5 Function
The position transmitter detects the magnetic field of the piston magnet and con-
tinuously senses the piston movement in the sensing range. The position trans-
mitter can be operated in one of the following operating modes:
– Cylinder switch with 2 programmable switching points (standard operation) .
– Position transmitter with IO-Link communication .
In the case of active IO-Link communication (IO-Link master required), the SDAS-
MHS switches automatically into the position transmitter operating mode.
5.1 Cylinder switch operating mode
In the cylinder switch operating mode, 2 switching points can be programmed
within the sensing range.
– Operation using capacitive operating key
– Switching logic: normally open (NO)
– Output signal 24VDC (PNP or NPN)
– Marking on the housing indicates the centre of the sensing range.

5.2 Position transmitter operating mode (IO-Link)
In the position transmitter operating mode, programmed switching signals and
the continuous position values (digitally coded analogue values) are transferred.
– Programming via IO-Link
– Device description file IODD èwww.festo.com/sp.
– Capacitive operating key is deactivated.
– Cylinder switches or window comparators or hysteresis comparators can be
programmed individually on 4 switching channels.
– The continuous position values are always transferred in parallel with and
independently of the position value output of the switching channels.
– Each channel can be set to be normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO).
– Data transmission is serially and digitally coded in the IO-Link protocol.
– Process data: 12 bit for position data and 4 bit for switching channels
– Unshielded standard cables of up to 20m in length can be used.
– Parameters and functions in accordance with Smart Sensor profile
– Support for the optional functions “Block parameterisation” and “Data
storage”

6 Installation
6.1 Electrical installation
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
• For the electrical power supply, use only PELV circuits in accordance with IEC
60204-1/EN 60204-1 (Protective Extra-Low Voltage, PELV).
• Observe the general requirements of IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1 for PELV cir-
cuits.
• Only use voltage sources that ensure a reliable electric separation from the
mains network in accordance with IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1.
1. Switch off operating voltage.
2. Connect the M8 plug to the connecting cable of the higher-order controller
è Fig.5,4.
– The tightening torque for the union nut of the plug: max. 0.3Nm

7 Commissioning
• Switching on the operating voltage.
ÄThe position transmitter is ready for operation.
7.1 Cylinder switch operating mode
The position transmitter is parameterised once it is installed.
• Be mindful of the surface temperature of the capacitive operating key and of
the drive.
• Avoid contamination and moisture on the position transmitter.
7.1.1 Activating set-up mode
• Press the capacitive operating key 3 times within 3s.
ÄSet-up mode active: yellow and red LEDs flash alternately.
If programming is not completed within 60s of starting set-up mode, the SDAS-
MHS automatically switches into the operating mode.
7.1.2 Setting switching points

LED/operating key Meaning
N x Press the capacitive operating key (e.g.: 3x); max. 1s pause
between 2 consecutive presses
3s Hold the capacitive operating key pressed for at least 3s.
LED illuminated / LED flashing / LED OFF (e.g.: yellow LED)
1) A switching point can only be set when the red LED is OFF. When the
red LED is flashing at 1.5Hz, the magnet is located in the region of
the operational reserve. It is not possible to set a switching point.
The operational reserve is required for the safe setting of switching
points in the edge region. When the red LED is illuminated, the mag-
net is outside the sensing range. It is not possible to set a switching
point.
