IO-Link Process Data Out (Master to Device)
IO-Link® is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and a sensor and/or light. It can be used to automatically parameterize sensors or lights and to transmit process data. For the latest IO-LINK protocol and specifications, please visit www.io-link.com.
For the latest IODD files, please refer to the Banner Engineering Corp website at: www.bannerengineering.com.
Segment Mode
Configure the light to have up to 10 segments which scale in size automatically with the length of the light or select Manual Segment Configuration which allows each segment to have a custom LED width and LED offset from the beginning of each segment to the beginning of the light.
Use process data to set each segment to off, solid on, flash, or animation mode. Use parameter data to change segment number and configuration, color, intensity, flash speed, direction, background, and select animation type.
