2. the parameter LTC1 is set to the desired counter.
3. the corresponding counter (main or batch counter) is operated in single point mode.

The setting under LTC1 is ignored as soon as one of the specified conditions is not fulfilled.

The output can only be released by the following measures:

• PDO: To the rising edge of the PDO bits “Release_Latch_Counter” or “Release_Latch_Batch_Counter”.
• IO-Link: system command "RELEASE_LATCH_COUNTER" or "RELEASE_LATCH_BATCH_COUNTER"
  Parameters adjustable via IO-Link ➕ 26
  • Standard IO: rising edge signal at IN2

If a counter value is exceeded, this is signalled by the switching signal as open.

5.4.5 Standard IO mode

The yellow LEDs indicate the switching status of the device.

Switching function NO:

Transistor output	LED yellow	Description
closed	on	counter reading ≥ SP1
open	off	counter reading < SP1

Switching function NC:

Transistor output	LED yellow	Description
closed	on	counter reading < SP1
open	off	counter reading ≥ SP1

5.5 Scaling of the counters

The scaling of the counters is configured via c.nu and c.dno (main counter) or b.nu and b.dno (batch counter), with *.nu indicating the value by which the corresponding counter is to be increased in *.dno steps.

The counters only count in whole numbers. In case of non-integer ratios of *.nu/*.dno, the non-integer residual value is stored and taken into account in the next counting step.

	c.nu = 5; c.dno = 4		c.nu = 2; c.dno = 5
Counting step	Theoretical counter reading	Current counter reading	Theoretical counter reading	Current counter reading
0	0	0	0	0
1	1.25	1	0.4	0
2	2.5	2	0.8	0
3	3.75	3	1.2	1
4	5	5	1.6	1
5	6.25	6	2	2

Tab. 2: Examples

Calculation formula:

z _ n = . nu + r _ n - 1. dno = c _ n * . dno . dno + r _ n. dno

r _ n = ^ . nu + r _ n - 1 - c _ n ^ . no

z_n : Theoretical count value with decimal place in counting step n

c_n : Number of increments (increase/decrease) in counting step n

r_n : Non-integer share in counting step n; is taken into account in the next counting step

The maximum limit of the scaling factor is SP1.

9 Menu

9.1 General

Irrespective of the operating mode (standard IO mode or IO-Link device) there are two options to set the parameters of the device:

• directly on the device via the menu (→ Parameter setting)
  • or via an IO-Link tool

Access via an IO-Link tool has a higher priority than parameter setting via the menu.

Parameter cloning and parameter setting backup is possible with an IO-Link tool.

Some parameters can only be set via the IO-Link interface:

Parameters adjustable via IO-Link ➕ 26.

If the device was locked via IO-Link, it can also only be unlocked via the IO-Link interface:
