4.7.3.3 Synchronization Input Mode (Sync-In.) Mode

Link the control pin of all sensors within a limited area to each other. This triggers the measurement of all

sensors at the same time. Interference signals which arrive later at the sensor due to their longer sensing

distance, will be ignored. Up to ten sensors can be synchronized via control pin.

Note: If the pin is not in use it must be connected to a defined potential to ensure the standard response

time:

 Input Mode: Synchronization: Connect the control pin to supply voltage (+Vs)

 Input Mode: Multiplex: Connect the control pin to ground (GND)

 Input Mode: Teach-In

4.7.3.4 IO-Link triggered

Use this mode to syncronize the sensors via the Process Data-Out Channel (see section 3.2.2 for the

process data-out structure, below you can find the structure as well). As long as Bit 2 is high (e.g. 1) the

sensor measures for only one measurement cycle. When the bit is set to 0 the sensor will not measure and

represent the last measured value on the output pin and in the Process Data-In Channel.

When to use?

This way of syncronisation is very beneficial in order to reduce the wiring costs. Compared to the other

syncronisation options no extra cable is needed.
