Type 8318 - Pressure transmitter with IO-Link interface
Type Description
The pressure transmitter measures and monitors relative pressure in liquids and gases. On request, the device is also available for absolute pressure measurement. The effect of the pressure on the sensor element generates a signal which is amplified, digitised and processed. Instead of an analogue output, this device offers a digital interface IO-Link. This interface allows bidirectional data transfer with any IO-Link master. Data access occurs through the available standardised IO Device Description (IODD). The IO-Link corresponds to the specification version 1.1. The bidirectional communication is used to read process data, parameters, diagnostic information and status messages as well as to set parameters. The two green LEDs are permanently lit as soon as power is supplied to the device. Once an IO-Link connection has been established, the LEDs flash. The switching behaviour and the switching thresholds of the digital outputs (maximum of 2, “PNP” or “NPN”) can, like many other parameters, be individually configured.
