2.1Overview and Application
The FieldConnex® Multi-Input/Output device (MIO) for FOUNDATION Fieldbus provides
discrete inputs, discrete outputs, 1 frequency input, and 1 counter to process control systems.
The device is is suitable for DIN rail mounting and field installation with different housing
options. The F2 type housing is made of sturdy cast aluminum for installation in rough
environments. Fieldbus and sensor-actuator cable entries can be selected individually from a
range of cable glands. Optionally, either screw terminals or spring terminals can be chosen.
Contact your Pepperl+Fuchs representative for further information on housing options.
The device can be installed in hazardous areas Zones 1, 21, 2, 22, and Division 1, 2.
FOUNDATION Fieldbus and input/output sensor and actuator connections are rated
intrinsically safe for installation in Zone 0 and Division 1.
The device provides different configurable modes of operation.
The valve coupler mode allows connecting 4 low-power valves with 2 end position inputs per
valve.
The sensor input mode allows connecting up to 12 binary sensors. 4 sensor inputs are
designed to support vibrating forks for level control. In frequency mode, 1 frequency input and
8 discrete inputs are provided. In counter input mode, 1 counter input and 8 discrete sensor
input modes are provided.
The MIO is intended to be used as a replacement for Pepperl+Fuchs process interface FD0VC-Ex4.FF.
2.2Modes of Operation
The device supports 12 hardware channels which can be configured as inputs and outputs.
The functional configuration of the channels is determined by selecting a dedicated mode of
operation.
Valve Coupler Mode
In the valve coupler mode, the channels 1, 4, 7, and 10 are used to control 4 low power valves.
The channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 are used as valve position feedback inputs for
NAMUR proximity switches or mechanical switches. An auxiliary valve is used as a pilot valve
for 1 actuator which can be provided with final position feedback contacts to feed back the
drive position. In the manual, the term "valve" denotes the overall chain consisting of auxiliary
valve, control drive, and regulation unit. Condition monitoring functions like stroke counter,
partial stroke test, and travel time survey allow to detect evolving faults, before they become
critical for the process control.
The device is designed particularly for intrinsically safe low power auxiliary valves in 6 V design
that control the supply of compressed air to the drive. An auxiliary valve of this type is triggered
by an intrinsically safe current (I
= 6.4 V ... 7.9 V, IS = 1.5 mA

Binary Input Mode
The device samples the inputs in 2 independent cycles. Channels 1, 4, 7, and 10 are intended
to be used for sensing multiplexed binary inputs as vibrating forks, NAMUR sensors, or
mechanical switches. Channel 1 can also be configured to be used as a frequency or counter
input. If the channel 1 frequency or counter input is activated, channels 4, 7, and 10 are
deactivated. The ON-time of channel 1, 4, 7, and 10 can be adjusted individually between
10 ms ... 11 000 ms. The total cycle time is the sum of the 4 individual ON-times.
Channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 are intended to be used for sensing multiplexed binary
inputs as NAMUR sensors and mechanical switches. The sampling time of 10 ms is not
adjustable. The total cycle time is calculated as follows: number of used channels * 10 ms
(minimum 50 ms). If all 8 sensors are used, the total cycle time is 80 ms.
Refer to the technical data of the MIO for the specification of compatible sensors. A list of
compatible NAMUR sensors is available on the Pepperl+Fuchs website.

Caution!
Property damage from unannounced operation of plant parts
During the initialization run, the valve is opened and closed once. Performing an initialization
run without explicit permission or having the plant in maintenance mode can pose the plant at
risk of being damaged.
Before starting the initialization run, ensure that you have permission/the plant is in
maintenance mode.
When commissioning the MIO device in the valve coupler mode, a transducer block is
parameterized in 2 steps.

Implementing the Setup Wizard
The setup wizard is executed in the device description as a method. Refer to the
documentation of the control system in use for information on how to start this method. For the
use of the setup wizard, we recommend you also read the procedure for manual configuration.
Valve Coupler Mode Commissioning - Step 1
Set parameters in order to describe the valve used and connected position feedback sensors
(PFCs). Select whether to perform the parameterization manually or with the setup wizard.
1. Set the actuator fail action and PFC parameters manually use the wizard to assist you with
the following parameterization tasks:
•Selecting a valve drive design in the Act. Fail Action parameter.
•Initialization run: Automatic value determination for the Sensor Usage parameter
Note: During the initialization run, the valve is opened and closed once. Ensure, that
your plant is in maintenance mode, before starting the initialization run so you do not
endanger persons and tamper dangerously with the plant process.
•Activation of time monitoring of breakaway and transit times. In this case, the current
breakaway and running times of the valve are determined during the initialization run
and taken over as reference values. The maximum permitted deviation is set to
30 %.
2. Determine the "target mode" of the transducer block.

Multi-Input/Output Device
Parameterization and Operation
The link between a specific function block and a transducer block is made by channel
reference.
4 different types of operation modes are available which are selectable with the resource block
parameter MIO_MODE:
Valve Coupler
In the valve coupler mode, 4 discrete output (DO) function blocks and 1 multiple discrete output
(MDO) function block can be used individually to establish a FOUNDATION Fieldbus
application.
A reference value is specified for the valve position and the current valve position feedback.
The reference value for the valve position is transferred to one of the transducer blocks. This
transducer block then controls the valve and reads back the current position via the position
feedback sensors (PFCs).
In addition, several diagnostic and monitoring functions for the valve can be activated in the
transducer blocks.
Binary Input
In the binary input mode, up to 12 discrete inputs are available. 12 discrete input function
blocks (DI) and 2 multiple discrete input (MDI) function blocks are available.
For 4 inputs, the sampling time is configurable, for the remaining 8, the sampling rate is fixed.
Diagnostic functions like lead short circuit and breakage can be activated in the transducer
blocks.
The position feedback input values can also be transmitted by using individual discrete input
function blocks (DI) or multiple input function blocks (MDI).
Frequency Input
In the frequency input mode, 1 frequency input and 8 discrete inputs are available. 1 analog
input (AI), 8 discrete inputs (DI), and 1 multiple discrete input (MDI) function block are
available.
Diagnostic functions like lead short circuit and breakage can be activated in the transducer
blocks.
Counter Input
In the counter input mode, 1 counter input and 8 discrete inputs are available. 1 analog input
(AI), 1 discrete output (DO) function block, 8 discrete input (DI) function blocks, and 1 multiple
discrete input (MDI) function block are available.
The DO function block allows you to reset the counter value.
The diagnostic function lead breakage can be activated in the transducer blocks.
The following sections are focused on the commissioning of the transducer blocks and their
interaction with the function blocks and the resource block. Representation and commissioning
of the function blocks and resource block are specific to the control system. Detailed
information can be found the documentation of the control system. This document includes a
concise list with the explanation of all parameters of the different types of blocks.
4.2Prerequisites
To parameterize the MIO device, the associated device description (DD) must be included in
the engineering tool used. If you require to integrate the MIO device in the control system by
yourself, you find the necessary files on the Internet under www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
For detailed information on the import of the device description, refer to the documentation of
the the control system in use.

4.3Device Identification
Each FOUNDATION Fieldbus device has a unique device ID. The device ID is structured as
follows for the MIO device:
Manufacturer IdenificationTy p eSerial Number
502B46
= Pepperl+Fuchs
These 3 identification fields are identically structured for all FOUNDATION Fieldbus MIO
devices. If several MIO devices are connected to one FF-H1 segment, these devices are
differentiated via their individual 14-digit serial numbers. The serial number is also provided on
a label attached to the device.
4.4Commissioning Procedure
The MIO device supports different modes of operation as described. For more information, see
chapter 4.1.
Depending on the mode of operation you selected, adhere to the commissioning procedure
that applies for this mode.

2. Start commissioning.
3. Set mode of operation MIO_MODE (resource block) to either one of the following modes:
1. Valve Coupler
2. Binary Input
3. Frequency Input
4. Counter Input
4. Complete commissioning.
4.5Parameterization in Valve Coupler Mode
4.5.1Interaction of Transducer Blocks and DO Function Blocks
In each of the DO function blocks, a reference value is calculated for the valve position in the
OUT_D parameter. This value is transferred to the transducer block that is connected with the
function block. A function block is connected to a transducer block through the Channel
function block parameter. This parameter contains the channel number 1 ... 4 of the transducer
block that the function block requires for interaction.
OUT_D of the function block can assume values from 0 ... 255. The value "0" means valve
"closed", values 0 mean valve "open".
Note!
Specifics of Reference Value
This specific reference value is contrary to many conventional devices where the value "0"
means "valve current OFF" and "1" means "valve current ON".
30
The transducer block accepts this reference value only if the status is GOOD (C) or
GOOD (NC). However, if the status is UNCERTAIN or BAD, the auxiliary valve is not controlled
electrically and the drive moves into the mechanical safety position.
If the current valve position is determined by 2 final position feedback sensors, the transducer
block transfers the current valve position back to the DO function block. The function block
represents the transferred value in the READBACK_D parameter. The numerical value
depends on the parameterization of the transducer block.

Additional Diagnostic Information
In addition to the reference value for the valve position and the current valve position, also
diagnostic information is transferred between the function block and the transducer block.
Thus, it is possible to receive diagnostic messages from the transducer block also with control
systems which do not support alarms of transducer blocks.
For more information, see chapter 4.5.12.
Primary Value Parameter - Inversion and Behavior in Cyclic Transfer
The READBACK_D parameter is shown with the Primary Value parameter within the
DO function block. If the IO option "invert" is activated in the function block, the numerical value
is inverted. That means, a value of "0" becomes "1", a value 0 becomes "0".
If the current valve position is to be cyclically transferred to a control system or used in a
function block application, the value of the Primary Value parameter can be transferred to
BKCAL_OUT_D via the IO option "PV for BKCal_Out". If this option is not activated, the value
of BKCAL_OUT_D is only a copy of the current reference value.
4.5.2Valve/Actuator Design
This section explains the setting options for the behavior of the valve or actuator with the Act.
Fail Action parameter, i.e., the actuator fail action.
Note that for setting this parameter, the target mode of the transducer block must be set to "Out
of Service" (OOS).
2017-06
31
Multi-Input/Output Device
Parameterization and Operation
Actuator Drive Design with Act. Fail Action Parameter
The MIO device supports the 2 most frequent valve drive designs "self-opening" and "selfclosing". For choosing between these 2 options, the actuator drive and the control actuators
must be considered a unit. Self-opening and self-closing designate the behavior of the drive
when setting the electrical control system to "0". This is independent of the behavior of the
drive during a failure of the auxiliary power. The following values can be set:
■ Undefined
■ Self-opening
■ Self-closing
The value "undefined" is the default setting at the time of delivery. Setting the valve drive to a
defined state is required for the configuration of the MIO device. The transducer block leaves
the mode "Out of Service" only if 1 of the 2 options "self-opening" or "self-closing" is set.
Depending on the setting of the Act. Fail Action parameter, the transducer block determines
whether or not the connected auxiliary valve must be controlled electrically for starting a
position set by the function block.
Controlling a double-acting drive requires 2 channels, i. e., 2 DO function blocks and
2 transducer blocks.
4.5.3Final Position Feedback
This section describes the options for parameterizing the final position feedback contact.
Prerequisite: Ensure that the Act. Fail Action parameter has a value assigned for the design of
the valve drive.
The response of the final position feedback contact is influenced by the following 2 parameters:
■ Sensor Usage parameter: Describes whether a final position feedback contact is
connected to the MIO device and how to evaluate its signals.
■ PV_D Generation parameter: If the signals of the final position feedback contacts are
evaluated, this parameter determines how to further process the evaluated signals prior to
transferring them to the function block.
Sensor Usage Parameter
The following settings are possible:
■ No position detection
■ Use sensor values for the Primary Value
■ Use options A ... D to determine the Sensor Usage parameter
No position detection
No final position feedback contact is connected to the MIO device. The current reference value
is returned as valve position to the function block.
32
Use sensor values for the Primary Value parameter
The 2 signals of the final position feedback contacts are transferred to the function block
without evaluation. The 2 binary signals are represented on bit 0 (position feedback contact A)
and bit 1 (position feedback contact B). Here, numerical values can be generated from 0 ... 3.
Possible problems are described in the next section PV_D Generation parameter.
Observe that the MIO device interprets a final position feedback contact signal as follows:
High current => logical 1
Low current => logical 0
2017-06
Multi-Input/Output Device
Parameterization and Operation
A ... D Sensor Usage
When selecting one of the options A ... D, the transducer block determines from the position
feedback contact signals the position of the valve as "open", "closed", "intermediate" at that
moment. Whether an actuated sensor or activated mechanical contact represents an open or a
closed valve, depends on the design of the position feedback and the electrical characteristics
of the final position feedback contacts. A general representation is thus not possible.
Each of the 4 options corresponds to 1 set of combinations of the 2 final position feedback
contacts signals and the valve positions "open", "intermediate", and "closed". The following
4 tables show the signal combinations of final position feedback contact A and final position
feedback contact B assigned to a valve position for the options A ... D.

PV_D Generation Parameter
If you selected one option from A ... D for the Sensor Usage parameter, you can use the
PV_D Generation parameter to determine what to do with the evaluated signals prior to
transferring them to the function block. You can select one of the following options:
■ Val ve position
■ Valve position extended
■ Intermediate => Closed
■ Intermediate => Open
■ Intermediate => Next
■ Intermediate => Last (default)
Valve Position
The position of the valve is transferred to the function block as a numerical value:

2017-06
Multi-Input/Output Device
Parameterization and Operation
Valve Position Extended
In the intermediate position of the valve, the information on the valve position is extended with
the information "opening" and "closing". This information is determined by the current control
process and need not coincide with the actual direction of travel (e. g., when changing the set
position while the valve is in the intermediate position).
Numerical ValueValve Po sition
1Closed
2Open
3Intermediate position/opening
4Intermediate position/closing
0Unkown
The options "Valve Position" and "Valve Position Extended", and the setting "Use sensor values
for PV_D" in the Sensor Usage parameter are intricate to be used with the function block.
The transducer block transfers the valve position to the function block as part of the
READBACK_D parameter. From there, the valve position information is transferred to the
Primary Value parameter which can be cyclically transferred to a control system via
BKCAL_OUT_D. Alternatively, the valve position information can be used in a function block
application.
If an inversion is active in the function block, the numerical value "0" becomes "1" and all
numerical values 0 become "0". That means, all valid valve positions are inverted to "0".
Also, the IO options of the DO function block "SP-PV Track in LO" and "SP-PV Track in Man" do
no longer work because the range of values of the Primary Value parameter does not
correspond to that of SP_D.
In order to ensure a more straightforward use of the valve position information in the function
block, you can choose one of the following options.
These options show the valve position at the value range of the set position "closed" (0) or
"open" (1) and determine the position information to be issued in the intermediate position:
■ Intermediate => Closed: The intermediate position is always interpreted as "closed"
■ Intermediate => Open: The intermediate position is always interpreted as "open"
■ Intermediate => Next: During a closing process, the intermediate position is always
interpreted as "closed" and during an opening process as "open"
■ Intermediate => Last (default setting): During a closing process, the intermediate
position is interpreted as "open" and during an opening process as "closed"
The default setting "Intermediate => Last" has the effect that during an opening or closing
process, the last position is displayed until the valve has actually reached the reference
position. This is useful, e. g., for a sequential valve control when any further steps can only take
place after the valve has fully reached the desired position. In this case, only the reference
value must be compared with the feedback.
4.5.4Target Mode
The "Target mode" determines the mode of operation of the MIO device. The modes of
operation are possible:
■ Out of service (OOS, default setting)
■ Auto
■ Manual (Man)
2017-06
35
Multi-Input/Output Device
Parameterization and Operation
In OOS mode, the transducer block is deactivated and the valve output is not controlled. Thus,
a connected actuator drive moves in its mechanical safety position. Use this mode if you intend
to adjust basic function parameters, e. g., Act. Fail Action, Sensor Usage, and PV_D
Generation or if the corresponding channel is not used.
The "Auto" mode is provided for operation. The transducer block operates in this mode as
specified by parameterization.
"Man" is used by the setup wizard and must not be modified.
4.5.5Time Monitoring
The MIO device can monitor the breakaway and transit times of a valve. You can activate the
time monitoring parameter to measure the breakaway and transit times of the connected valve.
You can compare the measured values to the reference values during each reference value
modification of the valve position.
If a measured time is longer or shorter than the reference time plus a specified tolerance, an
alarm is generated. The times measured last are also displayed.
Prerequisites
The following parameters must be set as a prerequisite for time monitoring:
■ Act. Fail Action. For more information, see chapter 4.5.2.
■ Sensor Usage. For more information, see chapter 4.5.3.
Activation of Time Monitoring
You can activate time monitoring by setting the option Time Monitoring in the Valve Monitoring
parameter.

4.5.6Cyclic Function Test (Partial Stroke Test)
Prerequisites
The following parameters must be set as a prerequisite for the cyclic function test:
■ Act. Fail Action parameter. For more information, see chapter 4.5.2.
■ Sensor Usage parameter. For more information, see chapter 4.5.3.
■ Valve Monitoring parameter > Time Monitoring is activated. For more information, see
chapter 4.5.5.
"Cyclic Test Open" and "Cyclic Test Closed"
The MIO device provides a function check for the connected valve or actuator within an
adjustable period of time. This way, you can monitor valves or actuator that are rarely triggered
for faults. When active, the MIO device controls the valve or actuator contrary to the current
control until the breakaway point. Then, the MIO device controls the valve or actuator back into
the initial position.
The measured breakaway time is displayed as the last breakaway time measured, and falling
below or exceeding the admissible range of values generates an alarm.
Depending on the operation, the cyclic function test for the valve position "open" or "closed"
can be switched ON or OFF under the Valve Monitoring parameter.
Note that the time monitoring option must be activated in Valve Monitoring in order to use the
cyclic function test.
"Period Cyclic Test"
You can set a time interval for the cyclic function test. The interval can range between
10 seconds and 7 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. If the set valve position is not
modified after this time, the device automatically carries out a cyclic function test.
4.5.7Stroke Counter
The MIO device can monitor the number of strokes of a valve.
In the Valve Monitoring parameter, use the Stroke Counter to activate this function.
A stroke starts in the valve status "open" and continues with a closing and opening procedure.
When activated, the Stroke Counter increases by 1, after the valve is closed and opened again.
This parameter can be initialized with a start value. The current count remains unaffected even
after a voltage failure.
Stroke Counter Limit
You can determine a count as the limit value for the counter function. If the count of the Stroke
Counter exceeds the stroke counter limit entered, the alarm "Maintenance needed now“ is
generated. No alarm is given if the stroke counter limit is 0. This way, you can count the number
of strokes without releasing an alarm for a limit value.

Multi-Input/Output Device
Parameterization and Operation
4.5.10Final Value as Valve Reference Value
The reference value for the valve position and the associated status are issued in the Final
Value parameter. The Final Value is a copy of the OUT_D value of the DO function block
connected with the transducer block. This reference value can assume the values "closed" (0)
or "open" ( 0).
The value is accepted only with a status GOOD-NonCascade or GOOD-Cascade. If the status
is BAD or UNCERTAIN, the connected auxiliary valve is not controlled electrically, so that the
associated drive moves into the mechanical safety position.
4.5.11Valve Position
The signals recorded by a connected final position feedback contact are indicated in several
parameters of different significance.
Sensor Value A or Sensor Value B Parameter
These parameters display the input signal of final position feedback contact A or final position
feedback contact B. The MIO device interprets a final position feedback contact signal as
follows:
high current => logical 1
low current => logical 0
Valve Posi tion Parameter
The current valve position "open", "intermediate", or "closed" is displayed as value. By setting
the Sensor Usage parameter accordingly, the signals of the final position feedback contacts
are assigned a definite position.
For more information, see chapter 4.5.3.
Valve Position Extended Parameter
In the intermediate valve position, the information in the valve position parameter is extended
by the information "opening" and "closing". This information is determined by the current
control process and need not coincide with the actual direction of travel - i. e., when changing
the set position while the valve is in the intermediate position.
Primary Value Parameter
This parameter issues the value which is fed back as valve position to the assigned function
block. The Primary Value parameter is an unsigned 8 with the status which is displayed in the
function block as READBACK_D. Which information is issued at which value range in the
Primary Value parameter depends on how you set the Sensor Usage and PV_D Generation
parameters.
For more information, see chapter 4.5.3.
Valve Info Parameter
This parameter displays information of the current status of the valve or transducer block. This
includes the following information:
40
■ Stroke counter limit exceeded
■ Cyclic function test running
■ Actuation - The valve has not yet reached the new final position after having changed the
reference value.

4.5.12Diagnostic Messages and Alarms
The MIO device features several diagnostic options.
If a fault occurs, the transducer block sets a block alarm. The block alarm is a combined error
signal for all fault signals and remains set, as long as a fault in the block exists. For detailed
information of the alarm cause after a block alarm, the MIO device provides the following
parameters:
■ Block Err.
■ XD Error
■ Valve Lead Fault
■ Sensor Lead Fault
■ Valve Warning
■ Valve Error
■ Val ve Info
If the control system in use supports alarm messages via the FOUNDATION Fieldbus, setting
and resetting of the block alarm is transferred via the bus to the control system. As this function
is currently not supported by all control systems, the MIO device offers an alternative option to
issue faults:
As soon as the transducer block recognizes a fault, a message is set in Block Err. parameter of
the connected DO function block. Normally, this parameter is read out and evaluated in cycles
by control systems which do not support alarm messages via FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
If the fault is related to the valve control (e. g., lead breakage of valve feeding lead or exceeding
the admitted valve transit time), the message "Output failure" is set. If the final position
feedback contact fails (e. g., lead short circuit of the lead that feeds the final position feedback
contact), the message is "Input failure".
All messages, except a configuration error, are transferred this way. Therefore, check after each
modification of parameterization of the MIO device that this message is not set in the Block Err.
parameter. If the control system used does not support alarm messages via FOUNDATION
Fieldbus, in the Features Sel. resource block parameter, deactivate the option "Reports".
More Information
For more information on diagnostic options and troubleshooting, see chapter 5.
For a detailed list of the messages of the tranduceer block parameters and for
troubleshooting, see chapter 5.4.
4.6Parameterization in Binary Input Mode
The binary mode supports up to 12 discrete inputs, organized in the following 2 groups:
■ Group 1: Hardware channels 1, 4, 7, 10
■ Group 2: Hardware channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 12
The device samples the inputs in 2 independent cycles. Group 1 hardware channels 1, 4, 7, 10
are intended to be used for sensing multiplexed binary inputs as vibration forks, NAMUR
sensors, or mechanical switches. The ON-time of group 1 channels can be adjusted
individually in a range between 10 ms ... 11 000 ms. The total cycle time is the sum of the
4 individual ON-times.
Group 2 hardware channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 12 are intended to be used for sensing multiplexed
binary inputs as NAMUR sensors and mechanical switches. The sampling time is fixed to
10 ms and is not adjustable. The total cycle time is the product of the number of channels used
x 10 ms. The minimum total cycle time is 50 ms. If all 8 sensors are used, the total cycle time is
80 ms.

4.6.1Transducer Blocks Interacting with DI or MDI Function Blocks
For the discrete inputs, the hardware channels can be linked to function blocks in different
ways.
Using 12 Individual DI Function Blocks
Each discrete input is linked to the independent DI function blocks 5 … 17.
For group 1 hardware inputs, the transducer block channels 301 … 304 are used.
For group 2 hardware inputs, the channels 201 … 208 are used.

Using 2 DI Function Blocks
If required, you can use this option to increase the update time performance. Use the sensor
inputs with 2 DI function blocks to read the input states of the 2 hardware input groups.
Group 1 sensor inputs are linked to a DI by using channel number 305.
Group 2 sensor inputs are linked to a DI using channel number 5.
The input values are assigned to the respective bits of the FIELD_VAL_D parameter value of
the transducer blocks according to the following tables:

6Sensor value hardware channel 11
7Sensor value hardware channel 12
In the DI function block, the value of the FIELD_VAL_D parameter is assigned to the Primary
Value parameter, and from there, to the OUT_D parameter value. Thus, cyclic transmission of
the groups of sensor values to a control system is possible as well as their further use in a
function block application.
Because of the many inputs mapped to a single parameter, the status does not reflect the
status of a specific input any more. Failures, such as lead breakage or lead short circuit of the
sensor wires are no longer issued using the status. The status remains GOOD in all instances.
Only hardware failures of the MIO device are issued with the status BAD - Device Failure.
With the PV_FTIME parameter, you can determine for how long (in seconds) the final position
feedback sensor values have to be stable, before they are passed on from the FIELD_VSL_D
parameter to the Primary Value parameter.
Depending on the application used, sensor values can keep changing or influencing one
another. In this case, an inappropriate numeric value can result in the Primary Value parameter
not being updated at all. Therefore, Pepperl+Fuchs recommends setting the
PV_FTIME parameter to 0. If time monitoring is not necessary, Pepperl+Fuchs recommends
setting the Sensor Usage parameter to "Use sensor values for PV_D".
Use the Sensor Exe Mode parameter to individually enable or disable the channels 1, 4, 7, 10.
The Sensor On-Time parameter defines the time a specific hardware input is powered and
processed before the next hardware input is switched on.
Use the Sensor A Mode and Sensor B Mode parameters to individually enable or disable the
channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12.

4.8Parameterization in Counter Mode
In the counter mode, the hardware channel 1 or transducer block 1 is used. The hardware
channels 4, 7, and 10 are disabled. The counter value can be either linked to an AI function
block as a float value or to a DI function block as an unsigned 8 value. The hardware
channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 can be handled as described in the sensor mode section.
One DO function block serves for resetting the counter value to 0.
4.8.1Interaction of the Transducer Blocks and AI, DO Function Blocks
The hardware channel 1 counter input is linked to an AI function block by using channel
number 400. To reset the counter value, a DO is available which is linked to the transducer
block by using channel number 500. The hardware channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 can be
handled as described in the sensor mode section.
The counter value is provided by the transducer block 1 via the CNTR_VALUE_D parameter.
The FINAL_VALUE_D transducer block parameter contains the actual counter reset state.
4.8.2Interaction of the Transducer Blocks and DI, DO Function Blocks
The counter value can be mapped as an unsigned 8 bit value to a DI function block using
channel number 401. If the counter value exceeds 255, the HI_LIMIT status is set. To reset the
counter value, a DO is available which is linked to the transducer block by using channel
number 500. The hardware channels 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 can be handled as described
in the sensor mode section.
4.8.3Lead Fault Monitoring
