Protection from

Fields
Protection from electromagnetic fields during operation and At a
assembly
At a distance of 300 mm the limits for electrical and magnetic field strength
are met. Based on the EU Council recommendation 1999/519/EC, in
accordance with EN 62311:2008, this distance is regarded as the basic
limit value or reference value for the safety of persons in electromagnetic
fields.
For persons with active medical implants (e.g. heart pacemakers)
additional (operating) limits may apply.

3 System Overview
3.1 System
Overview
System description:
The BIC system consists of two components. It transmits electrical power from the
stationary components (base) to the mobile components (remote) via the air gap. The
Transmission distance of Base and Remote is then 0 to 5 mm. In addition the BIC system
transmits the data from the IO-Link port from the IO-Link master to the BIC system Remote
component. In this way, the IO-Link functionality of the IO-Link port on the master is made
available without contact on the remote. Pin 2 in the system is transparent.
The BIC system can only be operated using Balluff IO-Link masters.
Reliable operation on IO-Link masters from other manufacturers cannot be guaranteed.
When using a Profibus IO-Link master module from Balluff GmbH only modules having the
following hardware version are compatible.

4.5 180° Rotation of
the Connector
Insert
The connector insert on the base and remote can be rotated 180°.
To do this follow the disassembly steps (1 through 6) described in the following. After the
connector insert is rotated (step 7), subsequent reassembly is performed in reverse order.
Disassembling
the Holder
1. Loosen the grub screw
2. Pull off the BIC holder
3. Loosen the two countersunk screws
4. Remove the BIC base
5. Pull out the safety pin
6. Slide out the connector insert
7. 180° Rotation of the Connector Insert
Note
The design allows for disassembling/assembling to rotate the connector insert only
twice.

5 Energy Transmission
The maximum transmittable power with the BIC system depends on the distance as well as
the axial and angular offset.
At a distance of 5 mm, a lateral offset of 5 mm and no angular offset, the output current
indicated in the electrical data of 1A is assured.
5.1 Derating
Explanations for increasing the maximum transmittable power as well as increasing the
maximum transmission distance.
Reducing the ambient temperature as well as the distance, lateral axis offset and angular
offset the maximum transmittable power can be increased. Similarly, if the power
requirements are low, the transmission distance of the BIC system, for example, can be
increased.
If the system is operated continually in a range over the maximum power at ambient
temperature, but not so severely loaded that it collapses, the status of the resulting over-
temperature is reported.
Note
If the BIC system is operated with a correspondingly severe load, the output
voltage of the Remote collapses with no message.
Remote Current
as a Function of
Ambient
Temperature
The following illustration shows the course of a typical derating curve for the BIC system at
3 mm distance.
The average of the output current is calculated as follows:
where IRemote is the average, T the reference time, and iRemote(t) the current draw over time.
Whereby time T ≈should be considered to be 30..60min.
The max. available peak current is 5A.
Note
If a larger average output current is required at a resulting ambient temperature,
active cooling can be used to reduce the temperature surrounding the BIC so that
more current is available.

Output Current of
the BIC in Space
Note
The measurement which the derating curve as a function of distance is based was
performed with no angular offset. The value ranges of the derating curve are to be
interpreted as typical values. The typical rated current depends here on the
ambient temperature and may be derived from the temperature derating curve.
5.2 Reducing the
Output Power on
the Base with a
Decoupled
Remote
To protect people and the environment, the base component automatically reduces power,
which is emitted in the form of electromagnetic fields, as soon as the remote component is
disconnected.
Technical Utility
The technical utility is in particular the prevention of heating metallic objects that end up in
front of the base when the remote is disconnected. In addition, the power reduction allows
metals to remain in front of the sensing surface for long periods of time without causing
damage to the base.
Note
The startup time of the BIC is described in section "Connection time".

IO-Link
Communication
The BIC system transmits the IO-Link version 1.1 protocol (all IO-Link input and output data
as well as diagnostic data), regardless of the length of the process data.
The IO-Link protocol is transmitted without any restrictions so the BIC system parameters
do not need adjusting. Only the device connected to the BIC system needs to be
incorporated in the controller.
This means there is no IODD for the BIC Q40 bidirectional.
Note
The BIC system can only be operated using Balluff IO-Link masters. Using IO-Link
masters produced by other manufacturers can lead to disruptions in
communication.
Transparent PIN2
Pin 2 on the Base and Remote is transparent and transmits the signal state
"High-active" bidirectional from the IO-Link port on the master to the IO-Link device and the
reverse. For every status change the direction is redetermined from the side which first
generates a High level. This is then transmitted to the corresponding other side.
6.2 Connection Time
The time needed to establish the connection of base and remote is affected by many
different variables. Start-up speed and angle play just as much of a role as the IO-Link
device connected to the Remote and the IO-Link parameters set within it. Also the type of
IO-Link master used and its parameter setting affect the connection time. These variables
are all application-specific and therefore cannot be generalized.
The measurements performed by Balluff for determining the connection time were
performed using a Balluff EtherNet-IP master in combination with the Balluff IO-Link device
"BNI IOL-302-002-K006“. The distance from base to remote was 3 mm without axis and
angular offset. In total, 100,000 connection cycles comprising a variety of directions and
speeds were evaluated.
