Teach-In function
The teach-in function is used for application-specific media detection. This can be used to teach in the
present medium to the device.
External magnet and without additional software
Requirements:
•
The system has been de-energized and secured against being switched on again.
Procedure:
1. Hold the device in the medium.
2. Position the magnet included in the accessories on the DMC code on the nameplate.
3. Switch on the voltage supply.
Media detection starts and is signaled by a status display lighting up yellow. Once the parameters
have been saved within the device, the status display lights up green for 1 s and then switches back
to the configured signaling (default settings: yellow).
4. The magnet and the medium can be removed.
It is also possible to perform the teach-in process in a laboratory; the values are saved when the voltage
supply is removed and switched on again.
IO-Link communication
Requirements:
•
The communication is established.
Procedure:
1. Hold the device in the medium.
2. Press the relevant teach button (SP1, SP2) in the Parameter menu item under Teach Single Value.
Media detection starts. The parameters are automatically stored in the software when they have
been determined. If required, the parameters can be modified and must then be transferred from the
software to the device.
A wet test is not required if the parameters are known. The parameters per output (SP, FH, rP, FL) can
be entered directly and transferred to other devices as a special configuration file (dry test).
