verify of the safety function. If you do not check the operation and use it with
incorrect settings, risk of impaired death or serious injury.
♦Other matters
• Never modify this device. Risk of impaired device functionality and death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
●This product cannot be used to directly enter settings from the IO-Link master
unit to a light curtain using IO-Link communication.

6FUNCTIONS
●The product connected to the IO-Link master unit enables monitoring the op-
eration status of the connected light curtain (Please refer to "14 PROCESS
DATA(PD)" and "15SERVICE DATA(SD)" for monitoring items).
●This product stores the old (before replacement) light curtain setting data inside
SFD-WL3, and copy setting data to the new (after replacement) light curtain after
replacement.
Note )
Writing is possible only for the same combination(model name,number and pitch of optical axis)of light curtain
that got setting saving information.

10 LIGHT CURTAIN SETTING DATA COPY FUNCTION
●This function reads the setting data stored in the light curtain and copies it in the
product's internal memory (nonvolatile memory).(You can not create and save
data le for external back up.)
●When the light curtain is replaced during maintenance or for other reasons, the
setting data stored in the product's internal memory can be written to the newly
installed light curtain. This facilitates the setting work and also prevents setting
errors.
Note )
This function cannot be used unless the product is connected with the IO-Link master unit and is able to use IO-
Link communication. For detailed information, see [

Notes: 1) If the light curtain fails to maintain normal communication status, the error code will not be displayed.
2) The elapsed time is the time from energization start to power shutdown of the light curtain (not cumulative time). The default display immediately after the start is [1(Year)/1(month)/1(day)/0(hour)/0(minute)/0(second) ].
3) When light curtain information access is executed, OSSD outputs of the light curtain is xed to OFF. Also, while the light curtain information is being accessed, the bit of the light curtain communication control state becomes "1" and other controls
are not accepted. Do not turn off this product and the light curtain while accessing light curtain information. The setting information of the light curtain may be deleted.
4) Reads the data (blanking information and others)set in the light curtain and save it in the product's internal nonvolatile memory."R": Light curtain setting data save is possible only for all CH of "sub index _16".
5) Writes the light curtain setting data stored in the product to the connected light curtain. After Writting, please conrm that there is no abnormality in the communication control result (PD).
[Note that the stored setting data can be written only when the conguration (model code, number of light beams, light beam pitch)of the new light curtain is the same as that of the previous light curtain.]
6) After executing the light curtain information access, execute the light curtain restart and cancel the OFF xation of the OSSD outputs of the light curtain.
