8 Operation
Connect the unit to an IO-Link master (master port class A) using a 4-pole connection cable. The
controller switches the individual LEDs / LED segments on and off in the configured colours according
to the set parameters.
Via the parameter [Operating mode] the following modes can be set:
• Signal Light Mode
• Level Meter Mode
8.1 Signal Light Mode
While the device is operating, the controller switches the LED segments and the buzzer (if present) on
and off (PDout, cyclical data communication). Signalling corresponds to the pre-defined parameters
for the individual LED segments and the buzzer.
Via the acyclic parameter setting the following properties can be set for every LED segment:
• Segment size (number of LEDs for the individual LED segments)
A maximum of 20 LEDs can be divided into a maximum of 5 LED segments.
• Space between the segments
The lowest LED in each LED segment can be switched off.
• Colour per LED segment (off, red, green, orange, blue, violet, turquoise, white, user-specific)
• Colours of the 20 LEDs (3 user-specific combinations with a maximum of 20 colours each)
• Frequency per LED segment (permanently on, flashing slow/medium/fast, blinking slow/medium/
fast)
• Brightness of all LEDs (0...100 %)
For the models with an acoustic signal device the audibility of the buzzer can be set (0…100 %).

8.2 Level Meter Mode
While in operation the controller transmits an analogue value between 0 and 100 % in byte 1 via
PDout. The device indicates it if the analogue value exceeds configured thresholds. Byte 0 determines
the display of the visual signalling as well as the acoustic signal (only for DV2910 and DV2930).

Fig.2: Application example
Via acyclic parameter setting, the following properties can be set for the LEDs:
• Direction of movement (from bottom to top or from top to bottom)
• Level thresholds per LED (a maximum of 20 thresholds between 0 and 100 in ascending order)
When the threshold is exceeded, the corresponding LED is activated.
• Colours of the 20 individual LEDs (20 different colours each or off)
• Colours of the 20 LEDs (3 user-specific combinations with a maximum of 20 colours each)
• Frequency per LED (permanently on, flashing slow/medium/fast, blinking slow/medium/fast)
• Display range (all LEDs, individual LEDs, top LED only)
• Brightness (0...100 %)
For the models with an acoustic signal device the audibility of the buzzer can be set (0…100 %).

--- Analogue value 0...100 % Byte 1
8.3 User-specific colour combinations
In both Signal Light Mode and Level Meter Mode, the LEDs are controlled according to the process
data.
Independently of this, the user has the option of defining three different colour combinations (User
preference color Bank 1, Bank 2 and Bank 3).

20-LED light tower DV2900 DV2910 DV2920 DV2930
13
If a number from 1-3 is sent in the process data (byte 0, bit 1+2), the current display of the segments /
LEDs is overwritten with the selected colour combination Bank 1, 2 or 3. For example, in Level Meter
Mode, a warning message can be switched to when a certain event occurs (e.g. all LEDs flash red).

9 Parameter setting
Parameters can be set before installation or during operation.
If you change parameters during operation, this will influence the function of the plant.
uEnsure that there will be no malfunctions in your plant.
During parameter setting the unit remains in the operating mode. It continues to monitor with the
existing parameter until the parameter setting has been completed.
Depending on the parameter setting, the parameters available in the menu may change.
Requirements for parameter setting via the IO-Link interface:
üA suitable parameter setting software, e.g. ifm moneo|configure
üThe Input Output Device Description (IODD) for the device, see documentation.ifm.com
üOne IO-Link master
uConnect the IO-Link master to a parameter setting software.
uSet the port of the master to the IO-Link operating mode.
uConnect the device to a free port of the IO-Link master.
wThe unit switches to IO-Link mode.
uChange parameter settings in the software.
uWrite parameter settings to the unit.
