1 Sensors covered by this manual
These instruction apply to the following sensor versions:
Version Distance range
RR30.DAF0 0.2 m - 6 m
RR30.DAJ2 0.3 m - 12 m
RR30.DAO0 0.5 m - 60 m
The limits and default values in terms of distance can be different for each type of sensor.
2 IO-Link Introduction
IO-Link is an IO technology standardized worldwide according to IEC 61131-9. It permits manufacturer-
independent digital, bidirectional point-to-point communication. For this purpose, sensors are connected to the
IO-Link master via standardized 3-wire plug-in cables. IO-Link is available for various sensor technologies and
can also be integrated into small miniature sensors. See also here for more information.
With the IO-Link master, which bundles several sensors, the connection to the controller is made via the
respective fieldbus system. In addition, an Ethernet-based connection (with OPC UA) from the master allows
direct communication from the sensor to IT systems. IO-Link masters are available as field devices for
decentralized mounting or as versions for mounting in control cabinets. Many control suppliers also offer IO-
Link input terminals and thus an IO-Link master implemented directly on the control. The maximum cable
length between sensor and master is 20 m. However, significantly longer connections from the sensor to the
controller can be realized by connecting a field master to a field bus system. This gives them maximum
flexibility in the connection solution.
As a member of the IO-Link Consortium, Baumer is involved in developing the standard and is one of the first
manufacturers to feature the new Smart Sensor Profile 1.1. in its sensors.
Figure 1 Example of a system architecture using IO-Link

2.1 SIO / DI Mode
Each port of the IO-Link master can be operated either in SIO mode (standard in-out mode: according to the
latest specification DI mode for sensors and DQ mode for actuators) or in IO-Link mode and thus process the
information of all sensors. In SIO mode, the binary switching output (NPN, PNP or push-pull) of the sensor is
used. In IO-Link mode, the output of the sensor (pin 4) is used as a bidirectional, digital interface to exchange
measurement and diagnostic information.
2.2 IO-Link Communication Mode
The IO link communication mode is initiated by the master (PLC) with a standardized command sequence,
this sequence is called “wake-up”. After successful completion of the wake-up sequence the IO link
communication starts.
Data is the most important basis for process and product optimization. With the help of IO-Link, valuable
additional data can be made accessible. Sensor and Master can exchange two different types of data (cyclic
and acyclic data).
More information can also be found here.
2.2.1 Cyclic data
Transmitted in real time. They are used for process control in the automation system. These can also be
transferred to other IT systems via IO-Link.
2.2.2 Acyclic data
Through this data stream, sensors (IO devices) can be parameterized. Additionally this data stream also
allows to transmit data for identification and analyzation. The figure below shows the different types of data
and their value for the application.
Figure 2 Different IO Link data streams
2.3 IO-Link Device Description (IODD)
Each IO-Link Device has a device description file, the so-called IODD (IO Device Description). This contains
data about the manufacturer, article number, functionality, software version etc., which can be easily read out
and further processed by the automation system. Each device, i.e. each sensor, can be uniquely identified
both via the IODD and via an internal device ID. The identification data of the sensor also includes device or

en_BA_RR30_IO-Link_V0.23.docx 6/40 Baumer Electric AG
13.01.2021/ Frauenfeld, Switzerland
application descriptions that can be freely assigned by the user. The IODD consists of several files: a main file
and optional external language files (both in XML format), as well as image files (in PNG format).
2.4 Off-Line Parametrization
Off-line sensor parameter adjustment via convenient user interfaces in the PC (via USB Master) or via
Wireless App (via Wireless Master). Sensors can be conveniently configured at the desk and installed
without further teach-in.
Even if IO-Link is not implemented in the machine control, sensors can be operated in SIO mode.

3 Sensor in the IO-Link Communication Mode
3.1 Signal Path
The signal path describes the rough position of a parameter in the signal processing chain. The path starts
with the measuring value in the top left corner and finishes either with a physical pin (top right) or as output
via the process data (bottom right).
Figure 3 Illustrates the signal path from raw data to an output either through a physical pin (top right) or as
output via the process data (bottom right)

3.2 Process Data
With the sensor in the IO-Link communication mode, process data is cyclically exchanged between the IO-
Link master and the device. Process data is exchanged to and from the sensor (SensorMaster). The
master does not need explicitly to request these data.
3.2.1 Process Data-In
Process Data-In is sent from the sensor to the master (Sensor Master). As shown in Figure 4 IO Link
Process data Input” and the peak data of 5 peaks Figure 5 Process data Input of 5 peaks”, the Process Data
Input is an 208 bit string.

Bit 0/Bit 1: SSC1/SSC2 (Switching Signal Channel 1 & Channel 2)
These bits are the digital representation of the switching outputs.
Bit1 = 0 → There is no object within the switching range (Logic: Normal)
Bit1 = 1 → An object lies within the switching range (Logic: Normal)
See section 4.3 to configure
Bit 2: Quality
This bit provides information about the quality of the received signal coming from the object.
Bit2 = 0 → Sensor has enough signal to detect an object reliable
Bit2 = 1 → The signal detected from the sensor is critical.
Bit 3: Alarm
The alarm bit indicates that there is a problem with the configuration or function of the sensor.
Bit3 = 0 → Sensor operates properly.
Bit3 = 1 → A problem with either the sensor configuration or function was detected.
Bit 5: Switching Signal Channel 4 (SSC4), Switch Counter Function
By configuring SSC4, it is possible to set up a binary signal related to the number of switch counts of SSC1
or SSC2. An auto-reset and time filter are included, to be able to create a full-featured counter being able to
count lot sizes without any need to code software on the PLC.
See section 0 to learn how to configure this bit.
Bit 8 to 15: Scale
Value is the exponent to the power of ten, applicable to the value of the Measurement Data Channel (MDC)
Example:

en_BA_RR30_IO-Link_V0.23.docx 9/40 Baumer Electric AG
13.01.2021/ Frauenfeld, Switzerland
- Value of MDC 1000
- Unit m
- Scale -6
- Measured value 1000*10-6 m or 1000 m
Bit 16 to 47: MDC
MDC stands for measurement data channel. It contains the already filtered date arising from SSC1 to SSC4
as an 32 bit integer value. See section 4.2 to learn how to configure the MDC.
Bit 48 to 207 : Peak Data
Peak data is the main measurement data. The values are the first 5 peaks from the defined Region of
Interest (all further peaks are ignored) transmitted as two 16 bit values: 16 bit for the amplitude and 16 bit for
the distance. The Amplitude in dB shows the relative strength of the signal and the distance is displayed in
mm.

measurement value. The number of counts of each channel can also be mapped to the measurement data
channel MDC by adjusting the MDC source (See section 0).
Trigger of counter is on positive slope of related SSC.
By configuring SSC4, it is also possible to set up a binary signal related to the number of switch counts of
SSC1 or SSC2. An auto-reset and time filters are included, to be able to create a full-featured counter being
able to count lot sizes without any need to code software on the PLC.
As all SSCs, SSC4 can also be mapped to the digital output giving the possibility to create a stand-alone lot-
size counter.

In section 3.1, the signal path is described more detailed, to illustrate how the counter module is
implemented. In section 4.3.8.2 the behavior is explained.
4.3.8.1 SSC4 Configuration
In general the SSC4 offers the same features as the SSC1 and SSC2 based on distance (See 4.3.2),
including also time filters.
Exceptions:
- No hysteresis settings as there are only incremental counts.
- Additional parameters to adjust like SSC4 Source and SSC4 Auto-Reset.

4.3.8.2 SSC4 Behavior
By enabling auto reset, a full-featured counter being able to count lot sizes can be created without any need
of a manual reset.
Time filters like Response Delay can help to optimize the timing of the execution of a subsequent actor.
Figure 22 illustrates the behavior of SSC4 using different setting. SSC4 source is hereby the switch counter
of SSC1.
