Output Configuration

The function of Pins 2, 4, and 5 can be configured via the respective IO-Link parameters.

For a standard ORCA level sensor (but not for the "Lite" variant) Pin 2 can be used as an analog current or voltage output.

For the digital output functions PNP, NPN, and PushPull, a set and a reset point and the output function (Normally Open or Closed) can be set. Digital outputs will switch on when the current fill level is above the respective set point and switch off when the fill level is below the set point minus the given hysteresis value.

For an output switch to be closed when the current fill level is below a certain fill level, configure its output function to Normally Closed. The set point must be set to the desired level plus the given hysteresis value.

Example: The output switch shall be closed if the fill level is below 10%, with an open/close hysteresis of 3% — configure set point to 13%.
