The Uprox3 sensor is available in an IO-Link-capable version. Users can adapt the sensors to their needs and set output functions and sensing distances. Special functions are included and can be used whenever needed. Each adjustable switching distance can be run sequentially in combination with an IO-Link master. In IO-Link mode, the sensor is operated on an IO-Link master. This enables access to all parameter and evaluation functions. The intelligent data retention with IO-Link 1.1 allows a sensor to be exchanged without having to reset parameters. Uprox3 IO-Link offers process data that provides further analysis options, such as application-specific switch points, temperature limits or an identification number.
