CALIS-TRM-2024-12-19.pdfOverview
CALIS Level Sensors can be used in IO-Link and non-IO-Link environments.
For non-IO-Link usage, the sensor features one digital output that switches on at a certain fill level and one analog current output, whose value scales continuously with the fill level.
The related parameters can be configured before/during deployment via IO-Link:
- Container teach-in with 2 to 6 reference points
- Set point of the digital output
IO-Link Communication
If the sensor detects IO-Link communication, it automatically switches to the IO-Link communication mode. The IO-Link standard offers different communication mechanisms:
- Acyclic Data (Indexed Service Data Units): Used to configure basic settings during commissioning.
- Cyclic Process Data: Used to receive the sensor's state and influence its behavior during runtime.
- Events: The sensor will report events in case of error.
In IO-Link applications the fill level is provided via cyclic Process Data for processing by a PLC.
Process Data, ISDUs and events of the sensor, their respective numeric indices, offsets, and values, are described in the IODD file of the sensor. It is highly recommended to use this file when integrating the sensor in an application.
