2 For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
This wenglor product is intended for use in accordance with the following functional principle:
Inductive Sensors with Increased Switching Distance
Inductive sensors are used to detect the position of metallic objects. A coil is located underneath the
sensing face of inductive sensors which generates a magnetic field. Approaching metal objects (e.g. steel,
aluminum or brass) generate eddy currents within this magnetic field which are measured by the sensor.
When the approaching metal object reaches the selected switching distance, the output is switched.

6 Functions Overview
This section explains the sensor’s functions and LED symbols in more detail.
6.1 Function Description
This function description refers to a setting on the potentiometer of the sensor.
6.1.1 Starting Up the Product as Supplied
Device is ready for use and can be put into operation.
The sensitivity is at the maximum setting in order to be able to detect the smallest possible objects.
The time delay setting is set to 200ms (turn all the way to the right).
INFORMATION
If static ring sensors are mounted in such a way that metal objects are located within zones A and C as
defined in Installation Instructions, the ring sensors must be calibrated to the environment. This can be
done using the procedure described in section Teaching in the environment [}15]
6.1.2 Teaching in the environment

6.1.3 Starting Up the Product with User-Defined Settings
When adjusting settings on the device, a distinction can be made between setting the sensitivity and the
time delay.

6.1.3.2 Adjusting the Off-Delay
The sensors are delivered from the factory with the maximum off-delay.

to the desired time delay.

INFORMATION
In the case of IRxFxxx static ring sensors, the potentiometer may be turned only up to the minus sign.

6.1.3.3 Setting the Pulse Length
The pulse length adjuster can be used to set the time until the signal drops at the output between 5ms
and 200ms.

+ Delay
For sensors based on the static principle, the time in which the object is in the device’s active surface can
be longer than the set pulse length (tt ≥ td), since the output remains switched as long as an object is in
the active surface.
If the object is shorter than the set pulse length within the active surface, the switching signal is main-
tained until the preset off-delay is reached.
6.1.3.4 Activating Alternative Frequency
The alternative frequency can be activated either via the cable connection (see Electrical Connection [}13])
or via IO-Link.
The activated working frequency enables another sensor for which this setting is deactivated to be oper-
ated in the immediate vicinity without the sensors interfering with each other.
6.1.3.5 Using Counter Functions
The counter functions can be parameterized via IO-Link and read out via the “Counter Output Status”. To
do so, the Config must be switched to the desired mode. If an event is to be parameterized on switching
output A2 in relation to the counter functions (Compare mode 1 to 3 and Overflow/underflow mode), the
input of pin 2 must be set to output 2 “Counter” and to the desired output function, such as PNP, NPN or
push-pull.
Terminology
Signal: Is present if an object has been detected
Counter: Counter that counts if a signal is present
Counter Compare Value: Configurable value at which an event occurs when it is reached
Counter Max Value (Period): Configurable value that specifies the period length in relation to
the counter
Perioden Counter: Indicates the number of periods
Counter Output Status: Indicates the switching behavior of the counter

6 ‒ Functions Overview | IR3F001 ‒ Inductive Ring Sensor 18
Configurable Counter Modes
• Only counts
• Compare mode 1
• Compare mode 2
• Compare mode 3
• Overflow/underflow mode
Counting can be up or down in all modes.
Only counts
In this mode, the device counts the detected objects. Figures 1 and 2 show an example with a “Counter
Max Value (Period)”of 5.
Illustration1: Only counts function - counting up
Illustration2: Only counts function - counting down
Compare mode 1
In this mode, the “Counter Output” is switched when the comparison value is reached. If the set period
value is reached, this value is maintained, and the “Counter Output” switches back to false. Figures 3 and
4 show the “Compare Mode 1” function with a “Counter Compare Value” of 3 and a “Counter Max Value
(Period)” of 5.
Illustration3: Compare mode 1 function - counting up
Illustration4: Compare mode 1 function - counting down
Compare mode 2
As soon as the set comparison value is reached, the “Counter Output Status” is switched until the end of
the period is reached. Figures 5 and 6 explain the “Compare mode 2” with a “Counter Compare Value” of
3 and a “Counter Max Value (Period)” of 5.
Illustration5: Compare mode 2 function - counting up
Illustration6: Compare mode 2 function- counting down

6 ‒ Functions Overview | IR3F001 ‒ Inductive Ring Sensor 19
Compare mode 3
In this mode, the “Counter Output Status” is switched when the comparison value is reached. If the set pe-
riod value is reached, this value is maintained, and the “Counter Output Status” switches back to false.
Figures 7 and 8 show the function with a “Counter Compare Value” of 3 and a “Counter Max Value (Pe-
riod)” of 5.
Illustration7: Compare mode 3 function - counting up
Please note: For this function, a value must already be set on the counter when counting down.
Illustration8: Compare mode 3 function - counting down
Additionally, in this mode the Counter can be reset by the “One Pulse Status” (“Reset or no event”). A
reading can also indicate whether the comparison value has already been reached (“Event detected”).
Overflow/underflow mode
With this setting, the “Counter Output Status” is always switched if the period end is exceeded or fallen
short of. Figures 9 and 10 show the function with a “Counter Compare Value” of 3 and a “Counter Max
Value (Period)” of 5.
