3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Signal lighting is indispensable for safety in the industry or in the public sphere because it reliably provides a visual warning to
and protects not only the workers, but also passersby. Particularly in the industry at indoor and outdoor facilities, for example,
signal lighting supports workplace safety by indicating various operating states of machines and systems. Signal columns, for
example, can of course be used in other situations, too. The optical signal transducers help you monitor machines and complex
manufacturing processes, identify emergency or hazardous situations so that action can be taken in good time if the safety of
the environment, people or products is in jeopardy. di-soric signal lights and signal lighting have the advantage that they can be
configured to suit your individual needs via IO-Link. The signal lights can be integrated into any machine and system with practical
accessories for signal lighting.
4 NORMAL OPERATION AND APPLICATION AREAS
The di-soric signal lighting and signal lights are operated with a service voltage of 18 to 30 V.
On machines and systems with IO-Link, the device is connected to a class A port of the IO-Link master with a 3 to 5-pin M12
connecting line.
On machines and systems without IO-Link, the device is connected to a 5-pin cable, with the presets being activated via
the 3 digital inputs.
Even from a great distance, the signal lighting indicates the status of machines or machine segments in a clearly visible way
with vibrant colors.
4.1 RELIABLY SIGNALING VARIOUS STATUSES
By using professional signaling, you ensure more safety in your applications and considerably reduce response and waiting times.
Due to the dierent signaling stages, employees can promptly react to faults and more quickly fix any existing problems.
Attention is additionally drawn by the loud buzzer integrated into the cover of the SBT signal towers.
4.2 SIGNAL LIGHTING: SUITABLE FOR A VARIETY OF USES
It is impossible to imagine mechanical engineering and plant construction without signal columns But signal lighting is also found
in many other areas, such as intralogistics and building services engineering.
4.3 AMBIENT CONDITIONS [IP PROTECTION CLASSES]
The di-soric SBx-RGB lighting is typically suited for industrial applications; depending on the variants, they have the following IP
protection types: IP20, IP 65 and IP 67.

600017-0000EN · Rev 1 · 2023/01
5 OPERATING MODES
The di-soric LED signal lighting (SBx-RGB) can be operated via IO-Link as well as via the integrated digital inputs. In total,
4 operating modes are available: External Trigger mode, Segment mode, Level mode, Demo mode:
It is important to mention that the SBP-RGB is only operated with 3 operating modes, namely, External Trigger mode, Segment
mode and Demo mode. Level mode is not possible for the SBP-RGB series because the SBP-RGB has only one segment.
5.1 EXTERNAL TRIGGER MODE
In External Trigger mode (factory setting), 8 predefined color and lighting configurations can be activated through the 3 digital
trigger inputs, even without IO-Link.
5.2 OPERATION VIA IO-LINK [SEGMENT MODE, LEVEL MODE, DEMO MODE]
5.2.1 COMMUNICATION VIA IO-LINK
IO-Link is a globally standardized I/O technology (IEC61131-9) for communication
between control system and sensor/actuator below the fieldbus level.
The well-known connection technology is used with unshielded M12 cables. Here,
the 3-wire connection of a digital switching signal is enhanced by the bidirectional
communication.
5.2.2 SEGMENT MODE
In Segment mode, individual segments can be activated via IO-Link process data,
which enables countless color configurations. IO-Link can be used on the fly to set
the colors of each segment, the intensity from 10 to 100% and blinking or flashing
behavior.
5.2.3 LEVEL MODE
Level mode is for displaying fill levels and process progress. In Level mode, the signal
light requires an input value from the control system between 0 and 100 percent.
Furthermore, there is the option of using IO-Link process data to define a background
color (inactive segment) and a color of the active segment.
5.2.4 DEMO MODE
In Demo mode, the device demonstrates the dierent operating functions: dierent
colors, Level mode, Segment mode, blinking, flashing and, if present, an acoustic
signal.

6 COMMISSIONING
For initial commissioning of our signal lighting, you need either a control system with 3 free digital outputs and a 5-wire
connecting cable with M12 socket or, if you want to connect the lighting to IO-Link, then you need a compatible IO-Link
master and a 5-wire connecting cable with M12 socket.
6.1 OPERATION WITHOUT IO-LINK IN EXTERNAL TRIGGER MODE
The lighting and/or products arrive from the factory in External Trigger mode. The 3 digital inputs can be used to activate the
predefined presets for the lights. The statuses that are displayed when the respective preset is activated depend on the product
and are described in the data sheet for the respective product. As an example, here is an excerpt from a data sheet from the
SBP-RGB series:

All trigger inputs have a delay ~50 ms. Presets can be defined via IO-Link.
6.2 OPERATION WITH DI-SORIC IO-LINK MASTER
Our signal lighting and signal lights from the SBx-RGB series can be configured directly with a computer running Windows 7 or
later, in combination with the di-soric USB IO-LINK MASTER and the associated “IOL Device Tool” software.
IOL MASTER:
Operation on PC via USB
The IO-Link devices are described by means of XML device descriptions, so they can be quickly
and easily observed and configured. The tool is designed for presetting, testing and
demonstrating IO-Link devices. The tool is not intended for ongoing operation in production
systems.
In addition to the computer and IO-Link master with software, you also need the IODDs of the
respective signal lights. You will find these in our product selector under the respective product on
the Downloads tab.
The IODD is a ZIP file in which the actual IODD is compressed with the associated graphics files.
After the files are imported into your engineering tool, the lighting functions can be visualized and
programmed.
You can also find the IODDs in the IODDfinder portal of the IO-Link Consortium: ioddfinder.io-link.com
For details about the functions and additional information for integrating IO-Link devices with the di-soric USB IO-Link master,
please see the user manual for the IOL master: www.di-soric.com/210075

6.3 OPERATION WITH OTHER PLC ONLINE TOOLS: E.G. SIEMENS MASTER
Figure 1 – External Trigger mode (factory configuration)
Figure 2 – Segment mode (bytes for the process data are assigned)
S7-PCT with IODD of a device and the contained device information
Important note: Before operation with IO-Link, the IO-Link
devices should be switched from External Trigger mode
(factory configuration) to Segment mode or Level mode.
(see Figures 1 and 2)
It is entirely possible to use other engineering tools
for planning and parameterization of IO-Link devices:
Example: Siemens master with Port Configuration Tool
(“PCT”).
The Port Configuration Tool (“PCT”) is PC-based software
for parameterization of Siemens IO-Link master modules
and IO-Link devices from any manufacturer. The IO-
Link devices are integrated through the standardized
“IODD” device description, which can be obtained from
the respective device manufacturer or at the IODDfinder
portal (ioddfinder.io-link.com).
With the Siemens IO-Link master, it is necessary to make
sure that the latest IODD file revised for this is used. This
can be identified by the time code (Release Date: 2022-
04-25). For example, for the SB-RGB-126-K-B5 signal
lighting it looks like this: di-soric-SB-RGB-126-K-B5-
20220425-IODD1.1-de.html.
If a previous version of the IODD is installed, then this
must first be completely removed from the Siemens
master. Then the PCT tool must be restarted; after that,
the new version can be used.

8.1 EXTERNAL TRIGGER MODE [STANDARD MODE]
The signal lighting of the SB-, SBP- and SBT-RGB series is delivered in Trigger mode. (factory configuration). This is the standard
operating mode at delivery. In this operating mode, each color of each segment is represented as a separate switching signal.
Important note: Complete integration into IO-Link is possible only with the new Gen. 2 devices possible, and these are stipulated
in this manual.
The delivery of Generation 2 lighting in Trigger mode enables backward compatibility with the devices of Generation 1.
Furthermore, Generation 1 devices dier from Generation 2 devices in terms of voltage range (Gen. 1: 24 V DC +-5%,
Gen. 2: 18 to30 V DC).

8.1.1 PARAMETERIZATION [PARAMETER DATA]
Trigger mode means that customers can use digital inputs to switch predefined colors directly. Due to the 3 trigger inputs of the
lighting, the 8 predefined trigger presets can be selected.
For a trigger preset selection [preset 0to7], the following light functions (light color, intensity and mode) and buzzer function are
preset at the factory for each segment [1to 12] (depending on the variant). However, there is the option of simply using IO-Link to
freely and individually parameterize the trigger presets.
Recommended procedure for commissioning:
1.Configure colors
2.Configure presets
3.Simulate presets

8.2 SEGMENT MODE
If the signal lighting or signal lights are completely integrated into the IO-Link communication, then it is advisable to operate the
product in Segment mode.
In Segment mode, individual segments can be activated via IO-Link process data, which enables countless color configurations.
IO-Link can be used on the fly to assign the previously configured colors and static, blinking or flashing lighting behavior to the
segments.
8.2.1 PARAMETERIZATION [PARAMETER DATA]
Depending on the selected number of segments, the various color combinations can be displayed. The intensity [10 to100] and
Dynamic mode [blinking or flashing] can also be set up freely.
The “Number of segments selection 1=1” setting applies the selected color to all the lighting. Important note: The index 610 is
not available for the SBP-RGB lighting.

8.2.2 PROCESS DATA AND APPLICATION EXAMPLE
The process data of the devices is transmitted cyclically in a data telegram; the device defines the process data size. For each
device it is possible to have process data from 0 to 32 bytes (for both the input and output). In Segment mode, the process data
can be used to assign the 8 preconfigured colors to the individual segments or activate them. Furthermore, the (static or dynamic)
lighting mode can be selected for each segment. In addition, if products have a buzzer, this can be activated.
The ProcessDataOut “PD for Segment mode” is under the id=PDOUT_Segment at V_DeviceControl == 2. For example, the color
setting for Seg 3 is at subindex 6 and the buzzer is at subindex 7.

In Segment mode, the number of segments [1 to12] of lighting (depending on variant) can be easily displayed and the
preconfigured colors [000to 111] selected for each segment can be optically visualized.
A variety of information can be clearly and optically displayed with the segments. The Segment mode setting causes the lighting
to accept only the commands for color changes, activation via the I/O-Link connection.
In Segment mode, the signal lighting can be used to display process progress. Thus the machine operator can immediately
determine the current status of manufacturing processes and act accordingly in case of error messages.

8.3 LEVEL MODE
In Level mode, it is possible to use IO-Link process data to define a background color [inactive segment], which can be used,
for example, as a corporate identity color. In addition, the fill levels and machine status can be displayed with the active segments
[foreground color] with a predefined color selection.
8.3.1 PARAMETERIZATION [PARAMETER DATA]
Important note: Level mode is not available for SBP-RGB lighting because it has only one segment.

For example, for Level mode the index=616 and the allowed values are 0=segments increasing, 1=segment migrating.
Level display direction
With the signal lighting Level mode, the display direction [Bottom>Top or Top>Bottom] can also be selected and optically
displayed.

Dynamic mode for each segment
Furthermore, it is possible to define a foreground color with the index=617 [active segment level] and a background color
with the index 618 [inactive segment level]. For example, the background color can be set as a corporate identity color.

8.3.2 PROCESS DATA AND APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Process data (e.g. analog values) are transmitted cyclically. In Level mode, the process data transmits the analog value [0to100]
as an input, for example, so that fill levels and process progress can be displayed. The 8 preconfigured colors can be freely set
for the active segments as well as for the inactive segments. Furthermore, the (static or dynamic) lighting mode can be selected.
In addition, the buzzer can be activated. The buzzer's tone mode [slow or fast intermittent] can also be freely selected.

The ProcessDataOut “PD for Level mode” is under the id=PDOUT_Level at V_DeviceControl == 3. As an example, the “intensity
of active segments” is at subindex 4 with the allowed values [10to100].
The fill levels and/or machine status are displayed with the active segments [foreground color] with preconfigured color
selection for the respective process. In accordance with the color selection predefined by the user, fill levels in the process can
be displayed more eciently with lit LED segments. The allocation of the analog value depends on the available number of
segments.
