Interfaces of the IDS-PN sensor module

Display and diagnostics

• 10 LEDs to display device operating states and errors – and for basic communication diagnostics.
• 2 measuring sockets for diagnostics and to update the firmware. These are not required in operation and are reserved for the use of experienced development engineers.
  1 x M12 [DIAG], 12-pole, A-coded (Binder No.: 99 0491 12 12).
  Program/debug interface, 4-channel analog value output (2 x sensor analog signal, 2 x analog monitor) and 2-channel digital output (2 x sensor digital signal) for development engineers.
  1 x M8 [RS232], 6-pole (Binder No.: 79 3465 52 06).
  RS232 command interface for development engineers, e.g. for diagnostics and parameterizing the sensor and the analog signals.

Communication

• 2 x M12 [Ethernet 0 / Ethernet 1], 4-pole, D-coded, PROFINET IO with IRT.
  Integrated 2-port switch to configure a PROFINET line-type topology, e.g. with additional sensors and the SIMOTION control. In addition to real-time data, acyclic data – such as signal trace and sensor parameterization – are also transferred via this interface. Matching M12 PROFINET prefabricated cables are available, or users can assemble them themselves (see PROFINET).

I/O devices

• 1 x fiber-optic cable connection, 3-pole.
  Plug-in screw connection for the fiber-optic cable, which is available in 2 lengths.
• 1 x M8 [external sensor], 4-pole.
  To connect a DS sensor module for a second fiber-optic cable. The required prefabricated connecting cable is available in two lengths, as an accessory.

Power supply

• 1 x M8 [24V=], 3-pole.
  A prefabricated cable to connect the 24 V DC electronics power supply is available as an accessory.

Additional interfaces

• 1 x M12 [Encoder], 8-pole, A-coded, encoder connection (Binder No.: 99 1487 812 08).
  A TTL incremental encoder can be directly connected here (e.g. for feedback signals from a side register actuator motor).

Option module

The SIMOTION TRC1000 accessory DS sensor module extends the IDS-PN to include a second, external fiber-optic cable connection for measuring register marks at both sides and for two-web measurements, and for horizontal mark arrangements:

• 1 x fiber-optic cable connection, 3-pole.
  Plug-in screw connection for the fiber-optic cable, which is available in 2 lengths (see IDS-PN).
• 1 x M8 [IDS-PN], 4-pole.
  Connection to the IDS-PN basic unit using prefabricated cables.
