LED Control

series10 supports four modes for controlling its LED:

  • Automatic Scene Selection
  • Scene controlled by IO-Link-Process Data *
  • Advanced Control by IO-Link Process Data *
  • Classic Two LED Mode

* If the SENSORswitch is not used with IO-Link, it will behave like with "Automatic Scene selection" mode.

The control mode can be selected via IO-Link parameter LED Control Mode (see ISDU Indices).

Automatic Scene Selection​

Number of applicable scenes depends on parameter Active Inputs:

Active InputsScenes Used
None (3 pin mode)0, 1
Pin2 (E1) (4 pin mode)0 ... 3
Pin2 (E1) and Pin5 (E2) (5 pin mode)0 ... 7

Scene n is selected depending on the state of touch (sensor actuation) and the state of the input pins E1 and E2:

The active Scene is set according to the LED Scene value in IO-Link process data.

The LED color, brightness, effect, and effect frequency is controlled by IO-Link process data.

Classic Two LED Mode​

"Idle" and "Touch" parameters of "Classic LED Control" section are used.

The Active Inputs parameter controls whether the input pins affect the selection of "Idle" or "Touch" configuration:

Active Inputs = None (3 pin mode)​
