8.21 User-Specific Localization
The following parameters are available for the ejector when saving user-specific information:
•
Equipment labeling from the circuit diagram
•
Geo-location
•
IODD web link
•
NFC web link
•
Installation date
•
Identification of the storage location
•
Identification of the installation location
The parameters are ASCII character strings with the maximum length given in the data dictionary. The ad-
dresses can also be used for other purposes if necessary.
The NFC web link parameter is a special feature. This parameter must include a valid web address begin-
ning with http:// or https:// and is automatically used as a web address for NFC read accesses. As a result,
read accesses from smart phones or tablets are rerouted e.g. to an address in the company's own intranet
or a local server.
8.22 Process Data Monitoring
IO-Link provides the current measurements for the following parameters, plus the lowest and highest val-
ues measured since switching on:
•
For the vacuum [0x0040]
•
For the compressed air supply [0x0041]
•
For the supply voltage [0x0042]
The maximum and minimum values can be reset using the appropriate system command [0x0002].
The ejector is not a calibrated measuring device. However, the values may be used as a refer-
ence and for comparison measurements.
8.23 Production Setup Profiles
In IO-Link mode, the ejector can store up to four different production setup profiles (P-0 to P-3). All im-
portant parameter data for workpiece handling is stored in these profiles. The profile is selected by means
of the process data byte PDO byte 0. Thus parameters can be adjusted to suit differing process conditions.
The currently selected data set is displayed in the parameter data under "Production Setup." This data set
corresponds to the current parameters the ejector is working with, which can be viewed using the menu.
You can view the parameter data set (P-0 to P-3) that is currently in use in the slide show by pressing the
button.
In the default setting, the P-0 production setup profile is selected.
Then menus can only be used to adjust the profile that is currently selected via IO-Link.
8.24 Energy and Process Control (EPC)
In IO-Link mode, the energy and process control (EPC) function is available. It is subdivided into three
modules:
•
Condition monitoring (CM): Condition monitoring to increase system availability
•
Energy monitoring (EM): Energy monitoring to optimize the vacuum system’s energy consumption
•
Predictive maintenance (PM): Predictive maintenance to increase the performance and quality of the
gripping systems
