IO-Link Process Data In (Device to Master)

Process Data In is transmitted cyclically to the IO-Link master from the IO-Link device.
The QS18 Expert IO-Link Process Data is 32 bits in size and includes the state of the output channel and the health state of the
sensor. This information is sent to the IO-Link master every 3.6 ms.

IO-Link Process Data Out (Master to Device)

Not applicable.

Parameters Set Using IO-Link

These parameters can be read from and/or written to an IO-Link model of the QS18EK6R/RV sensor. Also included is information
about whether the variable in question is saved during Data Storage and whether the variable came from the IO-Link Smart Sensor
Profile.
Unlike Process Data In, which is transmitted from the IO-Link device to the IO-Link master cyclically, these parameters are read or
written acyclically as needed.

normalized to the current switching
threshold)

73 Quality of Teach 8-bit 0-200 ro y

The original taught signal normalized uinteger
to 1.5 times the minimally
acceptable teach value.
A value of 100 or higher is a reliable
teach condition. Less than 100
means that the sensor has less than
a 50% signal strength reserve. The
quality of teach is a snapshot of the
teach process and does not change
until the sensor is taught again.
Optimizing sensor to target
alignment can result in higher
values.

IO-Link Events
Events are acyclic transmissions from the IO-Link device to the IO-Link master. Events can be error messages and/or warning or
maintenance data.
