1General Information
1.1 Documentation
The following documents describe this product:
The data sheet describes the technical data, the dimensions, the pin assignment, the
accessories and the order key.
The installation instructions describe the mechanical and electrical installation with all
safety-relevant conditions and the associated technical specifications.
User manual for connecting the display to an IO-Link master and for commissioning.
IODD file (IO-Link Device Description); with the help of this file, the connection and
configuration with an IO-Link master is possible by means of commercially available IO-
Link masters and their configurators.
You can also download these documents at http://www.siko-global.com/p/ap10s.
1.2 Definitions
If not explicitly stated otherwise, decimal values are given as figures without an extension (e.
g. 1234), binary values are marked after the figure with a b (e. g. 1011b), hexadecimal values
with an h (e. g. 280h).
1.3 Intended use
Unless otherwise described, normal operation of the system with unchanged factory setting is
assumed for the further description of functions.
The present device is an absolute position indicator with integrated IO-Link interface and a
plug-in connection for MS500H magnetic sensor for direct linear distance measurement
(combined with MB500/1 magnetic tape) or a supported GS04 magnetic sensor for direct shaft
mounting. Indicators, control buttons and interface are only active with external power
supply. The sensor of measurement encoder works magnetically incrementally. Without an
external power supply, encoder changes are recorded with battery support. The status of the
replaceable battery is monitored. A volatile TargetValue can be displayed below the
ActualValue via the backlit two-line LC display A direction display (indicator) is displayed if
there is a deviation between the actual value and the target window (target value including
TargetWindow parameter). The arrow direction indicates in which direction the shaft must be
rotated to reach the target window. In addition, the position status of two two-color LEDs
(green and red) is displayed. Device malfunctions or inadmissible operating conditions are
displayed. Since both linear magnet sensors are used with the AP10S, a clockwise direction of
rotation must be equated with a positive travel path.

Display and control elements
AP10S Date: 12.05.2020 Art. No. 90304 Mod. status 110/20 Page 6 of 44
The buttons can be used to select various functions and to adapt the device parameters of the
application stored in non-volatile memory. The actual value can be queried via the interface,
the target value can be changed and all device parameters can be adjusted.
1.4 Switching on the operating voltage
The AP10S will be initialized after switching on the supply voltage. A system and display test
is executed during initialization, the LEDs are lighted consecutively and the parameters are
loaded from the non-volatile memory into the RAM of the controller.
At first use, the default values are used during initialization. After the return of the external
power supply or software reset (warm start), the AP10S works with the last saved parameters.
If no fault has been detected, the AP10S starts normal operation and can communicate with
an IO-Link Master.
2Display and control elements
The position indicator has a two-line display with special characters and three control keys.
The actuator can be configured and controlled via the keys.
Two LEDs (LED1, LED2) serve for monitoring positioning.
Fig. 1: Display and control elements
2.1 LCD - Anzeige
The display range is limited to -199999 … 999999. Values outside this
range are displayed with "FULL".
When the operating voltage is applied, the actual value (absolute position value, ActualValue)
is displayed in the first line. If there is no valid target value, " --- " appears in the second
line. If a target value is declared valid by means of the control bit in the process data (see e.
g. bc09_TargetValueActive), this is displayed in the 2nd line. The values displayed are
determined by the operating mode.
Direction indicators (arrows) support positioning.
The battery symbol is shown with a critical or insufficient battery status. If battery
voltage drops to a critical value, the battery symbol on the display will flash. If it falls below
the minimum value, the symbol will glow permanently.

With incremental measurement function activated, the incremental measurement symbol
is shown.
This is signaled in red letters in the event of a fault.
Fig. 2: Two-line 14 segment LCD display
2.1.1 Extended display range
Values up to -199999 can be displayed by means of the ControlWords (see
bc03_DisplayRange). If the relevant bit has been set and the value to be displayed is between
-199999 and -999999, then the negative sign and the digit of the highest order will flash
alternately. If the value range drops below -999999, "FULL" will be displayed.
2.2 LED display
2.2.1 Device status
A test sequence is executed on these LEDs during initialization.
In its basic state (factory setting) the LED display has different meanings depending on the
operating mode (see chapter 3.1).
In order for LED1 or LED2 to be controlled via the ControlWord, this function of the LEDs must
be activated by means of parameters (see chapter 3.1.1.3, 3.1.2.1, 4.4 and 5.1).
2.3 Control keys
Pressing the Incremental button switches the increment function or a relative
measurement on or off.
Pressing the Calibration button starts the calibration and acknowledges an existing fault.
In the "Alphanumeric display" operating mode, the receipt of a target value is acknowledged
by this action.
Pressing the Configuration button starts the parameterization.

2.3.1 Key lock and enable time
The key access to the chain dimension function and calibration can be generally blocked with
the parameters KeyCalibration and KeyIncremental (see chapter 4.5.3). The time during which
the button must be pressed until you can enter the menu can be set in the Options menu.
Access via keys to the changeable device parameters can only be obtained after entering the
PIN. This can be defined using the parameter PINChange (see chapter 4.5.6).

3.1.1 Absolute position operating mode
The measured absolute position value is calculated depending on the parameters Resolution,
DisplayDivisor and DecimalPlaces and displayed as actual value. The actual value (ActualValue)
of higher-level control can be provided via the interface and a target value can be set as a
default. The target value must be set to valid in the ControlWord (bc09_TargetValueActive).
3.1.1.1 Positioning
Target window:
A target window is formed to be able to define a tolerance range.
Target window = TargetValue ± TargetWindow
Example Position monitoring:
TargetWindow = 5
TargetValue = 100

Fig. 3: Positioning monitoring with TargetWindow
Directional arrows:
To assist in positioning, direction arrows are displayed in the display as long as the current
actual value is outside the valid target window. The arrow direction indicates in which
direction the sensor position must be changed to reach the target window.
LED display:
With factory setting, the LED glows green as long as the actual value is within the
programmed window. When leaving target window, the LED glows red. The sensor position
must be changed in the direction of the glowing LED in order to arrive at the target value.
The red glowing LED1 (left): method of the sensor in negative counting direction. Red
glowing LED2 (right): method of the sensor in positive counting direction.
With factory settings, the LED display (see chapter 4.4) has the following meaning:

3.1.1.2 Loop positioning
Target window is also applied to the loop length.
The behavior of the clearance compensation is independent of the set
counting direction of the display. The loop type must be changed to change
the clearance compensation.
If the position indicator is operated on a spindle or an additional gear, the spindle or external
gear backlash can be compensated by means of loop positioning. Therefore, movement
towards the target value is always in the same direction. This direction of approach can be
defined.
Since both linear magnet sensors are used with the AP10S, a clockwise direction of rotation
must be equated with a positive travel path.
Example:
Each target position should be approached with a clockwise rotation (CW) of the shaft.
The parameter LoopType = 1 (POS) is set for this.
Case 1 the new position is greater than actual value:
The target position is approached directly clockwise (CW).
Case 2 the new position is smaller than actual value:
The directional arrows of the position indicator indicate that the LoopLength is to be
moved counterclockwise (CCW) beyond the target position. The target value is then
approached clockwise, i. e. in positive direction.

3.1.2 Alpha-numeric display operating mode
Two 6-digit target values can be displayed in this operating mode. The target values are
acknowledged by pressing the button (see chapter 2.3).
Alpha-numeric display:
Both lines are freely writable. The content of the display line can be transmitted via the
DisplayData parameter, and the content of the display line can be transmitted via the
TargetValue parameter. In ControlWord, the values must be switched to valid (see e. g.
bc09_TargetValueActive) and the bits for data identification must be set correctly (see e. g.
bc07_TargetValueTypeSelect). The data identifier is used to distinguish whether the data is
interpreted and displayed as a number or as an alphanumeric character (ASCII)
(see chapter 4.1.1, 4.1.3 and 4.1.5).
LCD display:
If there is no valid target value, the 1st display line is displayed blank. "----" appears in
the 2nd display line.
A valid target value is displayed flashing until its receipt is acknowledged. If neither target
value has been acknowledged, both values are acknowledged jointly by pressing the key.
Acknowledgment can also take place via the corresponding control bit via the interface.

3.2 Battery buffering
Without an external power supply, encoder changes are recorded with battery support.
Depending on the duration of battery operation (including storage) and the frequency of
adjustments without an external power supply, the battery life is approximately 8 years.
Battery voltage is checked at intervals of approx. 10 min. If battery voltage drops below a
specified value, the battery symbol will blink on the display. If the battery voltage
continues to drop, will be displayed permanently. The battery should be replaced within
approx. three months after the first appearance of the battery symbol. For battery
replacement it is mandatory to follow the instructions of the installation instructions.
Replacement can also take place at the SIKO distribution partners or in the SIKO main plant.
Behavior of the StatusWord:
The charge status of the battery is signified in the StatusWord. In the case of a critical
charging voltage, bs11_BatteryState is set, and in the case of an empty or non-existing
battery, a fault is additionally signaled with bs07_GeneralError.
3.3 Parameterization of the position indicator
The position indicator can be fully parameterized via the IO-Link interface. All parameters can
also be set manually with the help of the keyboard.

3.3.2 Parameterization via interface
The position indicator can be completely parameterized in the IO-Link interface
(see chapter 5.2).
3.4 Calibration
Calibration is only possible if the chain dimension is not active and the
actual value is not 0.
Two steps are required for executing calibration:
Write calibration value: Parameter CalibrationValue (see chapter 4.2.5).
Execute calibration (using operating keys, see chapter 2.3 or SystemCommand
see chapter 5.3 or ControlWord see chapter 5.1.1.1).
Since the measuring system is an absolute system, calibration is necessary only once with
commissioning. With calibration, the CalibrationValue is adopted for calculation of the actual
value. The following equation is applied in case (time) of calibration:
Actual value = ActualValue = 0 + CalibrationValue

3.5 Sensor
Alignment travel is required if a new sensor is connected (see chapter 3.6).
Mounting of the sensors as well as installation of the sensor cable is explained in the
documentation pertaining to the sensor MS500H or GS04. With 24 V supply voltage operation
the display controls the connected sensor. If no sensor is connected or if the sensor is lifted
from the tape (MS500H), an error will be detected and the position value displayed red with
flashing "Error". This status persists even with power supply failure. The error must be
corrected after checking the sensor connection or sensor position with calibration
(see chapter 2.3 and chapter 3.4). If both battery supply and power supply fail simultaneously
(e. g. during a battery change), the absolute position value can get lost. For making the
measuring system work again, calibration is required (see also chapter 3.8 and 3.4).
3.6 Alignment travel
The AP10S is fully functional as delivered. To adjust the display to the connected sensor and
to achieve optimum measuring accuracy, alignment travel must be carried out whenever a
new/different sensor is connected to the AP10S. A safe sensor error detection is also only
possible after a alignment travel has been carried out.
For calibration, the sensor must have been mounted correctly (see documentation MS500H or
GS04).
1. By entering CODE 000100, AP10S is set to the alignment mode (see chapter 3.3.1.9).
Display: 1st line "ADJUST"
2nd line "100" this value may vary by ±1.
2. When connecting sensor MS500H, it must be moved by a few millimeters in the direction
of the cable outlet (speed <1 cm/s).
When connecting sensor GS04, the shaft must be rotated clockwise by a few millimeters
(speed <<1 U/min).
In the lower line, the value will change in positive direction up to "103".
3. The alignment process will be completed when this value is finally exceeded. AP10S has
returned to normal operation and shows the corresponding display. If values above
"103" are displayed during alignment, then travel speed must be slowed down during
alignment.
It is not unusual that the position value cannot be displayed immediately after alignment
travel and "FULL" is displayed instead of the value. The display should be calibrated in this
case (see chapter 3.4).

3.8.2 Errors
Calibration may also be required Depending on the error type.
Error states are signaled via display (written in red or battery symbol) and interface. The
cause of the fault can be determined using the event or error code (see chapter 5.5 and 5.6).
To return to normal operation, the cause must be removed (see Table 16). Error signaling can
then be acknowledged or deleted with the key (see chapter 2.3).
If calibration is required, this is indicated in the display as "CALIB". Independent of
acknowledgment of the error status.
